Kostunica said that the upcoming meetings in Belgrade and Zagreb will boost the activities which are of high importance for the two countries and the region as a whole. He added that that will be an opportunity to discuss issues opened in the past, such as the problems of refugees and property, as well as issues that will lead the two countries into the future.
Sanader said that it is possible that a bilateral agreement on protection of minorities will be signed upon his visit to Belgrade, which would be a big step forward in bilateral relations.
