Croatian Prime Minister: Croatian reintegration model applicable to Ukraine and Georgia

Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković says that Croatia’s experience with the peaceful reintegration of its Danube region in 1998 could benefit Ukraine and Georgia which have lost parts of their territories in wars with Russia.

Croatian Prime Minister made this statement while addressing the Munich Security Conference. Plenković said that the experience of Ukraine and Georgia was comparable to that of Croatia.

“We had two solutions: a military solution and a diplomatic solution. The solution that relied on pressure and diplomacy resulted in the reintegration of our territory,” Plenković said.

He said that this model could be applied to Ukraine and George, adding that the two countries would have fared better had they been members of the EU and NATO.

“Ukraine and Georgia are neither members of the EU nor of NATO and this complicates the situation. Had they been members, the situation would have been much different,” said Plenković.
