Good relations between Croatia and Serbia are crucial for the future of western Balkans and even the European Union, Croatian President Stjepan Mesic and Serbian President Boris Tadic said in Sofia on Saturday. Mesic and Tadic spoke on the margins of an energy summit in Sofia and their meeting lasted for more than an hour. After the meeting, the two presidents spoke jointly to reporters for the first time since Croatia recognised Kosovo’s independence. - We (Croatia and Serbia) are countries on which cooperation in the entire region depends – Mesic said, adding that “it is necessary to create an atmosphere of cooperation also for the better standard of our citizens” and “eliminate anything that could lead to a dispute”. The issues that we still have not resolved should not be an obstacle to cooperation between Croatia and Serbia, he said. - The European Union is a millennium endeavour and we must do everything to take part in it and that our countries enter the EU, so that it is all the same to a Croatian or a Serbian which side of the border they live on – Mesic said. - We have some open and difficult issues that we have not yet solved and some of them have to be resolved in a civilised manner, by court process – Boris Tadic said. Other issues, he continued, will be resolved through dialogue and agreement, “because that is in the interest of our citizens, but also Europe’s interests in the western Balkans”. The Serbian president endorsed Croatia’s accession into the EU as soon as possible, stressing that that was also in Serbia’s interest. He added that Serbia expected Croatia’s support in its drawing closer to Euro-Atlantic associations. A large part of the talks between the two presidents focused on economy and they agreed that Croatia’s and Serbia’s economies should cooperate. They also stressed the need for a joint exit to third markets, since great progress can be achieved in that area. Mesic said that Serbia made some “brilliant moves in the current global financial crisis. Tadic hailed the recent visit of Croatia’s Prime Minister Ivo Sanader to Belgrade. According to unofficial announcements, the Serbian president could visit Zagreb in June or July. According to sources close to the Croatian delegation in Sofia, the two presidents did not discuss Croatia’s lawsuit against Serbia for genocide. www.javno.com/en-croatia/zagreb-belgrade-relations-are-crucial-for-region_253695

Croatia is now in an excellent position to be Serbia's benevolent big brother.
Offering a hand when the kids beat up on the brother at school, helping with school lunch money... getting cigarettes before he is old enough.

And any idiot can say the opposite, Croatia trying to display it's self as a god neighbour to get EU membersip [just like they do when they exagerrate Krajina Serb returnee figures]. Well given what kind of a scumbag Mesic is and how much he lies to please his benevolent overlords suiting the situation he must know very well how to get some fat germans to do this --

Yes, were so sucking up so much that Jeremic is desbised for sucking up so much that he said "If the EU does not change it's attitude towards Serbia we will look to Russia." ^ Name 1 Croat official who has sucked up like that? Anyways your retarded claim is just you trying to get it on so that you can continue

Of course the economies should co-operate. You always have to be nice to your neighnours. Not cause wars just because you live there. Perhaps the Serbs have finally learnt their lesson. Economic co-operation - YES...anything else, there is no reason for it.

^ Skoric, we know what he's talking about.
Anyways may be he should tell this to Croatia's Social Democratic Party, after all aren't they the ones who caused a scandal when during the last parliamentary electiosn they sang "Yugoslavia Yugoslavia" at the end of their campaign.

Well the Slovenians are a different kettle of fish all together. We can co-operate with them re trade but they just want something that is not theirs and don't want it to go to the vote cause they know they have no basis for it and will loose! Sounds very familiar right?
About the film industry comment, it's not my speciality. Where is there a list of what is filmed and what not is...and where? I wouldn't have a clue about that.

Until 2007, Serbs were basically blocked from investing in Croatia. [Something Slovenia still does, but they're scum they come to Serbia talk how bad Croat investors would be to buy companies and land extremely below market price but when Serbs try to invest there above market price it gets blocked by their retarded laws.] Until a few years ago Serbian music was discouraged from Croat tv. It isn't so much as banned as discouraged.

It isn't so much as banned as discouraged. Okay, we're just talking about media right? I don't understand (and think that Anthologic misundertood whoever he heard it from) why Croatia would block Serbian production companies from making movies in Croatia.. I don't think that's true.. seems bizarre like I said.. cause it means more money for Croatia with no cultural consequences. But if I understand what you are saying right, I do understand why Croatia would block the distribution of media content from Serbia. It has to do with preservation of their culture. I'm sure they have some sort of commission which regulates how much airplay each Croatian station must have of Croatian produced movies/music.. just like here in Canada. While Canadian stations would be better off airing American media, the CRTC has quotas of Canadian content that MUST be aired on Canadian stations. Usually stations go for the minimum, so they can maximize their profits with American media (I mean, would you rather watch Canadian or American produced shows?).. But yeah, media has a huge effect on culture.. I can't really tell you the difference between myself and an average American besides my accent, and perhaps I might be a little more liberal than the average American.. but even that I think is fading. So you could see why Canada would want to preserve our identity and why Croatia would want to do the same.. and perhaps that's their reason for blocking Serbian content.. and I would completely agree with it if they are worried about a fading identity. So while it may seem that Croatia is just being a bully, it seems that there could be other legitimate reasons for blocking Serbian music from entering their media.
