OMRI DAILY DIGEST
No. 189, 28 September 1995
HUNGARIAN COALITION REMAINS INTACT--FOR TIME BEING. Hungary's two ruling
coalition partners still have not reached agreement over the issue of
cabinet reform, Magyar Hirlap reported on 28 September. The two parties,
fiercely criticized by the opposition for openly discussing their
"internal" disputes, previously agreed to settle any disagreement by 26
September. Socialist leader and Premier Gyula Horn and Gabor Kuncze,
Horn's deputy coalition leader from the Alliance of Free Democrats, said
at a press conference on 27 September that the failure to reach an
agreement does not mean the dissolution of the coalition, since the
original coalition agreement is still in force. Socialist deputy Imre
Szekeres recommended that if the coalition stays together, its internal
differences be patched over until next year so that the government can
focus on the 1996 budget proposal and draft tax legislation still to be
presented to the parliament. -- Zsofia Szilagyi

**NATO VAGUE ON NUKE ISSUE**
US General John Shalikashvili, the chairman of the joint chiefs
of staff, met yesterday with his Hungarian counterpart, Janos
Deak. Shalikashvili is on a tour of four central European
countries that coincides with NATO's expected release today
of a report detailing how and why the alliance will expand.
Central European countries like Hungary, the Czech Republic,
and Poland will probably be the first nations admitted to NATO
when it expands. According to some reports, the NATO document
requires new members to give the alliance the right to deploy
nuclear weapons on their soil during wartime. Shalikashvili
wouldn't confirm that when commenting on the NATO report.
"It addresses the issue of nuclear systems, concludes that
arrangements in effect now are satisfactory but that the
alliance reserves the right to make adjustments."
Any deployment of NATO nuclear weapons in central Europe would
almost certainly upset Russia which is vehemently opposed to
NATO expansion. But Western officials have said no outside
country will be allowed to veto the alliance's expansion.
And central European countries are eager to join the alliance.
Shalikashvili said he and Deak discussed the Hungarian
military's compatibility with NATO forces, especially in
doctrine and communications.
"I think we were able to conclude at the end of our discussions
that we are of one mind where we stand and feel very good
about the progress made to date."
Shalikashvili began his trip in the Czech Republic and stopped
in Slovakia before heading to Hungary. He'll travel to Poland
later today. That'll be the final stop of his visit. --David

**BIDDING BEGINS FOR CROATIAN PIPELINE**
The Croatian Privatization Fund has gotten two bids for 15
percent of its Adriatic oil pipeline. The two bidders:
Austria's OMV and Hungary's MOL. A total of 111,427 shares
were advertised for sale through an international tender which
closed yesterday. The stake was priced at about $75 million.
The Austrian bid included no fixed price for the shares but
OMV considered the 15-percent stake to be worth between $33.5
million and about $60 million. The final price will depend
on an evaluation of the pipeline's exploitation profitability.
MOL bid the nominal price of shares, but said it's interested
in buying only 10 percent of the pipeline. The pipeline runs
from the Adriatic deep-sea port of Omisalj through Croatia to
Hungary and central Europe. It has a capacity of up to 1.2
million tons of crude a year.

Intro: The U-S chairman of the joint chief of staff, General
John Shaliskashvili, says non Nato-countries, such as former
Warsaw Pact Nations, are welcome to join a peace keeping force in
Bosnia. Stefan Bos reports from Budapest, General Shaliskashvili
made his comments Wednesday after talks with Hungarian government
officials.
Text: U-S General John Shaliskashvili told reporters a new
peace keeping force in Bosnia, should not only include soldiers
from Nato countries.
General Shaliskashvili says he hopes non-member states, such as
former Warsaw Pact Nations, can join the force that will be
established after the warring factions sign a peace treaty.
// Shaliskashvili act. #1 //
We would welcome nations to participate in this
implementation force. Whether they are Nato or not
belonging to Nato.
// End act. //
The U-S chairman of the joint chief of staff says he would
welcome Russia's participation in the military peace operation.
But he also says he does not know whether a Moscow proposal to
form a joint command between Nato and Russia can become a
reality.
// Shaliskashvili act. #2 //
It is equally important useful if Russia were to
participate. So I think we need not to continue the
discussions and see what it is that is possible to bring
those two concepts in line. So that at the one hand we
have a military sound operation and on the other hand
find a way that would permit Russia to participate.
// End act. //
General Shaliskashvili also stressed he would understand why some
former Warsaw Pact Countries that have common borders with former
Yugoslavia would refuse to cooperate in the peace keeping force.
Hungary has raised objections because of fears that it could
undermine already strained relations with former Yugoslavia,
where a large Hungarian minority lives.(Signed)

Intro: On a trip to Washington this week to talk to President
Clinton and other U.S. Officials, Romanian President Ion Iliescu
stressed the need for his country to be more closely tied to the
west, in particular Nato. V-o-A's Ed Warner attended a speech
given by the Romanian leader (Tuesday, 9/26), and has this
report.
Text: Romanian President Ion Iliescu says Romania suffered under
a harsh dictatorship and still has plenty of problems, but its
progress should be recognized. He made the plea in an address to
the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington
this week.
Mr. Iliescu said radical change is occurring in his country:
// Ilescu actuality //
Our nation, in effect, was reborn. All of our
institutions have been built anew: the parliament as a
genuine expression of the popular will, parties as
independent political structures, free elections as the
foundation of political freedom -- all have been
reinvented in the last six years.
// End act //
President Iliescu said this progress was due in part to outside
help from financial institutions like the International Monetary
Fund and the World Bank. He added that Romania is a member of
the Council of Europe, has an association agreement with the
European Union and has joined Nato's partnership for peace
program.
He said he looks forward to full membership in Nato, and was
encouraged by his conversation with President Clinton:
// Iliescu actuality //
We are confident that Romania has its place in the
widened structures of security, provided by an enlarged
Nato. In Romania, there is a large political consensus
on this strategic goal. All political forces share the
belief that our integration with Europe and
Euro-Atlantic institutions is where our present and
future lie. We are prepared to take the necessary steps
to be accepted as a full member of Nato at the earliest
opportunity.
// End act //
President Iliescu went on to say that Romania had launched a
diplomatic initiative to resolve the problem of minorities with
neighboring Hungary: Hungarians in Romania and Romanians in
Hungary. Better relations with Hungary, he said, would help both
countries gain membership in Nato.
While welcoming President Iliescu's appeal, some observers
questioned Romania's progress to date and cited the influence in
the governing coalition of extremist parties well populated by
former communists. Republican congressman David Funderburk, a
former U.S. ambassador to Romania, circulated a letter saying
most favored nation status should not be renewed for Romania
until it establishes more freedoms and property rights and curbs
the activities of the secret police. (Signed)
