Vukelic announced that a treaty on social insurance, regulating the rights of Croatian and Turkish workers, would be signed later today in the presence of the two prime ministers.

The Turkish minister also said that he and Vukelic discussed participation a Croatian business delegation in a similar trade fair that takes place in Izmir in September.
