ZAGREB, Dec 31 (Hina) - Croatian President Stipe Mesic on Sunday night wished all the best to all citizens of Croatia for the New Year 2001. Reading his message on national television, Mesic said Croatia must enter the third
millennium and the year 2001 with clearly defined ambitions -- to become a truly democratic and law-based state of equal citizens, notwithstanding their national, religious or political affiliation. Only such a Croatia has a chance of achieving its long-term strategic goal -- accession into Euro-Atlantic associations and the European Union. Let us enter the New Year and the new millennium with the wish for as less turbulent events as possible and for them to bring us peace, work and order to the benefit of Croatia and its every citizen. I wish you a happy New Year, Mesic said.(hina) lml
