"I have nothing special to say. This is neither the first nor the
last time that it's being rumoured military assistance might be
cancelled," she told reporters during the handover of modernised
MIG jets at Zagreb's Pleso airport.
The minister said Croatia enjoyed good cooperation with the United
States with regard to military aid and other aspects of
partnership.
"What might bring this into question are political issues and
Croatia-U.S. relations," she said, stating these issues should be
settled through negotiations.
