Minister Kotromanović extended congratulations to the Serbian side on signing the Agreement with Kosovo and stated that the visit was an occasion to resume and intensify political dialogue and bilateral defence relations.
“The Republic of Croatia has been and remains open for intensified co-operation in that regard, and today’s meeting is opening the door towards enhanced and more diversified defence relations, which should be continued through future meetings at the decision-making level”, stated minister Kotromanović.
