ZAGREB/LONDON, July 6 (Hina) - Croatia's Foreign Minister Tonino Picula ended his official visit to Great Britain on Friday. On the last day of the visit, Picula gave interviews to the CNN, BBC and The Herald Tribune. He said the
British media were interested in his visit because Croatia was still perceived as part of a region "which has not defined its democratic prospects yet." "Exactly in that sense Croatia stands apart and is expected to set an example for the others with its reforms because Europe and Great Britain want to see South-East Europe far more prosperous and stable than it is today," Picula told Croatian Radio on Friday evening. Hrvoje Vojkovic, president of the Croatian Privatisation Fund, who accompanied Picula on the visit, said the visit was useful as it helped present Croatia in a more favourable light as a country which was safe for foreign investments.

ZAGREB/LONDON, July 6 (Hina) - Croatia's Foreign Minister Tonino
Picula ended his official visit to Great Britain on Friday.
On the last day of the visit, Picula gave interviews to the CNN, BBC
and The Herald Tribune. He said the British media were interested in
his visit because Croatia was still perceived as part of a region
"which has not defined its democratic prospects yet."
"Exactly in that sense Croatia stands apart and is expected to set
an example for the others with its reforms because Europe and Great
Britain want to see South-East Europe far more prosperous and
stable than it is today," Picula told Croatian Radio on Friday
evening.
Hrvoje Vojkovic, president of the Croatian Privatisation Fund, who
accompanied Picula on the visit, said the visit was useful as it
helped present Croatia in a more favourable light as a country which
was safe for foreign investments.
During a meeting with his counterpart Jack Straw, Picula received
assurances Great Britain would consider the possibility of
revoking visa requirements for Croatian citizens.
