ZAGREB, April 12 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister Ivica Racan and special coordinator for the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe Bodo Hombach on Wednesday held talks on projects which will be realised in Croatia as a part of the Stability Pact. Funds for the implementation of the projects have been approved at a donor's conference held in Brussels recently. "We discussed projects adopted at the donor's conference for which we both agreed they need to be carry out as soon and as good as possible as well as future projects which could be interesting for the Stability pact", Primer Racan said after the talks. Hombach said that the talks with Racan tackled the return of displaced persons, the policy of creating jobs and projects important for the Croatian Tourism. According to Hombach, both parties agreed that at the moment there was no need for new conferences and the realisation of agreed projects must start now. Hombach stressed that the Croatian Government prepared well all projects handed in at the donor's conference, adding that the Croatian Government was a good and genuine partner for the stabilisation of the entire region.
