Dear Sir/Madam,

the networking and cooperation with international defence industry associations in Europe continues. Today I held a meeting with Mr. Goran Basarac, President of the Croatian association HKKOI (Croatian Defence Industry Competitiveness Cluster). We exchanged useful information about how each association operates, and at the end of the meeting we ensured that we will try to cooperate more closely in the future on the COSME programme (European platform for cooperation between associations) and on EDF projects, where consortium approaches are required.
