A BRIEF LOOK INTO CROATIAN PRESS ON TUESDAY

ZAGREB, April 23 (Hina) - Today's issue of 'VJESNIK' is printed in large format and brings a larger variety of contents on its 20 pages. There is an extensive interview with Croatian President Franjo Tudjman, headlined "Tudjman: Without Reconciliation There Would Be No Croatia". "Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) Reps Walk Out Of Zagreb City Assembly Session" is the headline of a report on yesterday's Zagreb City Assembly session. In today's editorial, Branko Podgornik tackles the six-month- long Zagreb mayor crisis. After new local elections, which could take place this autumn, and the passing of some new laws, "there should be no more disputes over the election of the new Zagreb mayor, because the mayor would be appointed by the Croatian Government or the Administration Minister", Podgornik writes. A tense discussion and a tight result can be expected on Wednesday, when Croatia's admission into the Council of Europe will be discussed, Mirko Galic says in his commentary. Nenad Ivankovic writes about Germany's recognition of Belgrade. 'VECERNJI LIST' also publishes the interview with President Tudjman as well as a report on a Government press conference, headlined "With Better Roads Into New Tourist Season".
