The Peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area was
"a complex process with positive and encouraging elements,"
Gaillard said after the meeting behind closed doors.
The peace process was being carried out well and there was
progress in preparing the citizens in the area for the peaceful
reintegration, Gaillard said, adding that the help of the
international community was crucial.
Stressing that there was progress as regards the peace
process, but there were also some difficulties, Vrkic said that he
had asked Gaillard to, personally and through his government,
influence the establishment of more frequent and concrete contacts
between the two sides, so that the peaceful reintegration be
completed within a year.
