It is crucial to achieve a lasting, just and sustainable peace; Croatia will not send soldiers to Ukrainian territory
Prime Minister Andrej Plenković described today's meeting in Paris as important because many countries, each in their own way, have expressed their willingness to participate in the Coalition of the Willing. Some, he explained, will participate with forces that would be on the ground in Ukraine if a ceasefire were to occur and an agreement were reached, while other countries, such as Croatia, which will not send its soldiers to Ukrainian territory, will continue to provide political, diplomatic and military support to that country. He also considers it crucial to reach an agreement that would enable a lasting, just and sustainable peace.

As a guarantor of Dayton Agreement, Croatia will not waver in commitment to stability, equality and European path of BiH
Prime Minister Andrej Plenković participated today in the international conference "30 years after Dayton: leading the way with local solutions". On that occasion, he emphasized that Croatia, as a guarantor of the Dayton Agreement and as a member of the European Union and NATO, will not give up its commitment to stability, equality and the European path of Bosnia and Herzegovina. "Our only interest is the same one that we defended in the 1990s. A stable, functional and prosperous neighboring country in which Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats, like all other citizens, enjoy equal rights and equal dignity and where no one feels like a second-class citizen in their own country", he said. It is crucial to implement the Constitution in a way that strengthens, not undermines, trust between the three constituent peoples and to avoid practices that deviate from the spirit of the agreement or create unnecessary and harmful misunderstandings.
