A major figure of Croatia and the Balkans has disappeared. We have to hope that the elections that will now take place in Croatia ... will help Croatia in the direction of a democratic country.
Despite the many difficulties that lie ahead, the elections mark progress towards a transition to a democratic, free and peaceful Iraq.
Regarding relations with the European Union, all the declarations of the election campaign have been positive.
The elections must be well-organized, which will create conditions for moving forward.
What the European Union has decided is that the place where this has to be resolved is in the Security Council.
We have to do the utmost to maintain this relationship.

We are very close. The behavior of the Serbs' party in the conference in Paris has been really appalling,
We are trying to see how we can help to scale down the violence, and the situation of tension, and therefore to return to what is a dream of everybody, to try to negotiate a permanent peace.
We are trying to provide the necessary resources we hope that we will have enough money to support the Palestinian Authority until a new government is formed.
