ZAGREB, Nov 11 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic on Thursday
sent a letter to the highest representatives of the Palestinian authority
offering condolences on the death of Palestinian President Yasser Araft."He was a recognisable leader of your people, in the Arabic World but
also in the international community. Unfortunately, the political crisis in the
Near East remained the biggest problem in international relations today,"
Mesic said.
Arafat, a 75-year-old former guerrilla leader who was elected
Palestinian president in 1996, was declared dead in a hospital outside Paris on
Thursday.
