CROATIA, YUGOSLAVIA TO SIGN ROAD AND RAIL TRAFFIC AGREEMENTS SOON

BELGRADE, July 17 (Hina) - Delegations of the Croatian and Yugoslav ministries of transport and communications adjusted views on road and rail traffic agreements during a meeting in Belgrade on Thursday. The head of the Croatian delegation, Assistant Minister of Maritime Affairs, Transport and Communications Dragutin Subat, told reporters that the agreement were adjusted to such a degree that their signing could be expected soon. Subat said that talks on air traffic had been postponed because Yugoslavia thought that conditions for that had not yet been met. The Croatian delegation raised the issue of navigation along the Danube River, offering a protocol on opening that international waterway. (hina) vm 172210 MET jul 97
