MOSTAR, Oct 17 (Hina) - Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and Mostar
officials on Friday discussed a procedure for the return of
displaced persons and refugees to the Mostar area, in line with
Annexe VII of the Dayton Peace Agreement which stipulates the right
to return. They agreed to meet again on 31 October in order to
discuss further plans on the matter.
Also present at the meeting were the Bosnian federal minister
for refugees, Rasim Kadic, and his deputy Damir Ljubic.
The closed meeting was chaired by Martin Garrod, head of the
Mostar regional office of the High Representative for Bosnia-
Herzegovina, and Neil Wright, head of the UNHCR office in Mostar.
According to Mostar Mayor Ivan Prskalo, today's meeting was
"very difficult". There was disagreement on numerous standpoints, he
said, but added the meeting was a "big step forward."
Prskalo advocated the refugees' return to the Mostar area
which, he stressed, will not be one-sided.
According to Garrod, all participants at today's meeting
unambiguously agreed the Dayton Agreement's Annexe VII must be
implemented.
Safet Orucevic, Prskalo's deputy, said he supported an
agreement on the return of all displaced persons to their homes
between Croatian President Franjo Tudjman and the head of the
Bosnian mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe, Robert Frowick.
Orucevic also advocated the return of Bosnian Croats to
Central Bosnia which, he said, was the only way to contribute to the
establishment of the Bosnian Federation.
