Croatia backs Uzbekistan's plan for Migration Agency office in Zagreb

Croatia has supported Uzbekistan's initiative to open a representation of the Agency for Migration in Zagreb, according to UzDaily. The news followed talks between the agency's director, Mukhsinkhodzha Abdurakhmonov, and the leadership of Croatia's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

The planned representation is expected to provide legal and practical assistance to citizens of Uzbekistan who are in Croatia. It could also become a coordination center for developing migration cooperation with Slovenia and Serbia.

The parties also discussed ways to speed up visa document processing for Uzbek citizens employed in Croatia under interstate programs. The Croatian side said it was ready to work with consular institutions to seek practical solutions that would simplify these procedures. Both sides agreed to continue cooperation and move toward practical implementation of the agreed arrangements.
