ZAGREB, Apr 12 (Hina) - The internal affairs ministers of Croatia
and Macedonia, Ivan Jarnjak and Tomislav Cokrevski, on Friday
signed an agreement on cooperation in the struggle against drug
smuggling, international terrorism and organised crime. #L#
"We also discussed cooperation on other levels, such as the
training and exchange of personnel and speeding up the exchange of
information," Jarnjak said.
The two ministers also discussed preparations for fighting a
pick-up in smuggling which is expected to occur as soon as the
Zagreb-Belgrade highway is reopened. Before the war in Croatia,
this highway was known as the "Balkan route" for shipping drugs
from the Middle East to Western Europe.
Minister Cokrevski voiced his hope that Minister Jarnjak and
his associates would soon visit Skopje.
