Estonia is very interested in stability in south-east Europe and
Estonian parliamentarians wish Croatia progress and success, Savi
said. Croatia can count on Estonia's support on its path toward the
European Union, said the Estonian parliamentary president.
Two days ago, the Estonian parliament formed an Estonian-Croatian
friendship group, and the same will be done by the Croatian
parliament, Tomcic said. He invited Savi to pay an official visit to
Croatia, which the Estonian official gladly accepted.
The two delegations also discussed the situation in the region and
the two countries' struggle for independence.
The Croatian Sabor delegation today also held talks with
representatives of the Estonian parliamentary committees on
European affairs, foreign affairs, and national security.
The Estonian parliamentarians were interested in Croatia's stand
regarding the situation in the region in the light of the recent
events and changes in Yugoslavia. They supported Croatia's stand
that countries aspiring to join the EU should be assessed
individually.
