TIRANA (Albanian Times)) -- Presidents of Macedonia and Albania said on Monday that their countries will strive to fulfill their obligations to get invited into NATO, news reaching here from Skopje reported.
""It is not enough for a country to have a wish to join NATO, it should do its homework in the remaining time between now and the Bucharest summit next spring,"" Macedonian President Branko Crvenkovski said after his meeting with his Albanian counterpart Bamir Topi.
Albania, Macedonia and Croatia signed the Adriatic Charter with the United States in 2003 in order to facilitate their entry into NATO, which has said the three countries are all hopeful, with Croatia clearly leading the pack.
On the issue of Serbia's southern province of Kosovo, Crvenkovski said the UN Security Council should define the province's status, otherwise his country will follow the European Union's decision on the issue.
But Topi said that Albania will support UN envoy Martti Ahtisaari's plan which grants internationally supervised independence to the Serbia's southern breakaway province. (TehranTimes)
