Washington - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton reiterated US support for Croatia's entry into the European Union and NATO during a meeting with her Croatian counterpart in Washington on Thursday.
'We think that Croatia has an important role to play in the region, and therefore we hope that they will be on the road to EU membership sooner instead of later,' Clinton said during a meeting with Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Jandrokovic.
'Obviously, we dont have a vote in the EU, but we have made it clear to a number of our counterparts how valuable we think it will be when Croatia is a member,' she said.
