The conference will take place in the Bosnian coastal town of Neum and a date will be set later. The outstanding issues such as the use of the Croatian port of Ploce by Bosnian companies, the construction of the Peljesac bridge and the border will be addressed by an interdepartmental task force at ministerial level, which is to be formed soon, Sanader said at a press conference.
The conference is expected to address all the existing problems and propose solutions before Sanader's reciprocal visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Congratulating Bosnia-Herzegovina on opening talks on a Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union, Sanader said that Croatia would provide full support to its neighbour on the road to EU membership.
The two officials were pleased with the conclusion of an agreement on dual citizenship, with Sanader saying that it would be nice if it could be signed during his visit to Sarajevo.
They also expressed satisfaction with a recently signed treaty regulating the rights of disabled Bosnian Croat war veterans and the families of members of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) killed in the 1992-1995 war. Croatia has ratified the treaty, and Sanader expressed hope that Bosnia-Herzegovina would do the same soon.
Sanader reiterated that Croatia was interested in the Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina preserving the status of an equal and constituent ethnic group in that country.
Terzic congratulated Croatia on launching membership talks with the EU, saying that it was also important for Bosnia-Herzegovina because it showed that the European enlargement process was not in question despite certain political problems.
Speaking of the outstanding issues between the two countries, Terzic expressed optimism, saying that the joint task force could complete their work in a month.
"There are a lot of technical issues, and politically it is beyond dispute that both governments want to continue cooperating in the spirit of good neighbourly relations," Terzic said.
Asked if there had been any changes in the Bosnian position on the Peljesac bridge, Terzic said that he and Sanader had agreed not to politicise the issue.
"It is the inalienable right of Croatia to connect two parts of its territory, and equally so Bosnia-Herzegovina has the indisputable right to protect its territory," the Bosnian prime minister said, adding that Croatia had to ensure unobstructed passage to Neum for Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"We have reduced the issue to technical concerns. If a good political environment is created, experts can find a solution that will be satisfactory (to both sides)," Terzic said.
The southernmost part of Croatia is cut off from the rest of the country at Neum, where Bosnia-Herzegovina has a narrow outlet to the Adriatic Sea. Last November the Croatian government started construction work on a bridge between the Peljesac peninsula and the mainland in order to bypass Neum and make it possible for people travelling to the country's far south not to have to pass through Bosnia-Herzegovina.
