On the second day of the plenary session of the OSCE Ministerial Council, the delegation of the Republic of Serbia, headed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivan Mrkic, had numerous consultations, also as the OSCE future Chair.

Minister Mrkic had a separate meeting with the delegation of Croatia led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Vesna Pusic. Considering the circumstances created by the ICTY judgments and their aftermath, the meeting was good, focusing on those areas of cooperation in which the two countries see not only a common interest, but benefit, as well. Relevant procedures will be set in motion for the submission of joint projects concerning cross-border cooperation between Serbian and Croatian municipalities. They also agreed on the further common approach to European integration. In addition, talks dwelt upon the realization of future visits on the level of Ministers of Foreign Affairs, to be followed by meetings of the two Prime Ministers.

With regard to the segment of the talks related to the ICTY judgments, Vesna Pusic explained that Croatia was aware that crimes had been committed and that measures would be taken against their perpetrators.
