During the second day of the Munich Security Conference, the Minister of Defense Dragan Krapović spoke with the Minister of Defense of Albania, Nik Peleši, about improving the defense cooperation between the two countries.
The interlocutors emphasized the importance of the defense cooperation between the two countries, and expressed the expectation of the soon signing of a technical arrangement, which would provide a foundation and basis for joint training of members of the Croatian Armed Forces and the Army of Albania.
The defense ministers of the two countries said that, in addition to bilateral activities, defense cooperation between Montenegro and Albania also takes place through active participation in regional initiatives, such as the American-Adriatic Charter A5, SEDM, RACVIAC, BMTF, DECI, ADRION, B9 and CEDC+.
Bearing in mind that Albania chairs the American-Adriatic Charter A5 this year, Minister Peleši expressed his belief that the chairmanship will contribute to the strengthening of cooperation between the countries of the region and the additional promotion of European and Euro-Atlantic integration.
At the invitation of the Federal Minister of Defense, Boris Pistorius, Krapović attended the working lunch, as well as the official dinner on the occasion of the awarding of the "Ewald Von Kleist" awards, hosted by the Prime Minister of Bavaria, Markus Zeder.
