POLLE SATISFIED WITH COOPERATION BETWEEN CROATIA & SFOR

( Editorial: --> 9449 ) ZAGREB, Sept 10 (Hina) - Cooperation between Croatia and the Stabilisation Force (SFOR) is still very good, an SFOR representative said in Zagreb on Thursday. SFOR was especially satisfied with the cooperation of Croatian authorities at all levels during its operation in Rijeka, the commander of the NATO-SFOR Zagreb Communications Zone, Fritz Polle, said. For more than two weeks since August 23, the port of Rijeka hosted a roll on-roll off ship containing about 45 helicopters and 300 containers with various equipment for the US First Cavalry Division, which replaced SFOR's First Armoured Division from the United States in Tuzla (north-eastern Bosnia). Major General Polle today held a meeting in Zagreb with the head of the Office for Cooperation with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Tomislav Vidosevic. The Croatian armed forces have again shown a maximum level of organisation and SFOR is very satisfied with everything that had been going on in Rijeka in the past month, Vidosevic said.
