While welcoming the positive steps which have been taken during 1996 towards normalization of relations between the former Yugoslav republics, including most recently in the case of Bosnia­Herzegovina and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Union contin­ues to attach considerable importance to the resolution of outstanding problems relating to the assets of the former Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia.
La Unión, que se congratula de las medidas adoptadas durante 1996 para la normalización de relaciones entre las antiguas repúblicas de Yugoslavia, sobre todo y recientemente entre Bosnia-Hercegovina y la RFY, sigue concediendo gran importancia a la resolución de los problemas pendientes en relación con los bienes de la antigua República Federativa Socialista de Yugoslavia.
