Commenting on an announcement by his Serbian counterpart that Serbia would join CEFTA although its demands, similar to Bosnia's, have not been accepted, Terzic told Dnevni Avaz on Sunday that his government would not make a similar decision.
He said Bosnia would not join CEFTA as long as Croatia did not accept its demands even at the risk of remaining the only country outside the association.
Terzic said he was puzzled by Croatian PM Ivo Sanader's attitude to this issue, announcing that Bosnia would even consider "harsher measures" against Croatia, such as the imposition of full tariffs on its agricultural exports to Bosnia.
Bosnia's Deputy Foreign Minister and chief negotiator on CEFTA, Anton Rill, said that Sarajevo recently sent to Zagreb a reduced list of agricultural goods on which Bosnia wants a three-year protection. "We hope Croatia will accept this," he said.
The signing of an expanded CEFTA is expected in Bucharest on December 19.
