Mending fences with Croatia also goes a long way toward assuring international investors that Serbia is no longer a pariah state. Tudjman gains another feather in his cap as father of his country." Tudjman said afterward: "We agreed on normalization of all issues and all open problems." That may mean some progress was made toward resolving border disputes between the two nations, as well as the future of Eastern Slavonia...
