Croatian Foreign Minister Marija Pejcinovic-Buric will officially visit Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, where she will meet with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

On Tuesday, Pejcinovic-Buric will speak at a roundtable organised by the Atlantic Council on Croatia’s views on how to ensure a strong and successful European Union.

On Wednesday, she will meet with Pompeo. Croatian and US foreign ministers have not met since 2012, when former Croatian Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic met with the then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Pejcinovic-Buric will also hold talks with Mira Ricardel, deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump; Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Europe; and the co-chairs of the Congressional Croatian Caucus, David Joyce and Nanette Barragan.

The Croatian minister will also give a talk on Croatia’s contributions and ideas on reinforcing the transatlantic alliance, organised by the Heritage Foundation, one of the most influential conservative policy think tanks in the US.
