Good morning, bonjour à tous.

Prime Minister Sanader, I would like to welcome you and your delegation, Defence Minister Roncevic, of course, your Ambassador to this meeting with the North Atlantic Council. Croatia is of course a NATO aspirant and as such a special partner of the Alliance . And we are fully aware of Croatia 's goals and ambitions. And we are constantly monitoring, as you know, the progress because we want you and the other aspirants to succeed as we stated at the Istanbul Summit in June 2004.

And I'm personally convinced the only long-term answer to the quest for stability in your region lies in its integration in the Euro-Atlantic institutions. And we are determined to see this happen.

You, of course, know, Prime Minister, that your success must be in the first instance of your own making. In this respect the news about the capture of General Gotovina has, of course, been received very positively in these headquarters as well. We welcome the progress Croatia has made and we expect this trend to continue.

As you know a NATO representative will soon be visiting Zagreb to further assess your performance. And I hope they will be able to confirm your constant and irreversible progress, especially in those areas which may of course concerned many allies in the past.

Monsieur le Premier ministre, permettez-moi d'indiquer une fois de plus que vous êtes un ami présent ici parmi d'autres amis. J'espère vraiment que votre pays deviendra un allié comme ces pays qui sont déjà dans l'Alliance. Cela demandera encore du travail. Cependant, nous sommes là pour vous aider.

Je voudrais, à présent, donner la parole à Monsieur le Premier ministre Sanader pour qu'il puisse faire quelques brèves observations. Je demanderais ensuite aux représentants de la presse de quitter la salle avant que le Premier ministre fasse son exposé introductif complet.

Prime Minister, it is with great pleasure I give you the forum.
