ZAGREB, April 21. /Dunyo IA/. As part of their consular duties, Uzbekistan’s diplomats in Budapest conducted a field visit to Croatia, visiting the cities of Zagreb and Križevci, as well as the Zagreb County, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

During the visit, meetings were held with compatriots temporarily residing and employed in these regions.

Citizens were provided with information regarding the regulations for staying in the host country, the procedure and significance of consular registration, and mechanisms for receiving consular and legal assistance.
