    Zagreb, 15 June 2020 - Minister Grlić Radman talks with Israeli counterpart Ashkenazi

    Minister of Foreign and European Affairs Gordan Grlić Radman on Monday talked over the phone with Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi.
    The two ministers underscored satisfaction with the upward trend in bilateral cooperation, including the areas of security and defence. They also discussed cooperation in tourism, which will depend on the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic, confirming readiness to establish direct flight routes as soon as the epidemiological situation allows.  
    Ashkenazi expressed sympathy for the citizens of Zagreb in wake of the earthquake and underlined his friendship with Croatia, which he knows personally and will gladly visit again.
