Slovenia s Foreign Minister Anže Logar started his working visit to Croatia on Friday by visiting Petrinja, which was struck by a devastating earthquake on 29 December, and said that Slovenia is always prepared to help but that he hopes that won t be necessary in the future.
Immediately after the 6.2 magnitude earthquake that struck Sisak-Moslavina County, Slovenia s government sent aid to Croatia - 300 sleeping bags, 100 beds, electric heaters, winter tents and 8 housing units. In addition, numerous Slovenian organisations and citizens provided help. Croatia is obviously located in an earthquake-prone area so I hope this sort of help will not be needed in the future, not because Slovenia wouldn t help but because we hope something like this does not happen again, said Logar.

ZAGREB, 17 January (Hina) – By mid-January 45,906 people in Croatia have received the first shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the second shot will be administered as of 18 January, the Croatian Institute of Public Health said on Sunday.
The second dose will be given to people who have been vaccinated across the country since 27 December.
All persons inoculated with the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine need to receive the second shot three weeks after the first.
The World Health Organization says the optimal gap between the two shots of that vaccine, the first to be registered in the EU, is 21 to 28 days. According to clinical studies, it should not exceed six weeks.
