"Svi za stolom su odavali jasan utisak da je Hrvatska ostvarila veliki napredak," rekao je glasnogovornik Alijanse James Appathurai, kako navodi AP, nakon sastanaka hrvatskog premijera Ive Sanadera s generalnim sekretarom NATO-a Jaapom de Hoop Schefferom i sa Sjevernoatlantskim vijećem, osnovnim tijelom za odlučivanje ovog 26-članog pakta.
"There was a clear sense from everyone around the table that Croatia has made great progress," the AP quoted Alliance spokesman James Appathurai as saying, following Croatian Prime Minister Ivo Sanader's meetings with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer and the North Atlantic Council, the 26-nation Pact's principal decision-making body.
