CROATIAN GOVERNMENT AND REBEL SERBS MEET AT ZAGREB AIRPORT

ZAGREB, Jan 4 (Hina) - The Croatian government and UNPA Serb authorities met at Zagreb airport today to discuss the further implementation of the December 2 economic agreement. The talks adjourned at 4pm for an hour's break. The Croatian government delegation was led by Hrvoje Sarinic and Serbs were represented by Borislav Mikelic. "Croatia cannot be satisfied with agreements that are not being implemented or that are not implemented within set deadlines," Sarinic told reporters as he left the UNPROFOR base. He added that Croatia demanded that the agreement specify how businesses and industrial facilities would be repaired and deadlines for their reconstruction. "Without this, Croatia is not prepapred to continue negotiations or sign any document," he stressed. "What has been achieved so far in implementing the agreement certainly is not enough to motivate Croatia to extend UNPROFOR's mandate," Sarinic warned, adding this was the last chance do something about it. Speaking of Croatian remarks on the implementation of the economic agreement, Sarinic said Croatia was not satisfied with the way the Zagreb-Lipovac highway had been opened because of the presence of Serb police and troops and Serb symbols along the road. Sarinic was accompanied by Croatian ambassador to the UN in Geneva Miomir Zuzul and the talks were mediated by co-chairmen of the International Conference on the Former Yugoslavia David Owen and Thorvald Stoltenberg.
