Mr. Chairman,
We would like to complete the announcement made last week on the formation of the Government in Croatia and on the appointment of one of the representatives of Independent Democratic Serbian Party (SDSS), as one of the four Deputy Prime Ministers.
Mr. Slobodan Uzelac will be in charge of the coordination of regional development, reconstruction and return issues, as well as of the other elements foreseen by the coalition agreement between the Prime Minister's party (HDZ) and the SDSS.
Yesterday evening was distributed the Spot Report of the Office in Zagreb on this issue, so there is no need to elaborate this issue further.
The Government's composition with all the names and functions will be given in the distribution with the text of this Information.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
