( Editorial: --> 1730 ) OSIJEK, Nov 18 (Hina) - The Osijek-Baranja County Prefect, Anica Horvat, on Tuesday received the chief of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Croatia, Tim Guldimann, and associates. Speaking about the situation in the county, Horvat stressed that 43.6 percent of the county was still administered by the UN, adding that this aggravated the application of Croatian laws and regulations in the region. "We are doing everything to implement what the government agreed on, so the peaceful reintegration could be completed," Horvat said. Guldimann stressed that the OSCE mandate differed from the UNTAES mandate, adding that its primary goal was to reintegrate Croatia into the world. He recalled that Croatia was one of 55 member countries of the OSCE, adding that the members of the Organisation had come to ascertain how to provide concrete help in the process of reintegration.
