CROATIAN PRESIDENT OFFERS CONDOLENCES TO ISRAELI COUNTERPART

ZAGREB, March 4 (Hina) - Croatian President Franjo Tudjman on Monday sent a letter of condolence to his Israeli counterpart Ezer Weizman. "Deeply shaken by the latest terrorist attack in Jerusalem which claimed nineteen lives, I would like to express the deepest sympathy on behalf of the Croatian people and on my own behalf. "In this moment of grief for you and the whole Israeli people, the Croatian people express their solidarity in the struggle against terrorism which is gaining momentum throughout the world in attempts to achieve impermissible political goals by inhumane means. "I am confident that the Israeli people, despite this grave assault, will remain committed to the peace process and faith in peace," the letter said. (hina) vm 041522 MET mar 96
