The talks focused on the promotion of relations and cooperation between Yugoslavia and Belgium as well as on efforts to strengthen peace and stability in the region. Milosevic and Poncelet welcomed the fact that the two countries had regular political contacts. The talks dealt also with issues concerning the U.N. Transitional Administration in Eastern Slavonia (UNTAES) that is of special interest to Belgium because of its participation in it. Confidence was expressed that the Multinational Force that plays a vital role in the region would continue to carry out its tasks successfully and act in line with its mandate and the Erdut Agreement. Also present were Yugoslav Defence Minister Pavle Bulatovic, Belgian Ambassador to Yugoslavia Jan Matthysen and other Yugoslav and Belgian officials. [02] SERBIAN REFUGEE COMMISSIONER: 76,000 VOTERS REGISTERED IN YUGOSLAVIATanjug, 1997-06-17The Serbian Refugee Commissioner told a news conference on Tuesday that 76, 000 persons that were to vote in Bosnia's local elections on September 13- 14 had been registered in Yugoslavia between May 5 and June 14. Bratislava Morina, head of the Yugoslav Commission for assisting refugees in local elections, said no incidents had been registered during the registration of voters through efforts by teams made up of representatives of the Serbian Refugee Commissioner and 35 monitors of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). Morina said, 'Yugoslavia has again done everything to implement consistently provisions of the Dayton Peace Accords enabling all entitled to the right to vote to exercise that right, which has been positively assessed by the OSCE representatives.' Morina said she hoped that this well-done job had brought Yugoslavia a step closer to the OSCE and other European institutions and that the country would soon be granted full membership in them. Zivota de Luca of the OSCE Belgrade Office said that, of the 76,000 registered voters, 90% wanted to vote in municipalities where they had lived until 1991, while only 7.2% (5,400 persons) decided to vote in their future place of residence. Only 2,100 persons lodged complaints because they were not on voters' lists based on the 1991 census. Their complaints were forwarded to the Sarajevo- based Electoral Sub-Committee that will deal with them and duly inform persons concerned. De Luca confirmed that no incidents had been registered during the registration, denying that refugees had been prevented from deciding freely where they would vote.

It was stated that headway had been made in developing control mechanisms of power in the Republic as well as in the opening of media and the need for political and state institutions to act publicly and in line with regulations and their respective responsibility.
