"Our cooperation is very successful and very important for the
further strengthening of the security and stability in the region,"
Cosic told reporters after talks with Feher.
Both sides were ready for stronger connections and better
cooperation which we would discuss at a meeting in January next
year, Feher said.
The talks focused on a number of tasks regarding the upcoming
peace mission of the Stabilization Forces (SFOR) in Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
Cosic said that the talks also focused on a long-term
cooperation between the two countries in "interoperability with
NATO".
Cosic and Feher also discussed the possibilities of deploying
SFOR troops so that a small part of the troops would be in Bosnia-
Herzegovina and a significant part in Croatia and Hungary.
