Petersen said the international community had supported the
process, but added some problems had to be resolved, particularly
in the fields of reconstruction, employment, the pension system,
and education.
Petersen said that in the autumn he would talk with representatives
of the World Bank and the European Development Bank, requesting
financial support and favourable loans which should help Croatia
deal with return issues.
