ZAGREB, Jan 4 (Hina) - From Germany's presiding over the European
Union in 1999, Croatia expects a continuation and boosting of an
intensified and open dialogue with the European Union, which should
result in Croatia's accession into the PHARE programme, Croatian
Deputy Foreign Minister Ivo Sanader told Croatian Television
Monday evening.
"Judging by the announcements of the German Government, its
presiding over the EU will be characterised by reforms of the
European Union, primarily reforms of 'Agenda 2000'", Sanader
said.
"It is well known that Germany is the biggest net payer to the EU and
will not be satisfied with this status. This will surely have direct
consequences on the policy of expanding the EU," Sanader stressed.
