A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON MONDAY

ZAGREB, Feb 12 (Hina) - 'Ahead of Javier Solana's Arrival In Mostar' reads the headline of an article by "VJESNIK" journalist Mario Marusic on Hans Koschnik's arbitration in Mostar. 'Mostar's 'status quo' cannot last (too) long in any case', Marusic says. 'Vjesnik' reports on its front page of the Slovak Premier Vladimir Meciar's visit to Croatia, as well as of Croatian Defence Minister Gojko Susak's visit to the United States. 'A wise and brave decision' is Aleksandar Milosevic's description of the Croatian Government's decision to submit to the Parliament a Bill on Cooperation with The Hague Tribunal. The paper's topic of the day is the Croatian winter tourism and the fact that a great number of Croats spent their winter holidays in winter resorts abroad. Today's issue of the Croatian daily "VECERNJI LIST" explains why the Government refuses to change the Act on Transformation of Old Foreign Currency Savings Into Public Debt. Journalist Zeljko Kruselj writes about the book 'The History of Hungary', which appeared recently in the Croatian bookshops. The title of the article is 'A Look Over the Drava River'.
