Following recent publications in Israel concerning the sale of fighter jets to Croatia, the Prime Minister of Croatia Andrej Plenković denies that a decision on the acquisition has been made.
"Prime Minister Andrej Plenković said on Friday that the procedure for the evaluation of bids for the procurement of fighter jets for Croatia's Air Force was underway, and added that this topic was on the agenda of his talks in Davos not only with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but also with his Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras as well as with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Loefven in mid-November", Total Croatia News reported.
Plenković's statement came after the Prime Minister's Office issued a press release saying the two leaders have agreed to move forward on the sale of Israeli F-16s to Croatia.
"We will make a final decision after we are sure from all aspects that we are making the right choice and long-term solution for the Croatian Air Force for the next 30 years," Plenković said.
