ZAGREB, Sept 17 (Hina) - Croatian Parliament president Vlatko
Pavletic on Tuesday received the newly-appointed German
ambassador to Croatia, Volker Haak.
Speaking of the importance of the recently signed
agreement on the normalization of relations between Croatia
and Yugoslavia, Pavletic said that it was only a framework
within which special issues would be solved in the course of
time.
Pavletic stressed that the normalization agreement would
help resolve a priority political issue, the peaceful
reintegration of Serb-held eastern Croatia.
He reiterated the government's view that the issue of
Serb autonomy in Croatia "was taken off the agenda" and that
the Serb community could enjoy all minority rights envisaged
by Croatian legislation.
The lower house of the Croatian parliament was meeting on
Wednesday to discuss a bill granting amnesty to Serb rebels,
the normalization agreement with Yugoslavia, and the lifting
of sanactions against Yugoslavia, Pavletic said
Haak said that he agreed with the estimate of President
Franjo Tudjman that the importance of the normalization of
Croatian-Serbian relations could be compared to the
significance of the post-World War Two normalization of
German-French relations for entire Europe.
Haak empahsized German support for the peaceful
reintegration of the Danube river area and said that Germany
had provided a loan of DM 5 million for the development of
medium-size and small enterprises.
