CRO GOVT STARTS SESSION UNDER PRESIDENT TUDJMAN'S CHAIRMANSHIP

ZAGREB, 7 Nov (Hina) - The Croatian Government on Thursday started a session on the results of Government activities in the past year and its tasks in the coming period. Greeting the present at the session, President Franjo Tudjman, who is chairing the session, congratulated Premier Zlatko Matesa and other members of the Government on their achievements in the past year. 'All achievements of the Government are not sufficiently present either in the Croatian public or abroad and we have to make them more present despite all those who are denying those achievements', Tudjman said. 'In the past year, there was complete agreement between Premier Matesa and me, and we were in no disagreement over any important issue', Tudjman said, adding the Government was completely independent in its actions. 'This is a capable government which has adopted all positive achievements of former governments. You have had better conditions, but you have also shown your capability. Do continue to implement the state policy which is based on the program of the Croatian Democratic Union and which is in the interest of the establishment of the Croatian state as a welfare state', Tudjman told the Government members.
