ZAGREB, CROATIA – Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader said ahead of his trip to Bosnia’s Mostar that he is taking a message there that Croats living in Bosnia-Herzegovina have to be secured complete equality with the other two constitutive peoples, as well as that it is high time for solutions for the country’s future to be found. 

- This is a turning point and permanent solutions for Bosnia-Herzegovina should be made. One should keep in mind that it is also the homeland of the Croat people and that Croat people must be sovereign, equal and constitutive with the other two peoples in Bosnia-Herzegovina – Bosniaks and Serbs – Sanader told the Bosnian issue of the Vecernji list daily on Tuesday.

He said that Croatia, as a signatory to the Dayton peace treaty, wants Bosnia to remain integral and sustainable and is giving it all the necessary support on its way towards Euro-Atlantic associations.

The Croatian Prime Minister will speak at the opening of the Economic Fair at which Croatia is a partner-country this year.

He will also hold talks with the international community’s High Representative for Bosnia, Valentin Inzk, as well as presidents of the Croatian Democratic Party of Bosnia-Herzegovina (HDZ BiH), Dragan Covic, and of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Sulejman Tihic.
