President says he and PM agreed who and at what level represents Croatia abroad

ZAGREB, Sept 25 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said on Monday he and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader had agreed who would represent the state abroad in the future and at what level.
ZAGREB, Sept 25 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said on Monday he and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader had agreed who would represent the state abroad in the future and at what level.

Answering the question on Croatian Radio whether Croatian diplomats had tried to put his visit to New York last week in the background, Mesic said diplomats could not have any influence on that because he met President George Bush and former President Bill Clinton as well as received an award as scheduled.

Mesic reproached Croatian Ambassador to the US Neven Jurica because he learned from newspapers that Jurica was arranging Sanader's visit to Bush.

That is not sufficient reason to replace an ambassador, but is sufficient warning that it should not happen again, said Mesic.

He explained that a state delegation was led by the president and that if a visit was on the prime minister's level, then this should be said.

"If a visit is being arranged, the head of state must know what kind of delegation is going and must be asked if the visit may be arranged on behalf of the president of state."

Commenting on an article in Vecernji List daily alleging that his foreign policy advisor Budimir Loncar convinced the UN in 1991 to set an arms embargo for Croatia, Mesic said Loncar had helped Croatia a lot but that an attempt was being made to discredit him so that the president could be criticised.

Speaking of the arrest in Australia of Antun Gudelj, the killer of Osijek police chief Josip Reihl-Kir, Mesic said he did not believe that all the murders committed in the eastern city in the early 1990s would be solved but that Reihl-Kir's murder certainly would.

We already know who fired the shot and we will soon find out who gave the order, said the president.
