GENEVA, March 21 (Hina) - The new Croatian authorities are good news for Israel and the two countries can now intensively develop bilateral relations, Israeli Justice Minister Yossy Beilin said in Geneva on Tuesday. Croatian foreign
Minister Tonino Picula held talks Tuesday with Bailin about relations between the two countries. Bailin expressed hope the relations between Croatia and Israel would be promoted intensively so the past ten years could be compensated. He said he had been a great opponent of any relations between the two counties because he felt former President Franjo Tudjman had tried to deny the holocaust. The two ministers also spoke about the opening of the Israeli embassy in Zagreb, and Beilin accepted Picula's invitation to visit Croatia.(hina) lml jn
