Prvi neposredni izbori za 23 člana Hrvatsko nacionalno vijeće u Republici Srbiji daju ovom rezultatu posebnu važnost.

Der Fall der Berliner Mauer vor 37 Jahren markierte einen historischen Wendepunkt für Deutschland und ganz Europa. Er steht bis heute für Freiheit, Einheit und die Überwindung jahrzehntelanger Teilung.
Diese gemeinsamen europäischen Werte verbinden Kroatien und Deutschland und bilden das Fundament unserer engen Freundschaft und Partnerschaft. 🇭🇷🤝🇩🇪

Krakow’s Main Square brings people together. To see it become the scene of such senseless violence is heartbreaking.
I extend my deepest condolences to my colleague @sikorskiradek and the victims’ families, and wish the injured a swift recovery.
Croatia stands with Poland.

On 6th November 1996, the Republic of Croatia became the 40th full member of the @coe. This date symbolizes an important step in the international affirmation of our state after the brutal aggression and war.
It was the start of a journey toward embedding human rights, the rule of law, and democratic standards into our legal and institutional framework.
On the same day, Croatia signed the European Convention on Human Rights, which represents the lasting obligation toward protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of every Croatian citizen.
Croatia remains committed to upholding the high standards of the Convention.

🇭🇷🇺🇸 From October 27–29, Croatia and the United States co-hosted an activity under the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) in Split, bringing together 80 participants from 21 countries.
The three-day program focused on regional cooperation, preventing the illicit transfer of sensitive technologies, and implementing international sanctions. Participants also witnessed a ship-interdiction exercise in the Port of Split, where Croatian authorities demonstrated their ability to coordinate and respond to real-world security challenges.
This was the fifth time Croatia hosted a PSI activity, reflecting its continued commitment to the initiative and the close security cooperation between Croatia and the United States.
A practical example of the strong partnership between our two countries and our shared commitment to security in the Adriatic and Southeast Europe. 🇭🇷🤝🇺🇸

U fokusu su bili regionalna suradnja, sprječavanje nezakonitih transfera osjetljivih tehnologija i provedba sankcija.
Održana je i pokazna vježba presretanja broda u luci Split, kojom su hrvatska nadležna tijela demonstrirala međuresornu koordinaciju i operativne sposobnosti.
Hrvatska je peti put ugostila PSI aktivnost, potvrđujući snažno hrvatsko-američko sigurnosno partnerstvo i predanost sigurnosti Jadrana i jugoistočne Europe.

We strongly condemn the horrific attack on mourners gathered at a church in Karak, Jordan.
Our heartfelt condolences go to the families of the victims, and our thoughts are with those injured and their loved ones.
Croatia stands firmly with Jordan in this difficult moment. Attacks targeting innocent people and places of worship are unacceptable and an affront to the fundamental values of humanity, peace and mutual respect.

🧑🚀 A new landmark welcomes visitors to #Croatia!
The striking 7-metre-tall Boonji Spaceman – Freedom Forward, created by American artist Brendan Murphy, now stands at Zagreb’s Franjo Tuđman Airport, offering a distinctive welcome to travellers from around the world.
The unveiling ceremony, attended by Croatian Minister of Science, Education and Youth Radovan Fuchs and representatives of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, highlighted the enduring friendship between 🇭🇷 and 🇺🇸 and the ability of art to bring people and cultures closer together.
From cultural exchange to cooperation in space exploration, including through the #ArtemisAccords, the Croatia-U.S. partnership continues to open new horizons, driven by a shared spirit of creativity, innovation and discovery. 🚀

🇭🇷🇨🇳 Croatian FM @grlicradman welcomed Chinese FM Wang Yi to Zagreb, marking another important step in strengthening bilateral relations following Minister Grlić Radman's visit to Beijing in July 2025. Ahead of the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations in 2027, both sides reaffirmed their commitment to further deepening cooperation and giving new momentum to their partnership.
Discussions focused on expanding economic and trade cooperation, attracting Chinese investment and facilitating greater access to the Chinese market for Croatian goods. The newly launched direct Zagreb–Beijing air route represents a tangible step towards stronger connectivity, facilitating tourism, business and people-to-people exchanges. Building on this momentum, further opportunities for cooperation lie in transport and logistics, renewable energy and industry.
The ministers also exchanged views on the 🇪🇺 perspective of the Western Balkans, as well as pressing international challenges, including the aggression against Ukraine and developments in the Middle East.
Croatia reaffirmed the importance of continued EU–China dialogue, respect for international law and diplomacy in addressing global challenges.
