"The trip has been thoroughly prepared, but has been cancelled at the last moment for technical reasons," ministry official Pero Bilusic said without elaborating.
The minister was going to visit Croatian troops serving in the UN peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan ahead of the Christmas and New Year holidays. She was also scheduled to meet Afghan government ministers and representatives of the European Commission in Afghanistan.
Hina learned unofficially that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration would try to organise her visit to Afghanistan in January.
