Croatian
Government proclaimed that as a memory to all the victims of the terrorist
attack on the United States Friday September 14th will be a day of mourning in
Croatia. Prime Minister Racan expressed the utmost solidarity and sympathy with
the victims’ families and the American people as a whole. He said that the
whole world and therefore Croatia as well are facing the tragic consequences of
the attacks on the cities of New York and Washington D.C. We hope that our
civilization will be capable to cope with the evils of terrorism, Racan further
added.
He
reminded that Croatia is very familiar with the exposure to terrorism and
aggression, their consequences and victims. In the next days, months and years
it will be essential to recognize the most efficient way of fighting terrorism
as well as every form of violence. It is also of vital importance to recognize
and pinpoint the roots and motives for terrorism, Racan said. The Republic of
Croatia is ready to contribute in this fight together with the other European
countries.
