LEADING CROAT AND BOSNIAK PARTIES AGREE ON RESTRUCTURE OF TRAVNIK

( Editorial: --> 0268 ) TRAVNIK, July 28 (Hina) - The Central Bosnian Canton branches of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BiH) and the (Bosniak) Social Democratic Action (SDA) on Monday reached an agreement on the reorganisation of Travnik. Travnik, as the centre of this joint canton is to be organised as a city union of municipalities, according to the same principles as Mostar, the centre of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, they agreed. In these two counties, Bosniaks and Croats share authority according to the parity principle. Conclusions of the meeting were that HDZ BiH and SDA benches are to present the harmonised text on the reorganisation to the Canton Assembly at a session scheduled for Wednesday. The agreement on the reorganisation of Travnik arrived a week after the deputy to the International High Representative in Bosnia- Herzegovina, Hanns Schumacher, visited the town. The Bosniak side until now refused any talks on the subject. (hina) lml jn 281330 MET jul 98
