The declaration will be forwarded to NATO's Parliamentary Assembly which will hold its annual conference in Quebec on 13 and 14 November, two weeks before the NATO summit in Riga, Cosic told Hina from Tirana over the phone.
"The timing is very good and NATO's Parliamentary Assembly is expected to adopt the declaration which strengthens support for the US-Adriatic Charter countries on their road to full membership of NATO," he said.
Asked to comment on a statement by US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia, Daniel Fried, who said that Croatia was the only country that could count on NATO membership in 2008, Cosic said that this was in line with Croatia's individual and regional efforts, as well as with the individual approach to each candidate-country.
Participants in the Tirana conference discussed on Monday and Tuesday the historical importance of the US-Adriatic Charter, integrated border management, and the inclusion of the academic community into NATO projects.
The United States initiated the Charter in May 2003 in order to help Albania, Croatia and Macedonia - NATO aspirants that were left out of the first NATO enlargement round - to speed up preparations for NATO membership by cooperating in military and political reforms.
The Tirana conference also discussed the peace operation in Afghanistan, in which all three countries are participating, and the peace mission in Iraq, in which Macedonia and Albania are participating.
