ZAGREB, May 20 (Hina) - Croatian Deputy Foreign Minister Ivan Simonovic met in Zagreb on Monday with the Political Director of Luxembourg's Foreign Ministry, Jean Feyder, a Croatian Foreign Ministry statement said. During the hour-long talks, Simonovic informed his guest about the most important objectives of Croatian foreign policy, stressing firm support for the Bosnian Federation and its linking to Croatia. Feyder said that the European Union attached great importance to the implementation of the peace agreement in Bosnia-Herzegovina and the normalization of relations between countries in the region. Feyder emphasised the positive role and cooperativeness of Croatia in the process which had brought about a settlement to the crisis in the former Yugoslavia. The European Union did not want to impose a new form of regional association but wanted to help in restoration of economic, traffic and other ties important for the normal functioning of every country in the region, Feyder said. Feyder delivered a letter from Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jacques Poos to Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic in which he accepted an invitation to visit Croatia. (hina) vm jn 201628 MET may 96
