ZAGREB, May 8 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said

At the opening of the "EU Days" project at Zagreb's Faculty of
Economy, Mesic said that at its founding session today the National
Security Council would adopt all by-laws and discuss the alleged
tapping.
MP Anto Djapic of the Croatian Party of Rights yesterday asked
ministers during question time in parliament about the alleged
illegal wiretapping of telephones of prominent residents of Zadar,
Gotovina's friends, to which Deputy Prime Minister Goran Granic
responded that "everything is done in accordance with the law", and
that he did not know of any illegal activities.
The council discusses the issues in the jurisdiction of security
services, ways of cooperation between the president and the
government in providing guidelines for the services' work, and
establishes annual guidelines for their work.
The council comprises of the president, the prime minister, a
government member in charge of national security, defence,
justice, internal affairs and foreign affairs ministers, as well as
the Armed Forces chief-of-staff.
Mesic and PM Ivica Racan co-signed a decision in late April,
appointing Ladislav Pivcevic as council head.
