Prime Minister Andrej Plenković and Foreign and European Affairs Minister Gordan Grlić Radman met on Friday at the National and University Library with the ambassadors of EU member states to Croatia.
They discussed the Croatian Presidency in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and economic recovery.
Grlić Radman announced that a summit would be held on the Eastern Partnership as part of the Croatian Presidency in the second half of June, a little more than a month after the EU-Western Balkans Zagreb Summit, which he said had "put the topic of EU enlargement back on the agenda".
"The summit on the Eastern Partnership will be held in the same way the Zagreb Summit was held, in its full format," the minister said.
The Eastern Partnership countries are Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia and Moldova.
The EU has allocated EUR 960 million to help those countries fight COVID-19 and alleviate the economic and social consequences of the crisis.
