Sarajevo  yesterday, on which assist 17 OIC members. The  group
aim  is  to help BH in the process of renewal & reconstruction.
�Our  country  is in a very difficult economic situation  which
cannot  be easily solved and causes internal problems. Economic
reconstruction   began  with  the  support  of   two   Brussels
conference donations and credits given by the World bank.  This
reconstruction  mainly covers the field of  infrastructure  but
the  main  problem  is posed by the renewal  of  producing  and
service  programs as well as residential funds.  Limitation  of
arming  and  employing of demobilized soldiers, their  families
and  victims  of  the  war  are also serious  problems�,  Prime
Minister Muratovic said in the conference inaugural speech.  He
requested  the  Group  members to  establish  a  fund  ensuring
interest-free credits, with the starting amount not lower  than
30  million  $.  The  highest representatives  of  the  Islamic

while  there  is a so-called service for the internal  affairs,
within  the secret police, charged for opposition, news-agency,
journalists and other �dangers�. There are special rooms in the
secret   police  where  these  calls  are  registered,   former
