Garrod and Foley said on Tuesday at a news conference in this southern Bosnian town that as regards the set-up of the newly- elected bodies of authority, the interim statute of Mostar was in accordance with rules and regulations of the provisional electoral commission of the OSCE mission in Bosnia. The interim statute had to be complied with, they added. Foley told the conference that the Croatian television in west Mostar (HTV Mostar) would, after all, read a statement prepared by the OSCE media commission demanding from the HTV Mostar to admit in public its omissions in its programme and to admit that it used inflammatory language.
