Croatia's wish to join the European Union as soon as possible is a
challenge and a duty for Zagreb, said mayor Vlasta Pavic. She spoke
about numerous projects intended to make Zagreb a modern
metropolis.
A letter from President Stjepan Mesic was read at the session. He
said Zagreb had to play a leading part in the transformation of
Croatia following a period of isolation on the international scene
and in the process of accelerated drawing closer to the EU and
NATO.
