Minister of Defence Branko Vukelic and Minister of Defence of Bosnia and Herzegovina Selmo Cikotic talked on cooperation

Minister Vukelic said that bilateral cooperation in defence field between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was good, and given its growing volume, he pointed out that he expected to soon sign the agreement on defence cooperation between the two countries. The agreement should replace the Memorandum of Understanding that the Croatian Ministry of Defence and BiH Ministry of Defence signed in 2006.

It would be a contribution to regional cooperation as well a concrete contribution to the ISAF mission precisely with those abilities that are most needed at the time – mentoring and training the Afghan National Army, Minister Vukelic and Cikotic concluded.
