Serbia, Turkey say ties better than ever

26 October 2009 / AP, BELGRADE
Serbia and Turkey say their ties are better than ever now as they both face hurdles to their goals of joining the European Union.

Turkish President Abdullah Gül and Serbia's President Boris Tadic said Monday in Belgrade that their two countries have developed a "strategic partnership."

Gül says Turkey wants to invest in Serbia's infrastructure, such as highways.

Tadic says Serbia and Turkey support each other's stalled EU integration.

Serbia must arrest war crimes fugitives to move forward in joining the EU, while Turkey has faced criticism for its human rights record.

Ties between Belgrade and Ankara were strained during the 1990s Serb-Muslim conflict in Bosnia.
