ZAGREB, Nov 4 (Hina) - The Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Republic of Croatia, Mate Granic, on Thursday received a delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, led by the deputy head of the Office for Central and Eastern Europe, Andre Collomb. The ICRC officials informed Minister Granic of their efforts aimed at providing aid to the refugees from Vares and the surrounding villages. The talks also centred on the problems which arose after the suspension of the exchange of POWs between the Bosnian Army and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO). The exchange was suspended as the Moslem side had failed to meet its obligations. (END) m-vm 042056 MET nov 93
