He said that he co 1d not give specific examples but
that he would make detailed information available to
the Department. The Secretary said that the Depart-
ment would look into the matter and see what could be
done to speed up the process if it were unduly slow.
The Ambassador suggested that it would be desirable
if the Yugoslavs could be given a preliminary indica-
tion, at the time of making their applications so that
they would have a better idea as to whether these applica-
tions might eventually be granted.
On the subject of Yugoslav exports to the United
States and other western countries, Mr Kosanovich
said that Yugoslavia had had some difficulty in finding
markets. In reply to a question from the Secretary he
said that Yugoslavia had on hand stocks of non-ferrous
metals for which markets in the west had not been found.
Mr. Rusk said that the Department would look into the
question of possible need for these products in Western
countries. The Secretary said that something might be
done to ease this particular Yugoslav problem.
Turning to political matters the Ambassador ro-
marked that the question of the Yugoslav-Greek frontier
had been mentioned in his previous conversation with the
Secretary and referred to Tito's speech at Pola on July
10 announcing the closing of that frontier. He added
that since its closing a number of incidents involving
Greek and Yugoslav soldiers had taken place in the fron-
tier area. Yugoslav soldiers and citizens, he said, had
been killed on Yugoslav territory, and Greek forces
had several times crossed the rontier. (Yugoslavia,
like Bulgaria and Albania, has made a continuous series
of allegations of frontier violations by Greece both
before and after the closing of the frontier; it is
impossible to checkthe authenticity of these charges
since Yugoslavia has not been willing to recognize the
existence of UNSCOB or to permit it to investigate
these incidents; one of the most recent was a charge
that Greek planes attacked the Yugoslav town of Skocivir
late in June; Yugoslav and Greek officers met at the
frontier on July 11th to discuss the matter but reached
no agreement on the facts or what to do about them) .
