Nato confirmed it would on Thursday issue formal invitations to Balkan neighbours Croatia and Albania to join the alliance after postponing an invitation to Macedonia because of Greek opposition. A Nato official said the invitations had been confirmed and that the step would be formalised later on Thursday when Croatian and Albanian leaders attended a special session with their Nato counterparts. Albania's prime minister told Reuters on Wednesday Nato would guarantee freedoms for Albania but said a delay in inviting Macedonia could encourage radicals and fuel instability in the Balkans. Greece has vetoed Macedonia's entry until the former Yugoslav republic resolves a row over the use of the name Macedonia, shared with the most northerly Greek province. (Reuters) |
