"This was not discussed," Sanader told reporters after a meeting with
the leaders of parliamentary parties at which he informed them about
his recent tour of Brussels, Strasbourg and Berlin.
Sanader said he expected to meet Italy's Prime Minister Silvio
Berlusconi very soon to discuss all relevant issues.
"I expect to meet Berlusconi very soon, probably at the end of the
month at a quadrilateral meeting in Ljubljana," Sanader said, adding
that talks about a bilateral meeting had been held since their meeting
in Strasbourg.
"It is logical for Croatia to wish to have good relations with Italy,"
he said.
