Croatian Foreign and European Affairs Minister, Marija Pejcinovic-Buric, on Thursday officially opened the offices of Croatia's Permanent Representation to NATO at the alliance's new headquarters in Brussels, the Ministry said.

The new building, with an area of more than 250,000 square metres, provides space for 1,500 people from national delegations, 1,700 international military and civilian employees, 650 employees of NATO agencies, and 500-1,000 visitors daily.

The state-of-the-art offices of the new NATO headquarters are designed to meet the constantly changing tasks which NATO encounters in keeping peace and ensuring freedom for its members, the ministry said.

The complete relocation of all NATO member-countries’ representations is expected before a NATO summit, which is scheduled to take place on July 11-12.
