ZAGREB, May 9 (Hina) - "We will invest all of our forces to be able to
submit a request for full membership in the European Union by
January 15, 2003, Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan said
Thursday, remembering Europe Day, May 9.#L#
Racan said integration processes in western Europe started 52 years
ago.
This government has no doubts, it does not see any other path for
Croatia but the one leading to Europe, Racan said at a government
session.
The path to Europe is the path of one's own development and
development means sacrifice, hard work, readiness for changes,
Racan said and added he was convinced citizens would also support
the government on the joint path to Europe.
At today's session, the government will establish basic economic
and financial policies for this and next year and amendments to laws
on income tax, pension and health insurance.
