His Excellency

Davor Ivo Stier

Davor Ivo Stier became Deputy Prime Minister of Croatia and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs on October 19, 2016, serving in the Cabinet of Andrej Plenkovic. Following Croatia’s accession to the European Union in 2013, he was elected as one of the first group of Croatian members of the European Parliament. Previously he was a member of the Croatian Parliament (2011-2013), served as Permanent Representative of the Republic of Croatia to NATO (2003-2008) as well as at the Croatian Embassy to the United States (1998-2002).

Description

Croatian Minister of Foreign and European Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Davor Ivo Stier joins other foreign ministers at the ministerial meeting of the Anti-ISIL Coalition on March 21 in Washington, DC. The timing of this visit could not be more propitious.  Much is at stake and much is under way in the region. Croatia’s immediate Western Balkan neighborhood is undergoing the worst threats to its stability since the wars of the 1990s. These complex challenges will require an effective response both by the European Union and NATO. Join us as Minister Stier examines these critical issues facing his homeland.
