Borrell said this to Croatian reporters several hours ahead of the arrival of Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader in Strasbourg. During his two-day visit to the European Parliament, Sanader will hold talks with Borrell and the presidents of the two largest groups of deputies in the European Parliament - the European People's Party and the Socialists.
I personally support Croatia and I hope for a positive outcome, said Borrell, who is scheduled to meet the Croatian PM this evening.
European Parliament deputies also have a very positive opinion about the need to open Croatia's EU membership talks.
