ZAGREB, Jan 26 (Hina) - The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) holds it very important that Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina not feel endangered, and believes that the country's Croatian Democratic Union party
(HDZ) will eventually agree to participate in the forming of the new government authority, OSCE Mission chief to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Robert Barry, told a news conference in Zagreb Friday. We hold it very important that Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina not feel endangered by members of the other two constitutive peoples nor by members of the international community, Barry said, adding in this sense the role of Croatia was important because its presence and interest for events in BH show to the Croats they are not alone. Representatives of the Croat people in government do not necessarily have to come from the HDZ ranks, Barry said, expressing hope the HDZ would not boycott the work

Bosnia-Herzegovina not feel endangered, and believes that the
country's Croatian Democratic Union party (HDZ) will eventually
agree to participate in the forming of the new government
authority, OSCE Mission chief to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Robert Barry,
told a news conference in Zagreb Friday.
We hold it very important that Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina not
feel endangered by members of the other two constitutive peoples
nor by members of the international community, Barry said, adding
in this sense the role of Croatia was important because its presence
and interest for events in BH show to the Croats they are not alone.
Representatives of the Croat people in government do not
necessarily have to come from the HDZ ranks, Barry said, expressing
hope the HDZ would not boycott the work of state bodies.
Recalling OSCE's commitments in the area of defence in the country,
Barry advocated a decrease in military budgetary provisions of the
three elements of armed forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
