BOSNIAN FEDERATION CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY SESSION BREAKS UP OVER SAR

SAR $ AJEVO SARAJEVO, Sept 13 (Hina) - The Bosnian Federation Constituent Assembly broke up on Friday over the arrangement of the city of Sarajevo. Speaker Mariofil Ljubic called a break at about 4 p.m. to allow the Benches of the two leading parties - the Moslem-led Party of Democratic Action and the Croatian Democratic Union - to reach an agreement on the issue. When the House resumed work again an hour later, there was no quorum and the session broke up. According to HDZ Member Ivan Bender, the issue had been successfully resolved at the last session of the Federation Forum a few weeks ago, but the Moslem side subsequently failed to sign the agreement drafted at that session. Meanwhile, the HDZ Bench has decided to boycott further parliamentary proceedings until the Sarajevo issue has been resolved, the Bench said in a statement, carried by the Bosnian Croat news agency Habena.
