The Mayor of Dubrovnik, Mato Franković, met with the Austrian Ambassador to Croatia, H.E. Josef Markus Wuketich, to discuss ongoing cooperation between Dubrovnik and Austria. Key topics included enhancing ties around the Festivities of Saint Blaise and the Day of Dubrovnik, both important cultural events for the city.

During his visit, Ambassador Wuketich attended a Gershwin concert at the Rector’s Palace, featuring Austrian pianist Karl Eichinger and the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra. The event was organized in collaboration with the Austrian Cultural Forum.

This year also marks 30 years of Dubrovnik's sister city relationship with Graz and the 25th anniversary of the Croatian-Austrian Society in Dubrovnik.

Both sides emphasized the importance of continuing their successful cultural cooperation.
