Croatia Statehood Day

Press Statement

Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

May 30, 2026

On behalf of the United States of America, I congratulate the people of Croatia as you celebrate your Statehood Day.

The United States values our strong partnership with Croatia. We commend Croatia's leadership in hosting a successful Three Seas Initiative Summit and Business Forum in April, which demonstrated a commitment to advancing regional connectivity and prosperity. Croatia's contributions to regional energy security and defense cooperation remain essential to transatlantic strength.

Our two nations have benefited greatly from a close relationship built on shared democratic values alongside a common commitment to regional peace and stability. We look forward to building on our energy partnerships and advancing real economic opportunities for Americans and Croatians alike in the years ahead.

As you celebrate this day of national pride, know that America stands with you as a trusted NATO Ally and partner in pursuing peace and prosperity for our peoples.
