(ANSA) - BELGRADE, SEPTEMBER 03 - A special adviser and
analyst of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, Robert Kopal, said
that Croatia aims at concluding contracts on the purchase of 12
jet fighters by the end of 2020.
Kopal said that analyses have shown that Croatia needs 12
combat planes and "it is our aim to have the contracts signed
until the end of next year." Croatia will consider both new and
used aircrafts as an option, Kopal added.
Local media speculated that Croatia may be interested in
acquiring American F-16 C/D Block 50/52, Swedish JAS-39 Gripen
or French Mirage 2000 jets. Kopal did not speculate which
aircrafts Croatia may select, saying that "all options are still
open."
