At the opening ceremony, Ambassador Koren said: “Israeli water technologies are being used worldwide and a good example of them being used in Croatia is in Istria, which has been using it for 25 years already. Its long lasting performance ensures optimal cost effectiveness of our technologies. Technologies such as drip irrigation, technologies against pipe bursting, technologies for stopping water leakages in the water distribution systems, waste water treatment technologies, special filters and valves for all kind of water pressures etc. can certainly be implemented in other parts of Croatia as well.’’
