ZAGREB, Dec 11 (Hina) - Since the very beginning of the
establishment of the independent Croatia, its relations with
Turkey have been developing and have been important not only for the
cooperation between the two countries in various fields but also
for solving the crisis in the former Yugoslavia, particularly in
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatian President Franjo Tudjman said on
Friday receiving credentials from the incoming Turkish Ambassador
to Croatia Selahattin Alpar.
The exchange of visits on the highest level greatly contributed to
such development of relations, Tudjman said and added he was
preparing himself for another visit to Turkey with great
expectations. The Croatian President expressed wish for not only
further development of bilateral relations but also for solving
current crises in Bosnia.
Turkey highly appreciates its friendship with Croatia, which
achieved its independence and territorial integrity under
President Tudjman's special guidance, Turkish Ambassador said.
Turkey considers Croatia the key factor for peace and stability
implementation at this strategic important area and appreciates
important role that Croatia holds in implementing the Dayton
Agreement, and signing of the special relations agreement between
Croatia and the Bosnian Federation, as well as an agreement on the
port of Ploce and Neum, are important steps towards that goal, Alpar
concluded.
