PRESIDENT MESIC, MINISTER PICULA HOLD BILATERAL MEETINGS IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic and Foreign Minister Tonino Picula, who are on a visit to the United States, described their first day in New York, which had a busy schedule, as very successful. Mesic said on Saturday evening his half-an-hour talks with US President George Bush were the most important event of the day for Croatia's delegation. Although they talked mostly about a global anti-terrorist coalition and Croatia's possible participation in it, President Bush also confirmed the USA would continue its presence and engagement in South-East Europe and continue to be the biggest foreign investor in Croatia, as well as that it supported Zagreb's efforts to meet the standards required for admission to the European Union and NATO.

NEW YORK, Nov 11 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic and Foreign Minister Tonino Picula, who are on a visit to the United States, described their first day in New York, which had a busy schedule, as very successful. Mesic said on Saturday evening his half-an-hour talks with US President George Bush were the most important event of the day for Croatia's delegation. Although they talked mostly about a global anti-terrorist coalition and Croatia's possible participation in it, President Bush also confirmed the USA would continue its presence and engagement in South-East Europe and continue to be the biggest foreign investor in Croatia, as well as that it supported Zagreb's efforts to meet the standards required for admission to the European Union and NATO. During an official lunch, organised for the heads of state and government participating in the 56th annual session of the UN General Assembly by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Mesic extended an invitation to President Bush to visit Croatia. During the lunch, the Croatian president was sharing the same table with Secretary-General Annan, President Bush, Mexican President Vincente Fox, Pakistani President Perwaz Musharraf and several other high guests. Mesic extended the same invitation to President Musharraf. President Mesic and Albanian President Rexhep Meidani confirmed during a meeting their countries were interested in continuing and improving cooperation in all areas, and expressed hope the upcoming Kosovo election would be another step towards regulating the province's status and relations within Yugoslavia. Yesterday's meeting with Bosnian Prime Minister Zlatko Lagumdzija was part of efforts to facilitate the conclusion of several agreements. The two sides agreed that the Croatian-Bosnian cooperation council should meet by the end of the year. Foreign Minister Tonino Picula met his Algerian counterpart Abdelaziz Belhadem. The two sides expressed a wish to renew the business cooperation between Croatian and Algerian companies. Croatia expects the current Algerian government to solve the issue of compensation to the families of 13 workers of the Zagreb-based Hidroelektra company, killed by Islamic extremists at a construction site in Algiers eight years ago. Picula hopes the site of their murder will be properly marked. Picula also held a meeting with Austria's Foreign Minister Benita Ferrero Waldner as part of regular consultations with Croatia's neighbour-countries. Mesic and Picula held a brief meeting with Slovene President Milan Kucan and Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel. During the meeting, the two sides confirmed a high Slovene delegation would visit Zagreb on December 5. Croatia's delegation, headed by President Mesic, yesterday visited the site of the World Trade Center buildings, destroyed in the September 11 terrorist attack. The Croatian president handed the New York city authorities the Grand Charter of the Republic of Croatia as an expression of solidarity and sympathy of the Croatian people with the victims of the terrorist attack.
