Zuzul and Sofer said the two countries' relations were very good and that they continued to improve, the proof of which was the Israeli government's decision to open an embassy in Zagreb.
The two ministers said, however, that the Croatia-Israel economic relations were not as good, but added that there was room for improvement.
Zuzul and Sofer expressed conviction that the opening of the Israeli embassy in Zagreb would contribute to the promotion of cooperation in all areas.
Sofer also held talks with the head of the Croatian Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Gordan Jandrokovic.
Israel and Croatia have established extraordinary bilateral relations and developed excellent political relations and thus laid good foundations for better economic cooperation, Jandrokovic said and expressed satisfaction with the fact that Israel would soon open its embassy in Croatia.
Sofer expressed satisfaction with the fact that Croatia and Israel did not have outstanding issues but added it was necessary to advance economic cooperation.
Israel is ready to invest in Croatia's economy, notably in tourism and agriculture, the Israeli official said.
Croatia is a great discovery for us in the economic sense and the economic cooperation is of extreme importance, Sofer said.
Croatia and Israel have established diplomatic relations in 1997 after which the two country's relations have intensified. In 1998, the then Croatian Foreign Minister Mate Granic officially visited Israel and the two countries' good relations were additionally confirmed by the official visit of Croatian President Stjepan Mesic in 2001 and the return visit of Israeli President Moshe Katsav to Croatia last year.
Croatian Foreign Minister Miomir Zuzul, Education Minister Dragan Primorac and Agriculture Minister Petar Cobankovic visited Israel this March.
