The task force, that will hold the first session on 26 April, comprises representatives of Luxembourg, Great Britain and Austria, EU foreign and security policy chief Javier Solana and Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn.
They are scheduled to hold separate talks with Croatia's delegation, led by Prime Minister Ivo Sanader, and the Hague tribunal's chief prosecutor, Carla del Ponte, about whether Croatia is meeting the last condition to start EU entry negotiations.
We cannot say anything about the topics and contents before tomorrow's meetings, Asselborn told reporters on Monday.
As regards Croatia, I believe that it is better to leave comments for tomorrow when we shall have meetings of the extended Troika with the tribunal's Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte and Croatian Government officials. Then we shall see what message we shall send to the Croatian side, Olli Rehn said.
Earlier in the day, upon his arrival at the ministerial council in Luxembourg, Solana said Croatia's cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was of critical importance for the opening of accession talks.
We will talk openly so as to assess the current state of affairs, Solana said and added that the goal was clear, namely to see fugitive Croatian Army General Ante Gotovina in The Hague.
