MOSTAR, March 15 (Hina) - Croatia's Ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina,
Josip Vrbosic, has dismissed the possibility that Croatia could introduce
countermeasures to respond to the recent decision of the Bosnian government to
suspend parts of its free trade agreement with Croatia temporarily cancelling
zero customs rates on some Croatian imports. "The Croatian
government has no intention of introducing any countermeasures and expects the
Council of Ministers of Bosnia-Herzegovina to withdraw its decision in the
shortest possible time and find a solution to this problem through talks,"
Vrbosic said in statement carried by Mostar's "Dnevni list" of Tuesday.
Vrbosic met Bosnia's Deputy Foreign Minister Lidija Topic in Sarajevo
on Monday and conveyed the dissatisfaction of his government with the decision
of the Council of Ministers.
The Croatian government last week sent a protest note to Bosnia's
Ambassador to Zagreb, Zlatko Dizdarevic, stating that it considered the Bosnian
government's decision discriminatory.
