My thanks go out to all those who have already made contributions, and I hope that still more contributions will follow on the basis of the revised cost estimations. In the technical domain, election support measures can also be linked to development assistance projects. It is, however, urgently necessary that a definitive cost estimate be made and that the Secretary General present clear and precise financing proposals. There is no doubt that all of our members will be called upon to make additional sacrifices. The re-establishment of peace in Bosnia is not the only single requirement for stabilizing the region.
Additional measures are necessary.
In this connection, I welcome the planned deployment of an OSCE Mission in Croatia. In my opinion, one of the conditions for the reintegration of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia into the OSCE and other organizations, is the presence of very concrete signals towards a solution to this issue. It is also my belief that the Mission in Skopje continues to make a valuable contribution to stability in the Balkan region. The OSCE especially welcomes all further initiatives aimed at the building of good-neighborly relations and regional cooperation. Ladies and Gentlemen, I made up my mind to personally visit the different regions in which the OSCE is present.
