Von der Leyen tweeted the Commission was in contact with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic.

Stay strong Croatia!

After a powerful earthquake struck this morning, the @EU_Commission is in contact with Prime Minister @AndrejPlenkovic and the Croatian authorities.

We are following the situation closely and stand ready to help.

Stay strong Croatia!

Plenkovic thanked von der Leyen and the Commission, saying that Croatia appreciated their support.

"It will be vital as we work to rebuild Sisak, Petrinja and the Sisak-Moslavina County, just as we also cooperate on reconstructing Zagreb after the March earthquake," he tweeted.
The area of central Croatia between the cities of Zagreb and Sisak was rocked by a magnitude 5.0 earthquake at 6.28 a.m. Monday morning. Two more quakes struck the Petrinja area around 7.50 a.m., one measuring 4.7 and the other 4.1 on the Richter scale.
