Extending his best wishes to the Croatian head of state and nation for their national holiday, President Sarkozy says that he is looking forward to the continuation of the development of the relations and cooperation between France and Croatia, notably with assistance of the forthcoming signing of strategic partnership.
Sarkozy also reaffirms France's full support to Croatia's European Union membership bid.
It is necessary to carry our some more important reforms. I am aware of how resolutely Your country is working on that and how much it is contributing to the improvement of the relations among countries in the Western Balkans and to their European Union aspirations, Sarkozy said in the message.
