Mesic is on a two-day visit to Poland where on Thursday he will
participate, at Kwasniewski's invitation, in the 13th annual
Economic Forum, to focus on European Union enlargement.
In a brief statement to the media, the Polish head of state said
there would be room for Romania in the next EU enlargement wave, and
that the steps Croatia and Macedonia were taking testified to
Europe's open door policy being a good one.
"We will all find ourselves inside the same structure," said
Kwasniewski.
Today's meeting between Mesic, Kwasniewski, Trajkovski, and
Iliescu, which Ukraine's Leonid Kucma was also to attend, focused
on the issue of Iraq, where today Polish troops began a control and
stabilisation mission.
Earlier today Mesic briefly met representatives of the Pliva-
Krakow company, the third largest in Croatia's Pliva Group and one
of the leading drugs companies in Poland.
