Croatia is a steady ally of the United States and I believe that it can play a constructive role in NATO, Dole wrote in a letter he sent on Wednesday to Congressman Elton Gallegly, the chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe and Emerging Threats in the House of Representatives.
Dole also backed Gallegly's draft resolution supporting Croatia's admission to NATO which the Congressman moved in Congress' lower house.
Gallegly's resolution on Croatia was unanimously adopted by the Committee on International Relations in November.
