TOMAC: S-E EUROPEAN COUNTRIES SHARE CROATIA'S DISSATISFACTION WITH STABILITY PACT

ZAGREB, Sept 17 (Hina) - Most South-East European countries share Croatia's view that the Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe has not yielded the expected results, Deputy Parliament Speaker Zdravko Tomac, who is attending a two-day European Parliament conference in Brussels, told Hina on Monday. The Stability Pact was established so that developed West could help countries in transition draw as close as possible to Euro- Atlantic associations, and most South-East European countries believe there is too much talk and little action in the Stability Pact, Tomac said. The Brussels conference Tomac is attending at the head of a parliament delegation is focusing on the contribution of parliaments to stability in South-East Europe. The Stability Pact has not met Croatia's expectations and dissatisfaction with its implementation also prevailed in the addresses of other speakers whose countries are part of the Stability Pact, he said. Tomac will tomorrow meet Stability Pact special coordinator Bodo Hombach and the president of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Adrian Severin.
