"I am on a visit to the four peace-keeping operations of the
United Nations in this part of the world - I was yesterday visiting
the United Nations Observer's Mission in Prevlaka (the southernmost
Croatian peninsula, bordering with Montenegro) and I am finishing my
visit with the visit to Zagreb. I was very pleased to have the
opportunity to meet with the Foreign Minister and exchange views
with him on our mutual cooperation," in the Danube area and
Prevlaka, Annabi said.
Speaking about the most recent report of the UN Secretary-
General Kofi Annan, Annabi said the report provided a detailed
account of the progress that has been made, but also an account of
other steps that need to be taken to successfully complete the
process.
"I hope that we will continue to work together in a
constructive, cooperative spirit to complete it in a satisfactory
and successful manner," Annabi said.
