    Yugoslav President Zoran Lilic stated upon returning yesterday from his African tour which included visits to Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Ghana and Guinea, that "Africa has clearly shown that it is a good and sincere friend for Yugoslavia". President Lilic also remarked that his trip to Africa "marked the path for the return of FR Yugoslavia to the international economic and political scene". "In all the countries that we have visited", he said "we have witnessed full support for the policy pursued by our country in the past several years, that we all hope will never be repeated." The importance of the African tour is confirmed by a series of agreements, contracts, protocols and letters of intention, that were signed with our hosts either by the government or by individual companies. Mr. Lilic remarked that the fact that the Yugoslav delegation included a large group of businessmen is also important, because their presence led to the signing of numerous contracts currently worth about 150 million dollars.

    [02] THE FEDERAL FOREIGN MINISTER IN VIENNA

    Yugoslav Foreign Minister Milan Milutinovic stated upon arriving in Vienna yesterday evening, that FRY wants to bring its relations with Austria back to the level they were on several years ago. "Previously we had excellent relations and very good economic ties. Austria was the fifth largest Yugoslav foreign trade partner", said Mr. Milutinovic and added "If we were to establish relations as they were, we would be quite pleased, since this would mean more than normalizing them." The head of Yugoslav diplomacy will meet today with Austrian vice-chancellor and Foreign Minister Wolfgang Shissel and with Chancellor Franz Vranicky. The main issues of their talks will be the enhancement of bilateral relations and the current situation in the region. (Borba, October 24, 1996)

    [03] STABLE ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES

Both sides agreed that stable economic relations between the two countries have been established . Along with concrete agreements on cooperation signed in the past several days by businessmen (worth several dozen million dollars), the schedule for future encounters has been defined. "During the talks, French businessmen have realized that there are no formal obstacles nor any other kind of impediments for the cooperation with FRY", said Mr. Mihajlo Milivojevic - Chairman of the Yugoslav Chamber of Economy. "Our hosts have also seen that all our regulations have been adapted to EU demands and that we are ready to face the European market in this sense. (Politika, October 24, 1996)

    [04] COOPERATION BETWEEN VOJVODINA AND THE BORDERING ZONES IN ROMANIA AND HUNGARY

    The abolition of international sanctions has created the conditions for renewing and improving the cooperation between the Province of Vojvodina and the Hungarian and Romanian counties along the border. Consequently, contacts between companies have been intensified lately. For example, in the Romanian town of Arad, a trilateral meeting has been organized involving the delegation of Vojvodina (headed by the Chairman of the Provincial Executive Council Bosko Perosevic), The Hungarian County of Tchongrad and Romanian Counties of Arad and Temis. It has been agreed to enhance the cooperation through joint projects for the development of these territories in the border zone of the three countries, which are particularly alleviated by the fact that the economy of all three countries in a transition phase. In order to expand the cooperation with the neighbors, the Vojvodina Executive Council launched the initiative to open new border crossings in Vojvodina which will create the preconditions for an even complex economic cooperation. One of the results of the talks is the exhibition of the companies from the Hungarian Tchongrad County, opening today in the Vojvodina capital of Novi Sad. Hungarian firms will present electronics, ready-mades, car parts and numerous other products. Besides presenting their product range, Hungarians will offer new forms of cooperation with companies from Vojvodina. (Politika, October 24, 1996)

    [05] JOINT STATEMENT - BASIS FOR THE CREATION OF DAYTON B&H

    The three members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina initiated the functioning of the Presidency and other joint bodies, completing a difficult but successful task - said yesterday in Sarajevo the US Deputy State Secretary for Europe - Mr. John Cornbloom - one of the promoters of the Bosnian Presidency meeting staged two days ago. Mr. Karl Bildt - international community High Representative for B&H, remarked that the session yielded results because the members of the Presidency promised to form the future Cabinet of the Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina by October 30th. International mediators in B&H are openly showing satisfaction due to the results of the Presidency session because the joint statement signed by its three members laid the foundation for the creation of Dayton Bosnia and Herzegovina. Their optimism is particularly prompted by the fact that the work of joint institutions has been stressed in the documents, as well as the principles of equality between the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska and between the three constituent nations.
