"Afghanistan was a special topic of our talks," Minister Bozinovic said, adding that the main task of both the Croatian and Slovak contingents in Afghanistan is to train local security forces and transfer responsibility for security in that Asian country to Afghan forces.
He recalled that the Croatian troops were in charge of a military policy training school in Kabul.
The two ministers also discussed the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the Slovak official saying that they shared the same position on that matter.
Bozinovic and Galko considered a possibility of regional cooperation in the renewal of air fleets.
Although the Slovak finance minister (Ivan Miklos) has recently expressed his disapproval of plans to renew the Slovakian military fleet, Galko believes that "supersonic jets should be retained" or that this matter "should be solved in cooperation with the neighbours" and that it is possible to allow third parties to be in charge of controlling the air space.
Bozinovic thanked Galko for "Slovakia's wholehearted support" to Croatia on its road to NATO and to its European Union membership bid.
"Slovakia is one of the staunchest advocates of Croatia's European road," Bozinovic said.
Galko said that the EU would benefit from Croatia's admission with regard to "the quality and security of its area".
Croatian Foreign Affairs and European Integration Minister Gordan Jandrokovic also received the Slovak guest for talks on the bilateral cooperation and the cooperation of the two countries within NATO.
Jandrokovic and Galko described the bilateral relations as excellent.
Jandrokovic also informed the Slovak delegation about the state of affairs in Croatia's EU accession negotiations.
