The trilateral meeting will address many issues important to each of the three countries as well as to the entire region, Komsic told FTV, the broadcaster of the Federation, Bosnia and Herzegovina's Croat-Bosniak entity.

Komsic said he had discussed preparations for the meeting with Josipovic in Zagreb recently. He said he had also met with Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, Economy Minister Radimir Cacic, and Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic.

"It's time we started dealing with bilateral relations, with long-standing issues, and we also talked about Prime Minister Milanovic's plan to build a road through part of BiH," Komsic said, adding that the Croatian government had not fully defined the details of the construction of the road leading to the southern Croatia's Adriatic resort of Dubrovnik.
