NEW YORK, Sept 7 (Hina) - Croatia needs, urges and counts on the assistance of the international community in overcoming the consequences of the war, Croatian President Stipe Mesic said at a plenary session of Millennium summit on Thursday.#L# As the seventh speaker on the second day of the Summit's working meeting, Mesic said that all countries must support the United Nations and endeavour to make this global organisation, through common efforts, the most relevant and efficient factor in the present-day. "I have in mind a regenerated and - in every respect - revitalised United Nations capable of responding to the challenges of the new century and providing the much needed framework for efforts focused on strengthening security, and on the achievement of progress and prosperity for all", said Mesic. He added Croatia was determined in joining European economic and security integration, exercising economic transformation, and strengthening of the institutions of civil society and democracy. "Firmly committed to such foreign policy goals, we also expect their equally firm and encouraging support in this endeavour. We are still faced with the challenges of issues such as Prevlaka and succession to the former SFR of Yugoslavia, which ought to be dealt with in accordance with the principle of inviolability of internationally recognised borders, international law and equality", the Croatian President said. Prevlaka is a peninsula on the border between Croatia and Yugoslavia (Montenegro), toward which Yugoslavia has territorial pretensions. Since the withdrawal of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), the area has been under U.N. military observers' control, which is the cause of considerable discontent among the local residents, who have been unable to use their property for years now. Yugoslavia, on the other hand, is ignoring the fact that the borders of the former Yugoslav republics are internationally recognised and is stalling the signing of an agreement on borders. In Mesic's opinion, the United Nations should change but to maintain the preservation and affirmation of basic principles of freedom, equality, and fundamental rights of states, peoples and, primarily, of individuals. "Let us harness our forces and endure in our efforts to curb the arms race, which is wasteful and lethal in every respect. Let us conclude new treaties, and reinforce our support of existing treaties covering this field, particularly with regard to mine control, and control of small-bore weapon production and trade", the Croatian President stressed. He asked the countries to espouse the positive achievements and promises of globalisation, and attenuate its negative implications by favouring economic relations which would provide for the general emergence of poor countries from their predicament. Mesic believes that the reforming of financial institutions is necessary. He also advocated a joined environmental protection. Speaking of peace and the protection of rights of every human being, President Mesic said in conclusion: "Human life is a supreme value, and this is why we have the right and the obligation to stand up in its protection, wherever and by whomever it may be jeopardised, through our common global organisation.
