The collocutors expressed satisfaction with the traditionally friendly bilateral relations between Croatia and Oman, as well as belief that this first official visit by the Croatian minister of foreign affairs and European integration would also contribute to their further overall enhancement. It was concurred that Croatia and Oman share a lot of interest, which can be capitalized upon though strengthening the economic cooperation, currently tied mostly to the oil and gas sectors, as well as the food industry. Therefore, other potentials were pointed out that can contribute to the enhancement of mutual relations.
The collocutors also discussed the possibilities of liberalizing the visa regime, where Minister Jandrokovic reiterated that he had already issued an order that all entrepreneurs visiting Croatia with the intent of business investment speedily be issued a visa at the Croatian diplomatic missions.
