Lagos is scheduled to meet Mesic, Parliament President Vladimir Seks
and Prime Minister Ivo Sanader on Thursday when he will also address
the Croatian Parliament and meet for talks with the mayor of Zagreb,
Vlasta Pavic.
On Friday, the Chilean delegation will visit the southern Adriatic
city of Split and the island of Brac where Lagos will unveil a
memorial plaque in honour of the Croatian community in Chile.
Lagos is the first Chilean and Latin American president to officially
visit Croatia. Chile was one of the first countries outside Europe to
recognise Croatia as an independent state. There are no outstanding
issues in political relations between the two countries, while
potential for economic cooperation has not been sufficiently realised,
the statement said.
