Suker was in Washington at the helm of Croatia's delegation that attended the spring meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund over the last weekend.
According to a press release issued by the Croatian Embassy in Washington, Suker informed the senator of the implementation of economic and political reforms in Croatia, and asked him to support Zagreb's efforts to achieve its main objectives on the foreign political front, including Croatia's admission to NATO.
Santorum, Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, said Croatia had its place in the Euro-Atlantic integration processes and that he would support processes aimed at the strengthening of reforms and further stabilisation of south-eastern Europe.
Suker told him that Croatia had done much in fulfilling criteria for membership in the European Union and NATO and that it insisted on being assessed according to its own achievements.
