Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic on Thursday arrived in Warsaw where he was welcomed by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, after which they started talks.

After the talks, Plenkovic will travel to the northeast of Poland, where he will visit members of the 4th Croatian Army contingent (HRVCON) stationed at Bemowo Piskie who are serving in NATO’s Enhanced Forward Presence mission there.

Plenkovic will be accompanied by Defence Minister Damir Krsticevic, the Croatian Army Deputy Commander, Brigadier General Boris Seric, and the State Secretary at the Foreign and European Affairs Ministry, Andreja Metelko-Zgombic.

The Croatian PM will then travel to Poznan, in the west of Poland, where a summit of the Berlin Process countries is taking place. The Berlin Process is a political and diplomatic initiative launched in 2014 with the aim of providing support to Southeast European countries in reform efforts on their journey to EU membership.

On the margins of the summit, Plenkovic is expected to meet with the Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Jose Angel Gurria, and attend a business meeting organised by the Croatian Chamber of Commerce.

Accompanying Plenkovic at the Poznan summit are Foreign and European Affairs Minister Marija Pejcinovic Buric and Economy Minister Darko Horvat.
