Minister Granic acquainted his guests with the steps the
Croatian Government had undertaken with a view to the peaceful
reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area. He referred to a
Croatian Government's Letter of Intent, a letter by UN Secretary-
General Kofi Annan and last week's UNSC Presidential Statement as a
"basis for the holding of local elections in the area and the
successful completion of the peaceful reintegration process."
Croatia was interested in developing good neighbourly
relations with SE Europe countries and the stability of the region,
Granic said, adding that Croatia's strategic goal was to join
Central-European and Euro-Atlantic political, economic and security
integrations.
The German Bundestag delegation described this orientation as
positive, stressing that both the German ruling party and the
opposition saw bilateral relations with Croatia as very good.
