Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic has sent a letter to Pope Francis congratulating him on the election as the new pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, the government's public relations office said in a statement.
"Holy Father, it is my great honour to extend my best wishes to Your Holiness on the election as the 266th pontiff," he said wishing him a successful long and blessed pontificate, founded on peace, solidarity, human dignity, tolerance and support to the weakest and poorest.
I look forward to the successful cooperation with Your Holiness and further promotion of relations between Croatia and the Holy See.
