European Union, but that its citizens, like those in other transition
countries, were sensitive to the many ongoing reforms.
"I am confident that you will pursue a wise and decisive policy to
promote European values, as well as develop Slovakia's economic,
social and natural resources", Mesic said in the message.
Mesic also underlined the geographical and historical closeness
between the two countries, and voiced confidence that both countries
had a future in the united Europe.
At the end of the message, Mesic invited President Gasparovic to visit
Croatia.
