Josipovic, who is on an official visit to Monaco, was received with high military honors, after which he started private talks with Prince Albert II, to be followed by talks between the two countries' delegations focusing on strengthening the existing cooperation between Croatia and Monaco, protection of the environment, notably the sea, cooperation within the framework of the Mediterranean Union, and the coming Conference Rio +20.

Croatia and Monaco established diplomatic relations in 2007. Prince Albert II officially visited Croatia in April 2009.

Croatia and Monaco cooperate in many sectors, notably in mine removal. In 2007 Monaco and the Croatian Mine Action Centre signed a three year agreement on mine removal in the border Danube river region and the Kopacki Rit nature park.

Monaco has also donated money to the mine victims rehabilitation centre M.A.R.E. in Rovinj. So far the Principality has donated US$ 275,000 and it will donate another $450,000 in the period 2010-2012.

The two countries also cooperate in culture.

Princess Charlene of Monaco and the first lady of Croatia, Tatjana Josipovic, will join the two countries' delegations for a working lunch at the Palace of Monaco.
