PRIME MINISTER MATESA POSTPONES VISIT TO ROMANIA

( Editorial: --> 8493 ) ZAGREB, 30 Jan (Hina) - A Croatian delegation which was due to hold talks in Romania next week has been asked to postpone its official visit. Romanian Prime Minister Viktor Ciorbe had invited his Croatian counterpart Zlatko Matesa and a Croatian delegation to visit Bucharest on 3 February. But considering the newly formed situation in Romania where new ministers have to be appointed in the government, the Romanian side asked the Croatian delegation to postpone its visit, the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement on Friday. The new date of Prime Minister Matesa and the Croatian delegation's visit to Bucharest will be agreed upon soon. (Hina) lm mb 302215 MET jan 98
