Mesic presented his platform stressing Croatia's commitment to the
anti-terrorist coalition was clear and unambiguous and that the
goal of the struggle against terrorism must not be revenge but
prevention of new terrorist acts.
Not one action by the coalition must be contrary to the United
Nations Charter, the Croatian president said, adding the coalition
must not serve as a cover for the discrimination of any one people or
faith.
In the 18 articles of his platform, Mesic emphasised the anti-
terrorist struggle included the detection, incapacitation and
annihilation of potential sources of the creation of mass
destruction weapons, as well as measures against countries
actively helping or harbouring terrorists.
The countries in the anti-terrorist coalition should also have the
obligation to cooperate in intelligence and the extradition of
terrorists, Mesic maintains.
At the end of the lecture, the Croatian president wished his
platform would step up activities aimed at the defining and
profiling of the anti-terrorist coalition.
If he succeeds, Mesic said he would feel he had done something
useful as the head of a state that had been among the first to call on
the creation of an anti-terrorist coalition.
