Federation president candidate Vladimir Soljic said that his
program is a framework program. It is necessary to establish and
make operational an integral system of federal authority, from
municipal, cantonal to federal authority, Soljic said.
It is also necessary to provide for basic needs of families of
killed and wounded defenders and secure employment for demobilized
soldiers. One should also devise a program for displaced people and
secure fair distribution of international help.
According to Federation vice president candidate Ejup Ganic,
the top priority is the completion of the establishment of
Federation institutions and the return of all displaced persons.
It is necessary to develop relations with Croatia, Ganic said,
adding that Zagreb should support the policy of those Bosnian
Croats who support the Federation and an integral Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
