Picula said his visit to the Yugoslav capital sent a "strong message to Europe and the whole world that things are changing in the region ... certain times are irretrievably behind us." The two ministers agreed that trade and economic co-operation between the two countries needs to be developed further.
Picula je rekao da je njegova poseta jugoslovenskoj prestonici "snažna poruka Evropi i svetu da se stvari u regionu menjaju i da su neka vremena nepovratno iza nas." Dva ministra složila su se da je potrebno dalje razvijati trgovinu i ekonomsku saradnju između Jugoslavije i Hrvatske.
