Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic is scheduled to visit Serbia next Friday, the Jutarnji List daily reported on June 14, adding that Serbia was a country with which Croatia has the most open issues and unresolved problems, and the only neighbor the PM has not visited since the start of his term in office.
On June 23, the Day of the Croatian Community in Serbia, Plenkovic will attend the opening of the Croatian House in Subotica, the construction of which was financed by the Croatian government.
Although the Croatian PM is formally visiting Serbia on the invitation of the president of the Croatian National Council, Jasna Vojnic, and the president of the Democratic Alliance of the Croats in Vojvodina, Tomislav Zigmanov, who is also the Serbian minister for human and minority rights, the Zagreb daily pointed out that the central political event would be his meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic.
She visited in Zagreb at the end of April to attend a gathering of the Serb People’s Council. “The main topics will be similar to those Plenkovic and Brnabic discussed recently… Therefore, the issue of empowering the position of the minorities in both countries, cooperation in commerce, economy and transportation, and one of the topics will be Serbia’s European path,” a source in the Croatian government told Jutarnji List.
The source did not wish to elaborate on the particular topics of the discussion of Serbia’s EU accession, or if Plenkovic would meet with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
