Although the Croatian and Slovenian heads of states also received invitations before their countries joined NATO's Partnership for Peace (PfP) programme several years ago, McElhaney told SE Times that the BiH delegation's visit was not intended to imply any particular message.
Iako su i predsednici Hrvatske i Slovenije takođe dobili pozive pre nego što su njihove zemlje ušle u Partnerstvo za mir (PzM) pre nekoliko godina, Mekelejni je rekao dopisniku SE Times-a da poseta delegacije BiH nije imala za cilj da prenese neku posebnu poruku.
