Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic met with his Serbian counterpart Ivica Dacic during his visit to Belgrade in January 2013. He said after the meeting that it was high time the tensions between the two countries were defused. The two prime ministers discussed outstanding issues, including refugees and displaced persons, tenancy rights, war crimes prosecution, borders, mutual lawsuits before the International Court of Justice, economic issues, and European integration.
