"As a member of NATO and the European Union, Croatia strongly supports the Euro-Atlantic integration of Serbia and we are ready to share all our knowledge and experience we have gained," said Lovric, who arrived on a two-day visit to Serbia. Ljubisa Dikovic said that military cooperation between the two countries was good, "but there was room for improvement." "We'll talk about the improvement of military cooperation especially in the fields of military and economic cooperation, training and military education. I hope that such military cooperation and understanding that exists will help to solve all the issues," said the Serbian general.
