According to him, Austria and the European Union are investing
joint efforts to have this region as most important a factor of
stability as possible.
He said of the economic forum held in Zagreb on Thursday and the
tourist forum held on Brijuni on Friday that they had been more then
successful.
He said that a parliament discussion on stimulating investments
which was going on when he held a speech in the Croatian parliament
was a confirmation of an even better economic cooperation between
the two countries.
Mesic expressed satisfaction with Klestil's visit, describing it
as very successful, which, he said, was another confirmation of
excellent bilateral relations which would, after this meeting, be
even better.
"Croatia particularly respects Austria because it advocates
security in the region," Mesic said.
He expressed wish that the two countries' bilateral relations
continue to develop in such a tempo.
