ZAGREB, May 22 (Hina) - The Croatian parliament's vice president
and chairman of the House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs
Committee, Zdravko Tomac, on Monday discussed Euro-Atlantic
integration with Estonia's Foreign Minister Toomas Hendrik Ilves.
According to a statement from parliament's Public Relations
Service, Tomac said Croatia and Estonia wanted to become modern
states which Europe would welcome in its integration processes.
Talks like today's are necessary to become better acquainted and to
strengthen international cooperation, Tomac said. Our countries'
fates do not depend on us alone but on some which in international
politics trade with "small" states, he asserted.
Tomac believes Central European countries should organise a
meeting to agree on joint activities which will prevent them from
ever again being hostages to global political trends. Estonia's
Foreign Minister Ilves agreed.
Tomac said he respected Estonia for being Europe's first state to
start the struggle against Soviet hegemonism, for its freedom and
independence which, he added, heralded a new era.
