Biscevic informed the ambassador about the government's latest foreign
policy moves and its priorities. He said Croatia expected Serbia's new
government to continue down the path of democratic stability as the
basis for furthering bilateral relations.
Biscevic went on to say the agreement signed in parliament with
representatives of the Serb community helped in the solving of
concrete problems, but voiced the government's concern about recent
incidents in the northern Serbian province of Vojvodina which were
aimed against representatives of the Croatian minority.
