On April 25, Bozinovic conducted a visit to the Holy See on the occasion of marking 20 years of the establishment of the Military Ordinariate in Croatia and met with Commandant Giani, inviting him to visit Croatia, which he accepted.
During the day-long visit, Giani will conduct talks on matters of common interest, the press release said.
The Gendarmerie Corps of Vatican City State is the gendarmerie, or police and security force, of Vatican City and the extraterritorial properties of the Holy See. The corps is responsible for security, public order, border control, traffic control, criminal investigation, and other general police duties in Vatican City.
While the protection of the Pope's person is primarily the Swiss Guard's responsibility, the gendarmes ensure public order at the audiences, meetings and ceremonies at which he is present. In Italian territory and in other countries, this is done in liaison with the local police authorities.
The Commandant of the Gendarmerie Corps is head of the Directorate of Security and Civil Protection Services, which also oversees the Vatican fire brigade.
