The presidents of Croatia and Serbia, Ivo Josipovic and Boris Tadic, on Thursday evening arrived at Mt Jahorina, near Sarajevo, where they are scheduled to attend an informal trilateral meeting hosted by members of Bosnia and Herzegovina's collective presidency Zeljko Komsic, Bakir Izetbegovic and Nebojsa Radmanovic.

The official talks are expected to be held on Friday. Today Josipovic, Tadic, Komsic, Izetbegovic and Radmanovic will attend a dinner at the Termag hotel, which is under heavy police protection and security measures.

Friday's talks will focus on a joint fight against organised crime, a possible joint candidacy for organising sports competitions, applying for EU funds for cross-border cooperation projects, adjustment of the border regime to Croatia's EU entry, and consular representation in other countries.

The Office of the Croatian President said in a statement that Josipovic would present his proposal for prosecution of war crimes suspects in countries in which they reside.
