\u201cWe discussed above all the procurement of aircraft. This is a major thing for Croatia, both strategically and financially. But we also discussed events in the region, the world, Ukraine, Russia. These are all topics that France, as the current and clearly for a long time to come the only nuclear power in the European Union, a permanent member of the Security Council, views in a little broader way than we do,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 said after meeting with the President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron, who is on an official visit to the Republic of Croatia that commenced with a welcoming ceremony in the Office of the President of the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 described the talks as excellent and said the visit of the French President was an honour for Croatia. \u201cThis will be followed by strategic cooperation, on the basis of the agreement and the declaration that will be signed in the Government. In some respects this is a new beginning for Croatia. Of course, we will remain a Euro-Atlantic country, we have cooperated and we will cooperate with the USA, and this is in fact a major change that we are looking forward to,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expressing his gratitude for the cordial welcome and discussion, President Macron said: \u201cIt was a great pleasure and I am proud to be the first President of the French Republic to visit Croatia since its independence. It is not fair because this visit is a symbol of our friendship and shows how strong the ties between Croatia and France are. In 2013, Croatia became the 28th<\/sup> EU Member State. At that moment, the Croatian people decided to join our common project, fully aware that belonging to the EU is what contributes to peace and prosperity in a region where there have been conflicts and dramatic situations. The Croatian people were also aware of the fact that there is great solidarity among the Member States and we continue to follow this path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s official visit and signed partnership, President Macron stressed, will enhance bilateral ties in defense, thanks to the Rafale aircraft. \u201cOur two countries will continue to work on various topics of security, migration, research \u2013 these are all topics that pave Croatia\u2019s European path to Schengen and European integration. These are joint projects, which will also be projects of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU. That is what we talked about,\u201d said President Macron, emphasizing, inter alia, that \u201cour bilateral cooperation, which we will strengthen, is extremely important for the issue before us, and that is the Western Balkans, the issue of peace, which is a strategic matter for the EU.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know that this is important to you and that your ties with the Western Balkans will help us. This visit certainly marks a new chapter in our bilateral relations in the areas of culture, economy, defense, and a lot is still ahead of us. Thank you for the conversation and for all that lies ahead,\u201d the President of the French Republic concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to their meeting in the Office of the President, Presidents Milanovi\u0107 and Macron met with Croatian Air Force pilots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two Presidents delivered statements before journalists wearing an orange ribbon on the lapel of their suits, thereby highlighting the importance of International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, which is marked on the 25th<\/sup> of November. \u201cI am very glad that the French President has joined\u201d the observance of this date, said President Milanovi\u0107, who initiated the gesture.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
