After returning from Zagreb, where he briefly stopped after his visit to London and met Croatian Foreign Minister Tonino Picula, Lagumdzija said the two governments entirely agree that the crucial problem is the current standstill status of the Ploce port, which is to the detriment of everybody. "We will find a solution which will be in line with international standards on the patching up of differences," Lagumdzija said and added he believed this would take place in the near future. In his opinion, the status of the Ploce port must not bring the two countries' good relations into question.
