Mesic visited Croatia's biggest seaport in the northern Adriatic to
attend a New Year's concert of the local national theatre's opera
orchestra. Earlier in the day he discussed the situation in Croatia
and the region with local officials.
Mesic said bigger investments in production would ensure more funds
for health, education, and culture.
He estimated the growth rate should reach five percent and voiced
hope "the painful measures the government is introducing will bring
improvements in the new year".
