Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic on Monday congratulated Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic on his victory in the presidential election, expressing hope of future cooperation on solving issues between the two countries.

She hoped that together with Vucic, they would find solutions to the outstanding issues still burdening the relations between the two neighboring countries, she said.
