ZAGREB, April 14 (Hina) - The Croatian government will insist that a free trade agreement with Bosnia-Herzegovina be respected. Its implementation is not in question and possible changes of the content of the agreement could be made
only through bilateral talks in the way which would be satisfactory to both sides.

which would be satisfactory to both sides.#L#
This is the standpoint of the Croatian Economy, Labour and
Entrepreneurship Ministry which Minister Branko Vukelic and State
Secretary for the economy Vladimir Vrankovic presented at a news
conference on Wednesday.
All relations between the two countries are regulated by international
agreements signed by both sides, but Bosnia clearly did not manage to
prepare itself for the implementation of the free trade agreement,
Vrankovic said commenting on a recent statement by the chairman of the
Bosnian Council of Ministers, Adnan Terzic who said that his
government would reduce import tariffs for some food products from EU
countries as a measure against "Croatia's monopoly" on the Bosnian
market.
Vukelic said that so far the two countries had problems in
agriculture, adding that competent ministers were intensively working
on the solving of those problems.
Bosnia did not request that the free trade agreement be withdrawn or
revoked, Vukelic said and added that Croatian ministry was not
considering that either.
