The fair, which will run through 24 April, is held under the auspices of the Croatian government and is organised by TNT Production Inc. from the United States.
Opening the event, Croatian Defence Minister Ante Kotromanovic said it was exceptionally important that the exhibition was being held in Croatia for the third time.
I am confident that our national defence policy and the proactive contribution and potential of Croatia's military industry has greatly contributed to that, he added.
According to him, Croatia was constantly recording an increase in military equipment exports and last year that growth amounted to 25%.
Kotromanovic also said that numerous delegations from NATO, the EU and partner countries at this fair confirmed that such events contributed to the exchange of ideas and information and was an excellent venue for launching new projects and signing new deals.
The event was also addressed by TNT Production Inc director Justic Webb.
