ZAGREB, Oct 7 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic met
representatives of the Croatian Fulbright Society on Saturday.
The Society's president Esad Prohic said this was the second time
they were being received by the President, which was a sign that
"the winds of change are blowing for the Fulbright Society in
Croatia."
We are honoured, because I still have not told the Premier that the
President of the State has received us on two occasions," Prohic
said, adding this was a sign that the purpose of the Society, to
establish cooperation between the United States and Croatia in
science, culture and art, made sense and had a future in Croatia.
The Fulbright Society gathers all former users of Fulbright
Foundation scholarships. One of the first agreements to be signed
by Croatia as an independent state in 1990 was an agreement on the
continuation of the Fulbright programme, Prohic said.
Considering the size of our country, we can be proud that 200
Croatians were awarded Fulbright scholarships, Prohic said.
