President Tudjman presented Mr Adamovich with an 'Order of
Prince Trpimir' medal.
'It is a privilege for me to be able to present you with this
medal with which I have decorated you for your contribution in the
development of relations between the Constitutional Courts of
Croatia and Austria and your special contribution in the
intensification of relations between our two states', President
Tudjman said.
Expressing the support of the Austrian government for Croatia,
Mr Adamovich said he has always been proud of his Croatian descent.
'Now that the largest part of Croatia is liberated and the
peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danubian area is under way,
Croatia needs friends such as Austria, because it understands that
Croatia belongs to central Europe', President Tudjman said in a
short conversation with Mr Adamovich.
Despite the Serbian aggression and the liberation war, Croatia
had built its constitution and laws at the highest European levels.
Their implementation had not been always easy due to the occupation
of a part of Croatia's territory, President Tudjman said.
Mr Adamovich expressed satisfaction with the work of the
Constitutional Court of the Republic of Croatia, which showed that
it is equal to other European constitutional courts. Austria would
always be Croatia's friend, Adamovich added.
Present at the meeting at President Tudjman's side were also
his Chief-Of-Staff, Ivo Sanader, advisor on foreign affairs Zeljko
Matic, advisor on internal affairs, Ivic Pasalic, Croatian
Ambassador to Vienna, Milan Ramljak, the head of the President's
Cabinet, Gordan Radin, President's aide-de-camp, Major General
Kresimir Kaspar and the head of the Department for Decorations and
Awards, Stjepan Adamic.
Mr Adamovich was accompanied by the President of the Croatian
Constitutional Court, Jadranko Crnic, Austrian Ambassador to
Croatia, Andreas Berlakovich, the Vice President of the Austrian
Constitutional Court, Karl Pisk, and vice presidents of the
Croatian Constitutional Court, Velimir Belajec and Zdravko
Bartovcak, the statement said.
