Tadic, Josipovic to meet today for the first time

Serbia and Croatia may be on their way to warming up ties as Serbian President Boris Tadic is set to meet today, for the first time, with his Croatian counterpart, Ivo Josipovic, in the Croatian seaside resort of Opatija.

The meeting is supposed to be informal and focused on bilateral ties between the two countries.

Tadic is scheduled to arrive on the Croatian island of Krk in the northern Adriatic Sea where Josipovic will welcome him and the two will head to Opatija by boat. The meeting is reportedly expected to last for three hours but its agenda remains unknown.

The two presidents are also set to meet in Brussels on Saturday at a conference on US-EU relations; Tadic and Josipovic are scheduled to take part in the discussion on the Balkans in 2010.
