Mrs Oakley informed Kostovic about a U.S. mission in Bosnia-
Herzegovina, which is aimed at providing support for a special
programme of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees
(UNHCR), which is to facilitate the return of refugees.
Mrs Oakley expressed satisfaction with the way Croatian
humanitarians were dealing with the problem of refugees, adding she
hoped that the refugee crisis in the Croatian Danubian area would
be solved soon.
Asked whether the U.S. official had offered any concrete
programs for the return of displaced persons to the Croatian
Danubian area, Kostovic said that after the establishment of
Croatian authority in the area, the United States would support the
development of small farms and other specialized programs.
On Saturday, Mrs Oakley will leave for Sarajevo.
