OSCE: CROATIA COOPERATES CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH INT COMMUNITY

( Editorial: --> 9462 ) ZAGREB, March 13 (Hina) - The Mission of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Croatia on Friday welcomed the Croatian Government's announcement to annul the Law on Temporary Take-Over and Management of Certain Property and the Law on the Renting of Flats. Both laws contain regulations whose effects have a discriminating character, OSCE said in a statement. In the context of legal consultations with the international community, the Croatian Government informed the OSCE Mission on 10 March about the legal steps it intended to take in order to solve immediate consequences of the laws' annulment. On 11 March, the Mission advised the Croatian Government to postpone the adoption of an adequate decision, which was to happen on 12 March, so that space for a comprehensive discussion could be secured. The positive reaction of the Government to this proposal reaffirms the spirit of constructive cooperation between the Croatian Government and the international community, said the OSCE statement.
