State Secretary for European Affairs Andreja Metelko-Zgombić 31 September 2018, on the margins of the Dubrovnik Forum, held political consultations with Estonian Deputy EU Affairs Minister Matti Maasikas.

Given that this is to be Croatia’s first chairmanship and Estonia’s recent successful experience in that role, the talks focused on the constitutive and practical aspects of preparation, the role of national institutions and diplomatic representations during chairmanship, cooperation with the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU, as well as constant communication and coordination of activities with the European Parliament.

The two officials also exchanged views on the upcoming talks on the 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. Both expressed willingness to include Croatia into the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
