A BRIEF LOOK AT CROATIAN PRESS ON WEDNESDAY

ZAGREB, Apr 4 (Hina) - Today's VJESNIK carries a comment piece by Zvonimir Baletic, headlined "The Great Serbia Myth Is Falling Apart" and focused on the new UN Security Council resolution on Croatia. A comment piece by Ivkica Bacic, headlined "Milosevic Ready to Trade" discusses Serbia's plans and options after Resolution 981. Resolution 981 is also the topic of Maja Freundlich's comment piece, which says, in part: "The Croatian army has become an important stake in negotiations...Our strengthened army has disturbed many. It has become a threat and a strong political argument. In future negotiations, if a satisfactory solution is not in sight, Croatia will be able to take a military shortcut. Others are even more aware of this threat than we are." Today's VECERNJI LIST carries an interview with Juliet Stubican of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, headlined "We Encourage the Private Sector." "Our bank considers that Croatia is a good investment target and a country that can do much to attract foreign investors," Stubican says. (hina) mm as 051210 MET apr 95
