Minister says Croatia looking for experts for pre-accession funds

CAKOVEC, May 7 (Hina) - Croatia must not allow the European Union pre-accession funds at its disposal to go to waste and is looking for about 200 young experts who will be able to draw those funds, Foreign and European Affairs Minister Vesna Pusic said at a panel on Croatia in the EU in Cakovec, northern Croatia on Monday.

Pusic said the situation from the start of this year, when EUR 40 million from the pre-accession funds went to waste, must not repeat itself, adding that those young experts, who would teach local self-government units how to absorb that money, were being sought in cooperation with the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds.

Pusic said Croatia should use the possibilities the future in Europe offered, adding that the northern region of Medjimurje would not have a problem with it, as it was quite prepared for Croatia's European future, and that it would profit from the entry onto the common European market.

After the panel, Pusic took part in a meeting on the demarcation of the Slovenian-Croatian border in Medjimurje County. Responding to questions from the press, she said Croatia had no outstanding border issues with Slovenia, as both countries had agreed to carry out the decisions to be made in international arbitration.

Croatia is scanning the state of affairs and preparing filings, including on border demarcation on the Mura river, which have to be submitted by February 2013, said Pusic.

After that, until the end of the year, there will be time to respond to Slovenia's filings, and the arbitral tribunal is expected to hand down a decision in 2014, she said, adding that this was a good example of how to solve outstanding issues bilaterally.
