In that regard, he pointed out that Croatia had evolved from a recipient into a development aid provider, a progress that has been followed by the UNDP programs as well.

Welcoming the continuation of the launched programs by 2013, he expressed satisfaction that the UNDP had provided the means for opening the Center of Excellence in Croatia, where Croatian experts could share their experiences concerning Croatia’s negotiation process with the other countries in the region.

The meeting also discussed the final phase of Croatia’s negotiations, with the collocutors agreeing that the European perspective for all the countries of South Eastern Europe was crucial for its stability.
