CHIEF GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATOR SARINIC ON KNIN TALKS

SPLIT, Nov 3 (Hina) - The Chief Croatian government negotiator, Hrvoje Sarinic, said today upon return from occupied Knin that the next meeting with rebel Serb representatives would take place on Tuesday, Nov 15, at Zagreb airport. In the meantime, expert groups will hold meetings in Split and occupied Erdut (UNPA East). They will try to "define the problems with the electric power system, the oil pipeline etc," Sarinic told Croatian TV at Split airport. Sarinic said the eight-hour talks identified many more controversies than issues on which agreement was likely. "I'm afraid that the November 15 meeting will be a last-ditch meeting," Sarinic said. Upon their return from Knin, the co-chairmen of the Peace Conference on Former Yugoslavia, Owen and Stoltenberg, stayed closeted with US Ambassador Galbraith at Split airport for an hour. Owen and Stoltenberg declined to talk to reporters, while Galbraith announced a press conference at the Split Hotel tonight. (hina) jn as 032000 MET nov 94
