"I was shocked to learn about the assassination attempt on you, at
the celebration of July 14, the French national holiday Bastille
Day. Luckily, the assassin was unsuccessful," Mesic said in the
note to his French counterpart.
"I am glad that you will be able to continue you official duties to
the benefit of your country - France, as well as to the benefit of
cooperation, democracy, peace and security in the world. The
assassination attempt on you proved that the enemies of democracy
do not stay still," Mesic said.
The Croatian President said it was necessary for all countries to
join the struggle against terrorism, now more than ever.
