Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic will visit the Vatican on Monday when he will be received by Pope Benedict XVI.
The Croatian premier will hold a meeting with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of State and Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, and participate in a round table discussion on the 20 years of diplomatic ties between Croatia and the Holy See.
Croatia's delegation also includes Justice Minister Orsat Miljenic, the head of the state commission for relations with religious communities.
The talks will revolve around the situation in Croatia and the region and Croatia's forthcoming admission to the European Union.
Some media speculate that the premier might initiate talks on revising the sections of the Vatican-Croatia treaty concerning the funds from the state budget designated for the Catholic Church.
