The head of the OSCE delegation, Ambassador Mario Sica said
that the meeting focused on ways the OSCE could help Croatia in
resolving certain problems.
"The problems concern partly the overall situation in the
Balkans as well as certain issues that trouble the OSCE," Sica
said, adding that OSCE had been founded in order to encourage the
respect of human rights, rights of minorities and overall peace
and security in Europe.
The reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area was the key
to the problem, the head of the Croatian delegation and head of
the Defence Ministry political administration, General Ivan Tolj
said.
The OSCE delegation is to visit Knin on Thursday and Osijek
and occupied areas in eastern Slavonia the next day.
