ZAGREB, September 11, 2019 – Council of the EU Secretary-General Jeppe Tranholm-Mikkelsen said on Wednesday he strongly believed in the success of Croatia’s chairmanship of the Council in the first half of 2020.
He was in Zagreb for talks with the country’s leadership about preparations for Croatia’s EU presidency.
This was an opportunity for me to explain what our cooperation will look like during the presidency and to find out the priorities of Croatia’s presidency, he told reporters after talks in the government, including with Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
Tranholm-Mikkelsen also congratulated Dubravka Šuica on her nomination as the European Commission’s vice president for democracy and demography.
I think it’s an expression of the European Union’s confidence in your candidates and Croatia as an EU member state, he said.
