The Ministry received from the National Bureau of Statistics information that those carrying out the census have to right to suggest to citizens what to state as their nationality or religion, adding that all those who feel Bosniak may state so, and list their mother tongue as Bosnian, if they wish to do so, Ministry spokesman Goran Rotim said. Rotim said it was peculiar that Muratovic's note was sent ahead of tomorrow's visit of Bosnia-Herzegovina Foreign Minister Zlatko Lagumdzija to Zagreb. "The Foreign Ministry and the Croatian government are constantly working on the development of good neighbourly relations with Bosnia-Herzegovina, on the stabilisation of the political situation in the country and the wider region. Croatia supports Bosnia-Herzegovina in its efforts to draw closer to European associations, which will be one of the subjects of talks between Minister Lagumdzija and Tonino Picula (Croatian Foreign Minister), along with a number of agreement relations, customs issues and mutual efforts on the return of refugees to their homes," Rotim said.
