GRANIC: CEI MEMBER-STATES SUPPORT STABILITY PACT

PRAGUE, Nov 5 (Hina) - Central European Initiative (CEI) member- countries support the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe, the process of calming down the situation in Kosovo and democratisation of Montenegro and Serbia, said Croatia's Foreign Minister Mate Granic on Friday in Prague. A two-day summit of CEI member-states' premiers commenced in the Czech capital on Friday with an informal meeting of foreign ministers. Premier Zlatko Matesa and Foreign Minister Mate Granic are representing Croatia at this gathering. All countries have given full support to the Stability Pact and expressed the wish that the Pact be efficient and has enough money, Granic told Croatian reporters after the informal meeting. He added that the Pact's mechanisms were just now developing. The CEI summit is attaching special attention to the relations between this Initiative and the Stability Pact, models of cooperation between these two regional initiatives so that there would be no overlapping but that they can supplement each other. The Prague meeting ends on Saturday when participants should adopt a final document at a plenary session. (hina) ms
