Jakovcic and Istria County Prefect Stevo Zufic on Saturday signed
an agreement on cooperation and financial assistance in the
elaboration of economic and infrastructure projects in the area
bordering with Slovenia.
The agreement is worth 550,000 kuna.
During the ceremony of signing in the coastal resort of Umag,
Jakovcic said his ministry had to date concluded such agreement
with several other Croatian counties.
The purpose of this assistance from the Ministry is to help open new
prospects for the economic cooperation in Croatian border areas
with its neighbours.
"To be open towards neighbours is in accordance with the incumbent
Croatian Government's interests, and cross-border cooperation is
the foundation of European values," Jakovcic said adding the
Ministry of European Integration supported de-centralisation of
Croatia.
According to him, this was in the context of the set-up of a
Euroregion in Istria, which the Ministry backs just as it supports
the creation of an Euroregion Sava-Danube-Drava with the centre in
Pecs, Hungary.
Istrian Prefect Zufic thanked the ministry for the considerable
assistance.
