South-East Europe's Task Force for economic revival, development,

east of Europe, head of the Croatian delegation attending the

"The European dimension on which the morning session focused is a
confirmation to the assessment that the Stability Pact was
primarily intended to stabilise the region, with the goal of
including south-east of European countries into the European Union
and Euro-Atlantic structures," Drobnjak said.
It was clearly stated that the accession of certain countries would
be carried out on an individual basis when every country-candidate
fulfils qualifications, he said.
Drobnjak added that the Croatian delegation was satisfied with the
work of the task force so far. During the meeting Croatia asked for
support in its accession into the World Trade Organisation.
Croatia also stressed its readiness to begin talks with Brussels as
soon as possible regarding the SAA (Stabilisation and Association
Agreement).
This new form of contractual relationship was offered by the
European Commission to countries of the so-called regional
approach in May in order to draw closer to them the perspective for
full membership in EU structures.
