The meeting with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay discussed Croatia's participation in the UN Human Rights Council, with Pusić expressing strong support for Pillay's office and announcing Croatia's plan to again launch an initiative to adopt a resolution on conscientious objection within the Council.

At her meeting with UN Geneva Office general-director Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Pusić acknowledged the work of the UN Office in Geneva, as well as the contribution of Croatia’s Permanent Mission. Also underlined was Croatia's engagement in the area of multilateral disarmament through the Informal Group of Observer States to the Conference on Disarmament.

During her meeting with Tunisian Human Rights Minister Samir Dilou, Pusić congratulated the Tunisian official on the implemented elections, inviting him to attend a forthcoming Croatia Summit. The two ministers reaffirmed the traditionally good and friendly relations between the two countries as well as their plan to establish closer cooperation in the transfer of experience in post-conflict transition.

At the meeting with UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres, Pusić thanked him for support to the regional programme for sustainable solutions for refugees and internally displaced people, in which Croatia is actively participating. They also discussed preparations for a forthcoming donor conference in Sarajevo and ways to mobilise potential donors, and agreed that the cooperation between the UNHCR and Croatia in preventing cases of stateless persons would continue. Pusić said Croatia would step up activities aimed at expanding cooperation in asylum and migration matters and in the transfer of positive experiences gained in the context of the regional process and the regional refugee situation.
