JERUSALEM, March 14 (Hina) - Croatia's Foreign Minister Miomir Zuzul
arrived in Jerusalem on Sunday for a several-day visit to Israel where
he will hold talks with senior Israeli officials on bilateral ties.#L#
The official part of the visit of Croatia's delegation led by Zuzul
will begin on Monday when the Croatian foreign minister will hold a
meeting with his host, Israeli Foreign Minister Sylvan Shalom.
Zuzul and Shalom are expected to discuss the relations between their
countries, international topics as well as the peace process at the
Middle East.
Zuzul will be received by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and
President Moshe Katsav.
The Croatian minister will pay a visit to the Yad Vashem Holocaust
Memorial Centre.
Since they established diplomatic relations in 1997, Croatia and
Israel have maintained good political relations at all relations.
However, economic relations should be significantly improved as the
trade between the two countries was modest last year totalling only
15.4 million dollars.
Croatia's delegation includes Science, Education and Sport Minister
Dragan Primorac and Agriculture Minister Petar Cobankovic, besides
Minister Zuzul.
