HEAD OF ZADAR COUNTY MEETS HEAD OF EC MONITOR MISSION

ZADAR, Nov 26 (Hina) - Following Friday's meeting with head of the Knin- based EC Monitor Mission Paul Ortholn, the head of Zadar County and Government Civil Affairs Coordinator in Sector South, Sime Prtenjaca, told HINA that he would not allow EC monitors perform their duty in Zadar without Croatian supervision because of their "inefficiency" and "doubts in their honourable intentions." "They seek information on the Zadar economy, the workforce in certain companies, sometimes threatening and insulting," said Mr Prtenjaca, stressing that he had told that to Mr Ortholn, who called it obstruction of the Mission's work. Mr Ortholn said that all misunderstandings should be sorted out, and that he would do all he could that monitors did not engage in work outside their mandate. Today's talks centred on the situation in the Zadar area. 261823 MET nov 93
