ZAGREB, Nov 18 (Hina) - Croatian Culture Minister Bozo Biskupic on
Thursday in Zagreb held talks with the head of the Council of Europe
Department for cultural policy, Vera Boltho, regarding Croatia's
participation in the Council of Europe projects.
The two officials confirmed the favourable assessment of a project
of evaluation of Croatia's cultural policy, which was presented in
Strasbourg last year. The project is being used as a model for other
countries, which are drawing up projects of evaluation of their own
cultural policy.
Biskupic said Croatia was interested in continuing its cooperation
with the Council of Europe, stressing the readiness of Croatian
experts to join in the programmes of technical assistance to other
member-countries. This especially refers to the field of
legislation because Croatia is one of the first countries in
transition to have almost completed the modernisation of their
legislation in all sectors of culture, Biskupic said.
Boltho expressed satisfaction with the cooperation between the
Council of Europe and the Croatian Culture Ministry, non-
government organisations, and other experts who participated in
the work of Council of Europe bodies.
