The Croatian government particularly welcomes the fact that the
prospect of membership in the European Union is based on individual
progress made by every country in adjusting with European
standards.
The government also accepts suggestions and comments contained in
the part of the report referring to Croatia and has entrusted all
competent ministries to pay special attention to priority tasks.
The government is confident that regional cooperation as specified
in the report, which undoubtedly excludes the EU's intention or
interest to establish or impose Balkan or any other sub-regional
structures, would be a very good foundation for strengthening the
Stabilisation and Association Process, to which Croatia is willing
to contribute itself.
In that context, the Croatian government welcomes the EC proposal
for the establishment of a new political forum - the Zagreb Process
- which would hold regular meetings at which ministers from
countries included in the Stabilisation and Association Process
would discuss issues of common interest with their colleagues from
EU countries.
