BOSNIAN CROATS NAME PRIME MINISTER, AMNESTY DRAFT DODGERS

MOSTAR, June 15 (Hina) - Herzeg-Bosnia's Presidential Council on Saturday decided to "grant amnesty to persons who did not respond to the general mobilization at the time of aggression on the Croatian people and Bosnia-Herzegovina." The Council said in a statement that criminal proceedings already under way against draft dodgers would be suspended and that new proceedings would not be instituted. "The decision comes into force immediately and will remain in force until legislation regulating this matter is passed," it said. At the instigation of the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ B-H), the Council appointed Pero Markovic prime minister of Herzeg-Bosnia. The government would be made up of the following ministers: Vladimir Soljic as defence minister, Ivan Vrankic as interior minister, Frano Franic as finance minister, Barisa Colak as justice and administration minister, Valentin Coric as minister for social affairs, and Nikola Antunovic as economy minister. The appointments were yet to be confirmed by Herzeg- Bosnia's lower house of parliament. (hina) vm 151815 MET jun 96
