Serbian President Boris Tadic will meet with the Prime Ministers of Slovenia and Croatia, Borut Pahor and Jandranka Kosor respectively, in the Slovenian town of Ptuj on Friday, Tanjug news agency learned at the Serbian president's cabinet.

The cabinet of Slovenia's prime minister was not able to tell Tanjug whether Tadic, Pahor and Kosor will have only bilateral talks, or a joint meeting as well.

It has been confirmed, however, that a joint press conference will be held after the talks.

As EMportal learned the three officials will discuss a conference on support to Southeast Europe, co-organised by Croatia and Slovenia and scheduled for March 20 at Brdo Pri Kranju in Slovenia.

The conference is called "Together for the European Union: the Contribution of the Western Balkans to the European Future".

They will also discuss ways of intensifying economic cooperation and share views on measures undertaken to come out of the economic crisis and to strengthen the economy.
