for direct flights between Sarajevo and Belgrade. I understand that interested countries intend to encourage international carriers to add these routes to their schedules.

I undertake to have my government organize a program of high-level visits to Belgrade and other important sites in Yugoslavia for officials and other distinguished persons from Bosnia and Herzegovina. I understand that Ambassadors from Contact Group and other interested countries will be available to participate as appropriate to help sustain international and domestic interest in the strengthening of ties between the the two countries.

My government will take the steps necessary to establish a bilateral Commission on Economic Integration and Infrastructure Development for bilateral cooperation on nationally- and internationally-funded projects affecting both countries. In particular, the Commission will Promote co-financing, joint ventures, and appropriate multilateral arrangements to develop the transportation, energy, and communications sectors in both countries.

My government will actively seek the establishment of a joint Chamber of Commerce to promote trade and economic development in both countries by coordinating, where  appropriate, the activities of the respective Chambers of Commerce in each country and by promoting ties with Chambers of Commerce in other countries.

My government will actively develop student exchanges between the two countries, as well as nominate students to participate in joint exchange programs with the United States. Similarly,  with support from the United States and other interested governments, my government will promote visits between the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Bosnia and Herzegovina for scientific, cultural, sporting, youth and similar groups. We will fully participate in the establishment and operation of a bilateral Commission on Cultural and Educational Exchange to develop programs in these areas.

In the context of regional arms control and related military confidence-building measures    agreed elsewhere by Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, my government will promote familiarization and staff exchange visits for officers from the armed forces of the other country. These visits will explore, among other measures, the establishment of liaison offices to each other's respective defense chiefs.

My government will actively support the establishment and activities of an international commission of inquiry into the recent conflict in the former Yugoslavia. This will include participation by the government of the states involved, as well as distinguished international experts to be named by agreement among the republics of former Yugoslavia. The Commission's mandate will be to conduct fact-finding and other necessary studies into the causes, conduct, and consequences of the recent conflict on as broad and objective a basis as possible, and to issue a report thereon, to be made available to all interested countries and organizations. My government will cooperate fully with this Commission.

Sincerely,

Slobodan Milosevic
