This was the first meeting on the parliamentary level since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1993.
Today when your country is turned toward the Euro-Atlantic future, you have accomplished significant achievements in building the rule of law, democratisation, prosperity and solidarity among citizens, all of which guarantees peace and security in the region which Canada backs, Kinsella said.
Canada is going to help Croatia in efforts to build democracy, in its Euro-Atlantic ambitions and in strengthening a multiethnic community, said the Canadian official who arrived for a two-day visit to Croatia.
Croatia's Seks told reporters that today's meeting confirmed Canada's backing to Croatia in the process of Euro-Atlantic integration and further development of democracy.
He said that one of the topics of today's talks was the existing visa regime between Croatia and Canada.
Given that Croatians face some difficulties when applying for visas to enter Canada, we have discussed how we can get the two government start addressing this problem given that Croatia is assessed as a country with a high democracy score, Seks said.
On Monday Kinsella was received by President Stjepan Mesic and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader. On Tuesday he will visit the biggest Croatian Adriatic city of Split.
