MEETING OF PRESIDENTIAL DEFENCE AND NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL

ZAGREB, Dec 20 (Hina) - The Presidential Council for Defence and National Security held a meeting on Monday under the chairmanship of President Franjo Tudjman, said the Presidential Office in a statement. The meeting commended the Government for the preparation and implementation of the economic stabilization programme, which registered positive results in bringing down the inflation to less than one percent this month as well as in the increase of personal incomes to an average DM 300. The Council asked the Government to work out a denationalization programme in keeping with positive experiences from other European countries. The Council strongly condemned the crime committed over Croatian workers in Algeria and warned about a danger of Moslem fundamentalism and its proponents even among Bosnian Moslems. In this context, the Council empowered relevant ministries to take necessary measures, and suggested that Croatian authorities continue supporting those Moslems in favour of cooperation and settlement of the crisis in the region. 202131 MET dec 93
