Commenting on Croatian President Stjepan Mesic's statement that he would intervene militarily if the Bosnian Serb entity made a move to secede, Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic said on Wednesday this was yet another obvious attempt at provocation.

"This needs to end. This is yet another obvious attempt at provocation from Mesic," Jeremic told a news conference, after talks with his Czech counterpart Jan Kohout.

Jeremic said Mesic was "a man without any political and moral weight".

In an informal conversation with journalists on Monday Mesic said that if Republika Srpska organised a referendum on secession from Bosnia and Herzegovina he was ready to order the Croatian army to cut off the corridor in the northern Bosanska Posavina region.Mesic.
