Kubis, who is on an official visit to Croatia, on Monday held talks with his Croatian counterpart Kolinday Grabar Kitarovic, Parliament Speaker Vladimir Seks and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader and stressed Slovakia's support to Croatia.
Bratislava will continue to strongly support Zagreb on its path to the Eu, Kubis said during the talks with Mesic. He also said the EU should not burden itself with unnecessary discussion about its ability to admit new members or about its borders.
In that context, Mesic underlined the conclusions from the EU summit held in Zagreb in 2000, under which, the EU doors would remain open for each country that met the required criteria.
The two officials also talked about the situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina. They agreed that Bosnia must be made capable of functioning as a unified country, which is in the interest of the entire region. Both Mesic and Kubic expressed scepticism about the idea of having the international community reduce its role in Bosnia in a such short period of time.
The Croatian head of state and the Slovak foreign minister also talked about a referendum on Serbia's new constitution, that was held this weekend and a possible outcome of the process of defining Kosovo's status, the statement said.
