TIRANA, Jan. 18 – Croatia’s newly elected President Ivo Josipovic regards Albania and Kosovo as partners with whom Croatia has very good relations.
Josipovic said he was in favor of developing ties with Serbia, although Zagreb recognized Kosovo.
“I would like relations with Albania to be even better,” Josipovic said in an interview with the Albanian television station, Alsat. “We have friendship, common history and a common sea and we are geographically close,” the Croatian head of state added.
He expects excellent cooperation between Croatia and Albania.
He added that “We have many open issues with Serbia, while with Kosovo we have no unsolved issues. We will build specific relations with Serbia, but with Kosovo too.”
