ZAGREB, Feb 13 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic and US Ambassador Robert Bradtke on Tuesday discussed mutual accusations between Croatia and Italy over WWII victims, Croatia's participation in the ISAF Mission to Afghanistan, and bilateral issues.

The talks also addressed the mission of UN special envoy for Kosovo Martti Ahtisaari, who earlier this month presented a plan for Kosovo's final status, Mesic's office said in a statement.

Mesic reiterated that Zagreb did not accept the questioning of peace agreements with Rome, which Italian President Giorgio Napolitano did on Saturday, when Italy commemorated the victims of foibe, karst pits into which the Partisans threw members of the Italian minority in Croatia and Slovenia towards the end of WWII.

"It is absolutely unacceptable to bring into question in any way the 1947 peace treaty or revise the Osimo Accords," Mesic told Bradtke.

In his speech on Saturday, Napolitano said the "Slavic annexationist claims" had tipped the scales in the 1947 peace treaty and "acquired the ominous outlines of ethnic cleansing".

Mesic saw in such claims "elements of open racism, historical revisionism and political revenge-seeking," a statement condemned today by Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi.
