In a meeting with Montenegrin Prime Minister @MickeySpajic, I reiterated Croatia’s support for Montenegro’s European path, while emphasizing the need to address issues related to fundamental European values under Chapter 23, as well as outstanding issues concerning good-neighborly relations under Chapter 31. We welcome the decisions taken by the Government of Montenegro to rename the swimming pool in Kotor and ensure permanent protection for the memorial plaque in Morinj. We expect further progress in addressing the other identified issues in order to create the necessary conditions for the conclusion of Montenegro’s EU accession negotiations.

From Croatia to the world — a story woven in silk and tradition. Every 18 October, we celebrate Cravat Day, paying tribute to Croatia’s lasting contribution to global fashion and the enduring elegance of the cravat. A small detail with a remarkable history. 🇭🇷👔

U Drvaru smo prisustvovali svečanosti posvećenja Župne crkve sv. Josipa, koju je predvodio banjolučki biskup mons. Željko Majić. Izgradnja crkve i pastoralnog centra pridonosi očuvanju identiteta, vjere i tradicije hrvatskog naroda u Bosni i Hercegovini. ✅@VladaRH je financijski podržala ovo ulaganje, a projekt smo proglasili i strateški važnim za Hrvate izvan RH jer je hrvatska zajednica ovdje desetljećima bila bez vlastite crkve. Posebno nam je drago da se crkva posvećuje u godini u kojoj Župa obilježava 120. obljetnicu osnutka i 30. obljetnicu obnove crkvenog života. ❗️Nastavljamo podržavati projekte od interesa hrvatskog naroda u BiH i biti snažan zagovaratelj europskog puta 🇧🇦.

🇭🇷 For Croatia, women, peace, and security is not an abstract policy agenda. We know that peace and security cannot be achieved without women's full, equal, and meaningful participation. @SebastianRogac at #UNGA81 @CroatiaUN

U Banskim dvorima sastao sam se s predsjednikom Nacionalne skupštine Republike Koreje Choom Jeong-sikom. Razgovarali smo o mogućnostima daljnjeg povećanja 🇭🇷🇰🇷 trgovinske razmjene, poticanja korejskih ulaganja u Hrvatsku te suradnje u energetici, zelenim tehnologijama i prometnoj infrastrukturi. Naša obrambena suradnja dodatno se razvija potpisivanjem Memoranduma o razumijevanju između ministarstava obrane te ugovorom s korejskom tvrtkom Hanwha Aerospace o nabavi raketnog topničkog sustava K239 Chunmoo i projektila CTM-X. Osvrnuli smo se i na aktualna međunarodna sigurnosna pitanja, osobito nastavak sveobuhvatne potpore #Ukraine te suradnju europskih i indo-pacifičkih partnera u očuvanju mira, sigurnosti i poretka utemeljenog na međunarodnom pravu. 🔗shorturl.at/jqy3Q

Croatia’s 2026 #MED9 Presidency focuses on a safer, more sustainable and more resilient Mediterranean. Its priorities connect regional stability and energy security with environmental protection, water resilience and demographic renewal. The Pact for the Mediterranean links these efforts. The Summit in Split on 7 October will bring this shared agenda to the level of Heads of State or Government.

Auf die bayerisch-kroatische Freundschaft und für ein stabiles und starkes Europa! Danke für den herzlichen Empfang in Zagreb bei Kroatiens Premierminister @AndrejPlenkovic. Bayern versteht sich in Deutschland traditionell als Anwalt und Brückenkopf von Südosteuropa. Wir sind mit #Kroatien seit Jahrzehnten eng verbunden. Diese Partnerschaft bauen wir weiter aus, insbesondere bei Hightech, Landwirtschaft und Energie. Bei Energieleitungen soll Bayern auch aus Richtung Süden gut angeschlossen werden. Das Ziel ist eine Verbindung von Kroatien durch Österreich nach Bayern für zwei Stoffe: jetzt Gas und in Zukunft Wasserstoff. Die EU muss dabei schneller planen. Der Süden Deutschlands ist das wirtschaftliche Leistungsherz und braucht eine möglichst sichere und breit aufgestellte Versorgung. Kroatien ist zudem einer der wichtigsten Partner Bayerns in der Europäischen Union. Beim Thema Auto wollen wir gemeinsam für die Zukunft des Hightech-Verbrenners werben. Danke für die jahrzehntelange Partnerschaft und den regelmäßigen Austausch mit Premierminister Andrej Plenković! Es ist jedes Mal eine große Freude. Wir schätzen uns politisch und persönlich. Heute mit dabei in Kroatien: Landwirtschaftsministerin Michaela Kaniber, Europaminister Dr. Florian Herrmann und die Fraktionsvorsitzenden Klaus Holetschek und Florian Streibl. PS: Danke auch für die tolle Leistung aller Kroaten in Bayern. Sie sind ein starker Teil unseres Landes!
