Serbian Defence Minister Dragan Sutanovac announced a visit to Croatia in June during which the two countries’ armies are expected to sign an agreement on defence cooperation.
"This is a historical agreement with which we will put an end to the dark past that must not be forgotten, but from which we must learn how to better cooperate in the future, " Sutanovac told Serbian newspaper Nin.
He added that Croatia is the last country in the region with which Serbia is signing such an agreement, but that Croatia is also a country with war experiences with Serbia and which still traumatizes from the 90s when the Balkan wars were fought – more so than Serbia.
"Just the fact that I will visit Croatia in my position as the Minister of Defence shows that there is a desire from both sides to make things better," he said adding that after the agreement is signed, the two armies will have a possibility to organize mutual exercises, trainings, educational exchanges, etc.
"Croatia has professionalized its army, has been participating in Partnership for Peace for a long time, and is a NATO member. It is a country that participates in a large number of peace missions, and that is the future of the Serbian army as well," Sutanovac said.
