Said program will realise this year seven projects concerning the support for sectors in the EU accession process, promotion of democratic institutions, justice reform, reconstruction of the war-damaged institutions and infrastructure, and support for the sustainable economic and social development, with the aim of harmonising the development of all areas of the Republic of Croatia.
The Norwegian Government is continuously, through various forms of assistance, supporting the co-operation with Croatia, and this Memorandum is merely a result of that co-operation, as well as the excellent bilateral relations, said State Secretary Kuprešak.
Confirming the continuity of the successful co-operation between Norway and Croatia by signing the Memorandum, Ambassador Walaas said that the goal of Norway’s assistance program for Croatia is to support primarily Croatia’s efforts aimed at achieving full EU and NATO membership.
