"Croatia is investing outstanding efforts in building the
infrastructure, it's investing not only in road-building but also
in the modernisation of railways and in providing Croatia with gas
supply and Internet access," the PM said at a meeting in Porec with
members of the parliamentary tourism committee and representatives
of Istria's biggest tourist companies.
Racan said the government also endorsed the "Brijuni Riviera"
project.
While in the seaside resort of Porec, he visited the Bishops
Ordinariate where he held talks with Msgr. Ivan Milovan, the bishop
of the Porec-Pula diocese.
Also today, the PM visited the Labinprogres agricultural machines
factory in Labin where he set to work a new line of redesigned
motocultivators.
Responding to reporters' questions, the PM confirmed a decision
would soon be formalised on a coalition his Social Democrats would
form in Istria with the Istrian Democratic Assembly for the
upcoming parliamentary election.
Racan said he and President Stjepan Mesic signed a document with a
plan for the work of secret services in the coming year, in which
priority was given to reducing the danger posed by terrorism and
combating organised crime and corruption.
