ZAGREB, Croatia - President Bush says he "strongly supports" Croatian membership in NATO, but has declined to say if the former Yugoslav country will be invited to join the alliance at a summit next week.
In an interview to Branka Slavica of Croatian TV broadcast Thursday, Bush said the decision will be made by all NATO members.
Bush has said that Croatia is in a "very good position" to be invited to join. Membership in NATO and European Union are among the country's priorities.
Bush spoke in Washington before his trip next week to Ukraine, a NATO summit in Romania and Croatia.
In comments focusing on the Balkans, the president also said that recognizing Kosovo's independence was "best" for the troubled region and expressed hopes that Serbia will in the end help its former province to succeed.
Bush said he supported supervised independence for Kosovo "because I think it's best for the region and I think it's most likely to lead to peace."
"My hope is that the Serbian government will see that the Serbs in Kosovo are treated with respect, that their rights as a minority are respected and that it will eventually help Kosovo succeed as opposed to trying to hinder their success," Bush said.

Then when they become as a majority over a province they declare independence or gorilla war or plain war against the Christian country that feeds them and impose their own laws and false religion. That is what they did recently in Kosovo. Muslims from Albania emigrated in the Serbian province called Kosovo.When they became as a majority they refused to pay taxes.The young men started a gorilla war against the Serb locals.ButWhen the Yugoslavian army went to make order muslims were crying fault.
