Immediately after its NATO membership, Croatia has emphasized that Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina should be members of NATO.
The position became public during the speech that Croatian Prime
Minister, Ivo Sanader, held at NATO Headquarters at the ceremony of
raising the flag of Albania and Croatia among the flags of the 26 other
member countries of NATO.
"Bosnia and Herzegovina also has the right to a future Atlantic. So does Kosovo which Croatia fully supports.., "Sanader said.
The Prime Minister of Albania, Sali Berisha, told AFP that "he absolutely agrees with Sanader" regarding the need for NATO enlargement in the Balkans. "An expansion of NATO in the Balkans is fundamental and very important for the stability of this region," said Berisha.
Also, the Secretary General of NATO, Scheffer, has expressed his desire to further expand NATO in the Balkans. "The Balkan region truly belongs the the united Europe while the process of expansion would have significant importance for the Southeastern Europe," was quoted the Secretary General of NATO, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.
