ZAGREB, May 23 (Hina) - Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader on
Tuesday held talks with a delegation of the German Social Democratic Party's
(SPD) club of deputies in the Bundestag on Croatia's road to EU and NATO
membership and received their support for Croatia's swift accession to the
European Union, the Croatian government said in a press release.
Sanader said during the talks that European integration and development of
Croatian-German relations were an above-party issue and that it was very good
that the main political forces in the two countries cooperated as much as
possible.
The SPD club's spokesman for the European policy, Axel Schaefer, said
Croatia was part of the fifth EU enlargement round which began in 2004 and that
the SPD, as a partner in the German coalition government, supported Croatia's
swift accession to the EU.
