ZAGREB, 14 January (Hina) – President Zoran Milanović received France’s Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Yves Le Drian, during his official visit to Croatia on Thursday, the President’s Office said in a press release.

Bilateral relations between Croatia and France were described as excellent. The two officials  discussed the importance of cooperation within the European Union, notably in the context of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the continuation of the vaccination process.

The talks also focused on the implementation of the Dayton agreement which ended the 1992-1995 war in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina. Milanović highlighted the need to ensure full equality for the Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a constituent people.
