YUGOSLAVIA - CANADA

CANADIAN DIPLOMAT IN BELGRADE

B e l g r a d e, Nov. 20 (Tanjug) - Deputy Yugoslav Foreign Minister Radoslav Bulajic held a talk on Monday with Jean-Pierre Juneau, Assistant for Europe in the Canadian Foreign Ministry, about the situation in the territory of former Yugoslavia and about the peace talks in Dayton. Juneau expressed Canada's expectations regarding a successful ending of the Dayton talks and advised Bulajic of Canada's planned participation in a program of economic reconstruction of the areas of former Yugoslavia once the crisis was resolved by agreement. It was noted by both sides that the lifting of sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia would enable a quick recovery of traditionally friendly relations and cooperation between Yugoslavia and Canada in all domains. Juneau also had a talk with Assistant Yugoslav Foreign Minister Zivadin Jovanovic about efforts towards a political and just settlement of the crisis in areas of former Yugoslavia and about the relevant roles of the F.R. of Yugoslavia and Canada. The two sides assessed that the successful end to the peace process would enable the full normalization of the two countries' relations, expansion of political dialogues, and the development of traditionally friendly relations between the F.R.Y. and Canada. Also featured at the talks were the prospects for the renewal and development of economic cooperation between the two countries, for which, as the two sides ascertained, broad possibilities and mutual interests existed. The Yugoslav side displayed interest in transfers of up-to-date Canadian technology and in capital investments from that country. Bearing in view a large number of emigrants of Yugoslav origin in Canada, it was particularly pointed to the necessity to renew as soon as possible the work of the F.R.Y. Consulate General in Toronto and to re-establish regular air traffic between the two countries.
