During a 30 minute meeting, Mesic and Chatelet exchanged views on Croatia's European prospects and bilateral relations between Croatia and Belgium, Mesic's spokeswoman Danijela Barisic said.
Chatelet said that over the past year trade between Croatia and the Brussels-Capital Region had increased by four per cent.
It was said during the talks that Belgium had so far donated 150,000 euros for mine removal projects in the Vukovar and Nustar areas of eastern Croatia. It was noted that after being cleared of land mines those areas, not exposed to chemical treatment, represented a good basis for health food production.
