Mesic:Croatia to Join Peace Mission in Kosovo
POZEGA - President Stjepan Mesic stated that it would not be good for Serbia to break relations with the countries that will recognise Kosovo as an independent country. If they do, the whole area of Serbia and Kosovo will pay consequences.
Croatia wants to join the EU, and the EU has rules and standards we want to accept. If the majority of these countries recognises Kosovo, Croatia will do the same, said Mesic.
Mesic said that probably European forces will enter Kosovo if they proclaim independence, and this means that Croatia will take part in the peacekeeping mission.
- Croatia has accepted help from other countries, military included, when we got involved in the brutal war. We asked for help and the world helped us. Now we are paying our debts by taking part in fifteen missions around the world. Croatia has to help not in order to make war, but to maintain peace. A lot of this will depend on how Kosovo will be organised, and what Status it will have – said President Mesic.
