“Also, Croatia has great experience in the tourism industry (25 percent of GDP is formed due to tourism) and can share it,” Stipić Kobali noted.
Nine of the 14 Croatian businesses that are registered in Azerbaijan, according to her, are involved in the energy, transportation, food, pharmaceutical, and information technology sectors.
The Croatian representative emphasized that trade turnover between the two countries has increased four times compared to 2017, and there are great opportunities for its further growth.
