Mesic told reporters all details of the declaration had not yet been
harmonised. He stressed that tenancy rights represented the
biggest problem.
"Tenancy rights are the remains of the abolished socially-owned
property and, as such, cannot be renewed. We are currently
discussing ways of securing safe accommodation for returnees,
former holders of tenancy rights," Mesic said and stressed there
was no misunderstanding in the issue of property restitution and
that this had been solved.
The Croatian head of state met his Czech counterpart Vaclav Klaus
today. This was the first meeting between the two presidents since
Klaus got elected.
The two officials discussed Croatia's application for EU
membership. Klaus said his country supported Croatia's joining the
EU. Mesic and Klaus also focused on the two countries' cooperation
and the situation in the region.
