ENGLISH LANGUAGE LABORATORY OPENED AT CRO MILITARY ACADEMY

ZAGREB, June 27 (Hina) - A modern language laboratory for English was opened within the foreign language school at the Croatian military academy of 'Petar Zrinski', on Friday, by the Croatian army chief-of- staff, General Pavao Miljavac, and U.S. Ambassador to Croatia, Peter Galbraith. The U.S. Congress has financially helped the installation of the laboratory via the International Military English Training (IMET) and within the international programme for military exchange and training. Gen. Miljavac stressed good cooperation between the U.S. and Croatian armed forces, and thanked for help of the U.S. Congress, which he appreciated very much because of importance of officers' training. Ambassador Galbraith expressed satisfaction with achievements in military relations between the two countries, and added that Croatia had perhaps accomplished more than other transition countries, in transformation of an army of the Communist style in an army of democratic style.
