Minister Jandroković thanked the American Jewish Committee for its support in attaining the foreign-policy goals of the Republic of Croatia, particularly in deepening bilateral relations with the United States and Israel.

Analysing Croatian-Israeli relations Minister Jandroković found them excellent, as supported by very dynamic bilateral top-level meetings, particularly in the last several months.

He familiarised representatives of the American Jewish Committee with the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia about the return of the property confiscated during the Communist regime, and the intention of the Ministry of Justice to implement this decision in the Croatian judiciary system.

They also spoke about the Middle East peace process, situation in Southeast Europe and pending elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
