WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush will make stops in the Ukraine and Croatia next month during his trip to Romania to attend the NATO summit where Afghanistan and expansion of the alliance will top the agenda.
"NATO's ongoing transformation and enlargement has been a historic success in bolstering the alliance, promoting peace and security, and advancing freedom and democracy in central and eastern Europe," White House press secretary Dana Perino said.
The president and first lady Laura Bush's visit to the three countries will "underscore the importance of fostering a Europe whole, free and at peace," Perino said.
