The delegation relayed greetings from new SPD chief Kurt Beck and other party leaders.
The delegation thanked Mesic for consistently promoting in his public statements the vision of a united Europe, and underlined the need to accept and enforce European criteria and standards as well as shatter prejudices that united Europe is Croatia's enemy.
The delegation recalled the SPD's role in the opening of Croatia's path to Europe and that a group for parliamentary cooperation between Germany and Croatia was recently set up.
They also said their stay in Croatia gave them the impression that there is a significant difference in views of the younger generation and the political structures which are often slaves to schemes of the past.
Mesic agreed with the delegation's positions and informed them of Croatia's European integration and positions on current world affairs.
