Head of National Assembly Delegation to PACE Meets with Croatian Ambassador to Serbia
The Head of the National Assembly delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Dr Aleksandra Tomic met today, at the National Assembly, with Croatian Ambassador to Serbia H.E. Gordan Bakota to discuss advancing regional cooperation as well as cooperation within international parliamentary institutions.
Tomic and Bakota agreed that the future of the region lies in cooperation and that protecting the rights of national minorities, as the cornerstone of European values, is very significant for both countries. It is important to ensure full protection of minority rights and the participation of national minorities in policy creation and decision-making in the Serbian and Croatian society, they agreed.
They also spoke about reciprocal support and protection of Serbian and Croatian interests in international parliamentary institutions, especially the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe where Dr Aleksandra Tomic heads the National Assembly’s delegation.
