Wessel honours Croatia's heroes

Kosovo's Parliament Speaker during his visit to Croatia has laid wreaths of flowers near the memorial of Croatian heroes fallen in the last war.

On this occasion Wessel said the two peoples have gone through challenges, but at the same time have clear prospects of Western orientation towards Euro-Atlantic integration.

Wessel said after the visits that the people of Kosovo and the Croatian people have sacrificed much for freedom, and now share common values with Western pro-Western people.

I honoured the sacrifice of the Croatian people today for freedom, just as we remember the sacrifice of our people. They are common sacrifices to a journey we have had for freedom. As two peoples we have gone through challenges, but at the same time we have clear prospects of Western orientation towards Euro-Atlantic integration, values that unite us with the Croatian people”, Veselin said.

Wessel has also paid tribute to the tomb of former Croatian President Franjo Tudjman.
