The resolution, which was adopted unanimously, had been sponsored
by senators Joe Liebermann, John McCain and Joseph Biden.
Biden said that the resolution gave credit to the two countries for
providing equal support to the United States like new NATO members,
and supported their bids to join NATO and the European Union.
The Senate calls on the governments in the region to continue
encouraging and facilitating the process of reconciliation and
stresses the importance of resolving post-conflict issues, such as
enabling the return of refugees and displaced people to their homes
and bringing war crimes suspects to justice through cooperation
with the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
