Ambassador Degert informed the President about the progress of the legislation screening process and the importance of strengthening Croatia's implementation capabilities.
Mesic and Degert said it was important that during the accession process all sections of Croatian society should be focused on reforms.
Mesic said that cooperation with the European Commission and its representatives was good. "Messages sent by the European Commission are not just criticism, but also advice as to what should be changed and how it should be done, which is in Croatia's interests," he said.
It was also concluded that, along with the fulfilment of political commitments, it was very important for the state administration to be motivated for EU membership as a strategic goal.
