Both officials said in a statement for the press after the meeting that bilateral relations were highly developed and that they had been constantly improving over the last several years.
Petersen, who is on a day-long visit to Croatia, will open the Danish Embassy in Zagreb this afternoon.
"The opening of the embassy and the exchange of new ambassadors, which will come very soon, certainly confirm the excellent relations between our two countries... at this moment Denmark is an exceptionally important partner to Croatia in its dialogue with the EU," Biscevic said.
The Croatian official said he informed Petersen about the government's efforts to implement its action plan aimed at locating runaway general Ante Gotovina. The implementation of the action plan is the final test for Croatia ahead of important meetings in the EU and confirmation of the start of talks.
The Danish official said that the presence of Danish diplomats in Croatia was part of the very good political and economic relations with Croatia. Denmark supports Croatia's gradual integration with the EU and has set aside for that purpose two million US dollars for the improvement of the state administration in Croatia, he said.
Asked by reporters about the start of Croatia-EU entry talks, Petersen said Croatia was probably closer to the EU than it had ever been.
He added, however, that a report by the Hague tribunal chief prosecutor Carla Del Ponte and a meeting of the task force on Croatia were being expected.
However, we believe that the Croatian government and society are making efforts and are doing a good and all-encompassing job worthy of admiration, he said.
