Talks with the Croatian Prime Minister, Andrei Plenkovic, who is on an official visit to Cyprus, will be held this morning at the Presidential Palace by the President of the Republic, Nicos Anastasiades. This is the first official visit of a Croatian Prime Minister to Cyprus.
As the Director of the Press Office of the President of the Republic, Andreas Joseph, said in a written statement, the talks are expected to reaffirm the excellent level of bilateral relations between the two countries.
Anastasiades and Plenković will also have the opportunity to discuss issues of European interest, developments in Ukraine, EU energy security, migration and will exchange views on regional issues of common interest, including developments in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region and the Western Balkans.
The President of the Republic will also provide an update on the current situation on the Cyprus issue, the initiatives he has taken to resume the talks and the intransigent positions of Turkey.
The talks will be preceded by an official reception ceremony for the Croatian Prime Minister at the Presidential Palace. This will be followed by a private meeting between the President and the Croatian Prime Minister and extended consultations. Subsequently, Mr Plenkovic will also meet with the Speaker of the Parliament.
Last night, President Anastasiades hosted a dinner in honour of the Croatian Prime Minister.
