STOCKHOLM PARLIAMENTARY CONFERENCE SUCCESSFUL - PAVLETIC

( Editorial: --> 1050 ) STOCKHOLM/ZAGREB, June 14 (Hina) - The Conference of Presidents of European Parliamentary Assemblies which took place in Stockholm Friday and Saturday has been excellently organised and very successful, Croatian parliament speaker Vlatko Pavletic said upon returning to Zagreb Saturday. Many bilateral meetings have served as the basis for as many useful agreements, he told reporters. Pavletic was especially pleased at the fact that a Croatian proposal was accepted to have the refugee problem discussed as part of the security issue in the region at a Central European Initiative parliament presidents meeting this autumn. In her closing address, the Stockholm conference host Swedish Parliament President Birgitta Dahl said she believed that progress in future European cooperation would not be detrimental to the national identities of peoples taking part in it.
