ZAGREB, Nov 14 (Hina) - Croatian President Stjepan Mesic met Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek in Prague on Tuesday on the second day of his official visit to the Czech Republic.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Mesic said that the Czech Republic could assist Croatia on its path to membership of the European Union, particularly in 2009 when it assumes the rotating EU presidency.

"The Czech Republic had successful membership talks with the EU and its experience is very important to us because it has managed to protect its national interests," the Croatian president said.

"Today the Czech Republic gives us advice on what to do, and when it takes over the EU presidency it will assess what we have done, how we have implemented the reforms and how we have adopted EU regulations and implemented them into Croatian practice," he added.

The Czech Republic is due to take over the six-month EU presidency in 2009, at a time when Croatia is expected to complete its accession talks and when the European constitutional crisis is expected to be resolved.

Topolanek said that Czech-Croatian relations were "beyond all ordinary standards" and that there were no outstanding issues between the two countries.

"We reiterated Czech support for Croatia's admission to the European Union and NATO and spoke about further cooperation in developing economic ties, particularly about Czech investments in Croatia," Topolanek said.

After the meeting, Mesic was scheduled to travel to Karlovy Vary for talks with local officials.
