ZAGREB, Jan 6 (Hina) - The US Ambassador to Croatia, William
Montgomery, told "Voice of America" that Croatia should decide for
itself when it wanted to become a member of the Partnership for
Peace programme and other western associations.
Once Croatia decides that the time has come for its membership in
those associations, it will meet conditions required from all
members, Montgomery said.
Montgomery said he wanted Croatia to become part of those
associations as soon as possible, adding that his country might
have exhibited too much agility as regarded that topic, which many
people had understood as pressure.
Croatia should be allowed to determine on its own the pace in
meeting the criteria for its membership in western associations,
Montgomery said.
