Minister Jandroković hosted ministerial meeting between Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro

Apart from Minister Jandroković, Bosnian Foreign Minister Sven Alkalaj, and Montenegrin Foreign Minister Milan Roćen, the meeting also saw the participation of representatives of the tri-state area towns and municipalities, the Dubrovačko-neretvanska County, and international organisations.

The meeting is a continuation of the existing tri-border area co-operation and reflects the need for a more efficient co-operation among the region’s countries in joint activities in cases of natural disaster, transport linkage, joint natural resources management, and other activities of joint interest of the local border-area communities.

At the end of the meeting, the tri-state region and local authorities’ representatives signed the Memorandum on Founding the Regional Commission for the Management Natural and Other Disasters, a legal framework for the co-operation among the tri-state local communities.

Minister Jandroković said that regional cross-border co-operation is an important factor in enhancing the good-neighbourly relations. It is essential for stability, security, economic growth, and good-neighbourly relations, as well as for strengthening tolerance and mutual understanding in the region.

Minister Jandroković added that the Croatian Government will continue to support regional cross-border development projects as an important contribution to ensuring a general social progress and sustainable economic growth.

In light of the signed Memorandum, Minister Jandroković said that the subjects of the co-operation are border-area municipalities and towns. The results of their work and activities will reflect their actual joint needs and interests, which will guarantee a successful and efficient realisation of joint projects.
