Speaking for Croatian Television, Plenkovic said in Munich the aircraft Croatia had recently tried to buy was also western in technology and that Croatia used the opportunity at the conference to talk with representatives of Lockheed Martin and Saab.
He said they "are still interested, and in the weeks and months ahead we will see, based on our experience, how to embark on a new process which would make sure that, within a reasonable period of time, Croatia achieves what we want, which is to modernise our air force."
About ten days ago, after a purchase of Israeli F-16 fighter jets recently failed, Croatian Defence Minister Damir Krsticevic said he still maintained that Croatia needed multipurpose fighter jets and that which aircraft was chosen would be decided after an analysis of the failed attempt.
