ZAGREB, 16 July 2022 - Croatia will keep insisting that Serbia starts implementing the 2005 bilateral agreement on the protection of respective minorities, Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman said in his message on Twitter on Saturday.

Extending his best wishes to the Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (DSHV) on its 32nd anniversary, the FM tweeted that Croatia's government would continue intensified cooperation with Croatian political representatives and the DSHV in Serbia.

We will continue offering "political and material support to the ethnic Croat community in Serbia and its efforts to preserve its ethnic identity and rich cultural tradition and heritage," the minister said.

Recalling the success of the DSHV leader Tomislav Žigmanov who won a seat in Serbia's parliament, Grlić Radman added that Croatia's government will insist on the implementation of the 2005 agreement on the mutual protection of respective ethnic minorities and on the principle of reciprocity at all levels of authority.
