ZAGREB, March 22 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic on
Thursday talked with his Turkish counterpart Ahmad Necdet Sezer on
the phone, at the initiative of the Turkish side, Mesic's Office
stated.
During the talks, Turkish President Sezer voiced concern over the
developments in Macedonia and informed President Mesic that he had
expressed his full support to Macedonia and its government during
his telephone conversation with President Boris Traikovski.
The Turkish head of state announced a more decisive action of the
international community in the near future, assessing that the
current events in Macedonia were the continuation of all what
happened in Serbia not very long ago.
Accepting the assessment of his interlocutor, Mesic said he also
believed that clashes in Macedonia were "an imported problem" and
added that Zagreb fully supported the sovereignty and territorial
integrity of Macedonia.
The Turkish president showed interest in the latest developments in
Bosnia-Herzegovina. In that context, mentioning extremist powers,
he said one should resolutely oppose to all what poses a threat to
the further harmonious development in the country, and in
particular to all what could bring into question the existence of
Bosnia as a state.
The two presidents agreed that the Dayton peace accords' provisions
must be implemented, and Masic added that only after that one can
talk about adding more elements to the deal. The Croatian head of
state asserted that moves of the Bosnian Croat National Assembly
were to the detriment of everybody in that country, and
particularly of ethnic Croats.
