Croatia has met all European obligations concerning border police and in the next two years it intends to focus on increasing its capacities in preparation to enter the Schengen zone and it will have around EUR 120 million at its disposal from facility funds for this purpose, the border administration assistant director Gilio Toic Sintic told a conference on security in the European Union and its external borders upon Croatia's entry into the EU, held on Tuesday by the police directorate.
As he explained, the next step is to set up cameras and radars on the furthest most islands in order to facilitate supervision of the 900 kilometre sea border.
Croatia has built two new border crossings toward Bosnia and Herzegovina and an agreement is being prepared to define all border crossings to that country including cross-border traffic aligned with EU regulations, he explained.
The conference was attended by delegations from the interior, justice, finance and economy ministries as well as the supreme court and state prosecution and border police from Croatia, Hungary and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
