held talks with the bishop of Banja Luka, Franjo Komarica, in
Zagreb on Thursday, a statement from the Croatian Foreign

Warning about the difficult position of the remaining
Croats in Banja Luka (Serb entity, Bosnia-Herzegovina), Bishop
Komarica recalled that the whereabouts of missing Banja Luka
parish priests Tomislav Matanovic and Ratko Grgic were still
unknown.
During the talks Granic was informed about the problems
of Croats who had fled from northwestern Bosnia and about
great difficulties with which persons who want to return to
the area are faced.
Croatia was consistent in the implementation of
Washington and Dayton agreements, Granic said, adding that
everything was being done to protect the remaining Croats in
Republika Srpska and to find accommodation for those who had
fled to Croatia.
Granic had announced that the procedure for opening a
Croatian general consulate in Banja Luka would soon be
initiated, the statement said.
