Mr President, Mr President-in-Office of the Council, ladies and gentlemen, Croatia's application for membership represents a further step towards the stabilisation of this region. Just in the last few minutes we have received bad news from Serbia. A state of emergency was declared there a few minutes ago following the assassination of Prime Minister Djindjic. I would be interested to know if you intend to convene an emergency meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council, given that this development really does give us great cause for concern.
