Prime Minister Andrej Plenković spoke today following a meeting of the ruling coalition, which focused on current political developments.

Special attention was given to last week’s visit by OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann, as Croatia continues its efforts to join the organisation later this year.

“I believe we will meet the remaining criteria and create the conditions for membership in this important global organisation for economic cooperation and development, confirming our status among the 40 most advanced economies in the world,” Plenković said.
