李縣長接受克羅埃西亞媒體訪問

Commissioner Lee pointed out in an interview on April 2nd with three senior reporters from Croatia National Broadcast Company, Mr. Zeljko Valcis et al, that Kinmen was the frontline during the civil war between KMT and Chinese communists, and the tension aroused by the battle between both sides has allayed(1) as time went by. Cross straight relationship alleviating.(2) Mini-Three-Links is under way,(3) and the close neighbors, Kinmen and Xiamen, have become Kinmen-Xiamen life circle, regaining(4) a peaceful and friendly relationship.
　 李縣長四月二日接受克羅埃西亞國家廣播電視公司資深記者Mr.Zeljko Valcis一行三人專訪時指出，金門在國共內戰時位處戰地前線，砲火隨著歲月煙消雲散，兩岸關係和緩，小三通上路，近在咫尺的金廈兩門已然形成金廈生活圈，並恢復過去和平與友好關係。
Commissioner Lee pointed out that Kinmen used to be the anti-communism springboard. After the opening of policies between cross-straights, Kinmen has become the bridge of peace connecting China and Taiwan. A Predictable regain of past peace and prosperity can be expected as the situation develops, because both sides consider war as horrible and not a solution to solving problems. The only way an opportunity for peace is to come out of grieving.(5)
李縣長指出，金門過去是反共跳板，兩岸政策開放後，金門扮演大陸、台灣和平的橋樑，也可以說是和平走廊，未來隨著局勢發展，可預期將回復過往和平榮景，因兩岸體認戰爭是可怕，戰爭是無法解決問題，唯有走出悲情，和平才有希望。

The Croatian trio(6) came to Taiwan during March 27th to April 3rd to film a movie named "Taiwan experience." They were in Kinmen to shoot on-the-spot(7) and do some interviews on April 2nd. The shootings here will be used as a contrast to show how Kinmen has turned from an important military base into a tourist sightseeing spot and a critical part of the Mini-Three-Links. The film will be shown during their TV programs. Because of the high audience rating of the challenl on the Balkan Pneesula, the effectiveness of this story can be expected.
