ZAGREB, July 14 (Hina) - Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic on Wednesday received the representatives of the European Union (EU) Troika accredited in Zagreb, the ambassadors of Finland and Portugal, and the European Commission's special envoy to Croatia.#L# According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Finnish Ambassador Osmo Lipponen presented Granic with Finland's work programme as the country presiding the EU. Liponnen pointed to the interest of intensifying as much as possible cooperation with the Croatian government, to the effect of strengthening dialogue and raising relations to a higher quality level, the statement said. The Finnish ambassador also pointed to the importance of an informal meeting the EU Troika and a Croatian government delegation are to hold in Brussels on July 20. The Croatian delegation will be headed by Granic and Croatian Minister for European Integration, Ljerka Mintas-Hodak. Minister Granic reiterated the Croatian government was strongly committed to approach European and Transatlantic integration as soon as possible, to which, he said, stronger political dialogue with the EU should particularly contribute. During today's talks, Croatia's foreign minister reminded of the numerous steps forward Croatia had made, both in relations with neighbours and in the implementation of the refugee return process, as in expectations of a successful outcome of negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties regarding new electoral legislation. Croatia is making the steps forward in view of further developing democracy and creating good neighbourly relations, Minister Granic said, pointing out these steps meet EU criteria. Croatia hopes a positive evaluation of its efforts will lead to a formal commencement of negotiations with the EU this autumn regarding a stabilisation and association agreement, the foreign minister said. Both Granic and the representatives of the EU Troika, which besides Finland's Lipponen includes Ana Barta, Ambassador of Portugal, the country next to preside the EU, and Per Vinther, European Commission special envoy to Croatia, accentuated the importance of the Stability Pact for Southeast Europe. They also welcomed Croatia's active and constructive role in the making of the pact. Granic stressed Croatia was firmly committed to pursue its role in bringing the pact to life. (hina) ha jn
