ZAGREB, Nov 6 (Hina) - "I am satisfied with what the Croatian
government has done in the past two years," Croatian Prime Minister
Zlatko Matesa said on Thursday.
"Everything the government has done can be seen by looking at the
reconstruction of the aggression-ravaged area, the improvement of
the road infrastructure, the obtained credit rating of Croatia
etc.," Matesa said.
Asked about next year's budget, Matesa said that the budgetary
deficit in 1996 was lower than planned, and would be the same in
1997.
"The budgetary policy for 1998 will follow the path which makes
Croatia an orderly European country," Matesa said.
Speaking about the future tasks of the government, Matesa placed
the pension plan rehabilitation to the forefront as a precondition
for a secure life of future generations, further work on the road
infrastructure, the reorganisation of Croatian tourism, Croatia's
accession into European integrations, and stronger connections,
especially with the CEFTA.
Stressing that the peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danubian
area was a fait accompli for the Croatian government, Matesa said
that future tasks include further reconstruction, and after the
return of Croatian people, a stronger stimulation of the region's
economy. He also stressed that the Croatian government was drawing
up stimulation plans to attract state-of-the-art technology into
Croatia.
The government would submit a report on its work during their past
two years under Matesa at a special session on Friday. Croatian
President Franjo Tudjman is to preside the session.
