AGREEMENT ON BOSNIA'S COUNCIL OF MINISTERS REACHED

SARAJEVO, Nov 30 (Hina) - Bosnia-Herzegovina's Presidency members, Moslem Alija Izetbegovic, Croat Kresimir Zubak and Serb Momcilo Krajisnik, on Saturday reached agreement on structure and establishment of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Council of Ministers. Following five-hour-long talks in the National Museum building, they officially accepted a proposal by Michael Steiner, a deputy to the international high representative to Bosnia. The Council of Ministers would include two chairmen and one vice-chairman, Steiner told reporters after the session. There would be also three ministers, each of them covering two fields. Every minister would have two deputies of other two nationalities. It has been agreed that two chairmen should be a Moslem (Bosniak) and a Serb for the time being, while the vice-chairman should be a Croat. A Croat representative will also assume office of Bosnia-Herzegovina's foreign minister. At Saturday's session the three-person Presidency accepted officially the extension of the mandate of international troops in Bosnia, and thus positively responded to a demand made by the NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana.
