HAMBURG - Clashes between Muslim and Croats in B&H Federation and antagonistic arguments of their leaders reached, according to assessment of commentators of German " Welt", a climax after comparison in a Muslim paper "Ljiljan" between the Croatian representative in B&H Presidency Kresimir Zubak and Bohemian- Sudetes quisling Conrad Heinlein. Asking a question why are Muslim leaders and "Ljiljan" dealing right now with a quisling character of certain Conrad Heinlein, " over whom a veil of secrecy was already drawn", the commentator of "Welt" finds an answer in a fact that Heinlein, following direct orders of Hitler, asked in 1938 for autonomy of region of Sudetes inhabited by Germans.
