Croatia also joins the work on new supply corridors for Ukrainian products within the EU project The Solidarity Lanes. "Croatia is actively joining and will involve other ports on the Adriatic, and there are opportunities for corridors along the Danube River," says Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković.
