President Mesic Meets With UN Representatives to Kosovo
Pacifying the situation in Kosovo and the entire region is
in the interest of Croatia, which has economic interests in
this area, Croatian President Stjepan Mesic said after a meeting
with representatives of the UN Mission to Kosovo in Zagreb Tuesday.
“We want a peaceful situation in the region which will allow
for better cooperation. This includes Kosovo where we want the
law-based state to function because we have economic interests
there. Our companies have property in Kosovo,” Mesic said. The
meeting was attended by representatives of Croatia’s oil company
INA, which, apart from having property in the Yugoslav province,
is interested in embarking upon new enterprises there. “Croatia
is a friendly nation which follows the development of events
which are difficult in Kosovo. Kosovo commends Croatia’s involvement,
especially in the economy sector,” UN Mission chief Michael
Steiner said after the meeting. Commenting on the talks, Steiner
said both Croatia’s and Kosovo’s mutual interests had been presented
– the wish for re-kindling of economic cooperation. He stressed
that the Croatian president had accepted his invitation to visit
Kosovo, which would help in additionally stimulate economic
cooperation.
