Before President Kučan's visit to Paris

Ljubljana, 5 March - KUČAN/MITTERAND/FRANCE
"France belongs to those countries which no longer count Slovenia as a part of the former Yugoslavia, but rather recognise it as playing a wholly independent and constructive role in the efforts of European states towards halting the war against Bosnia-Herzegovina and towards a solution to the Balkan crisis," stated President of the Republic of Slovenia Milan Kučan in a conversation with STA before Monday's official visit to France.
