Presenting a platform for the future activity of an anti-terrorist coalition at the American University in Blagoevgrad [western Bulgaria] on Thursday [4 October], Croatian President Stipe Mesic said smaller countries like Croatia could find a place in it too. Mesic presented his platform stressing Croatia`s commitment to the anti-terrorist coalition was clear and unambiguous and that the goal of the struggle against terrorism must not be revenge but prevention of new terrorist acts. Not one action by the coalition must be contrary to the United Nations Charter, the Croatian president said, adding the coalition must not serve as a cover for the discrimination of any one people or faith. In the 18 articles of his platform, Mesic emphasized the anti-terrorist struggle included the detection, incapacitation and annihilation of potential sources of the creation of mass destruction weapons, as well as measures against countries actively helping or harbouring terrorists. The countries in the anti-terrorist coalition should also have the obligation to cooperate in intelligence and the extradition of terrorists, Mesic maintains. At the end of the lecture, the Croatian president wished his platform would step up activities aimed at the defining and profiling of the anti-terrorist coalition. If he succeeds, Mesic said he would feel he had done something useful as the head of a state that had been among the first to call on the creation of an anti-terrorist coalition.
