(EU) and NATO assessed as good a European Commission decision to
open prospects for bilateral agreements on stabilisation and

included.
"To date, European countries which accessed and which were
candidates to access the EU had three degrees, and now a fourth one
is being introduced," Ambassador Janko Vraniczany-Dobrinovic told
Croatian Television's "Motrista" on Wednesday evening.
The first stage were bilateral agreements, i.e. preferential trade
agreements, he explained.
"Today we have been promised a special trade agreement, namely that
we would not automatically be successors to a former Yugoslav
agreement according to which both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia
have been conducting their relations with the EU to date," the
ambassador said.
Croatia will now get a separate agreement, which is a positive step,
he added.
"Of course, we will have to carefully consider that agreement and
see to improve some conditions which match our current economic
development and interests," Vraniczany-Dobrinovic said.
