Andrej Plenković, the Croatian Prime Minister, will soon be traveling to the USA as one of the recipients of the Atlantic Council’s Distinguished Leadership Award, often referred to as the Washington Oscars. He will be accompanied by representatives of major Croatian companies.

"According to my information, this has nothing to do with tariffs. The Prime Minister is coming to receive a prestigious award and will quickly return home. We'll see what happens with the people who are coming with him," said Ivica Puljić, Al Jazeera’s correspondent from Washington, in the Dnevnik news program on Nova TV.
