(ANSA) - ZAGREB, 18 DIC - Croatian parliament approved today the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea's international waters, which will come into force in January, along with Italy's EEZ. The parliament approved the decision with 129 votes in favor and one abstention.

"Through the proclamation of the EEZ, we will raise the protection framework of the Adriatic Sea to the maximum," explained Foreign Minister Goran Grlic Radman, recalling that in recent weeks, after intense consultations with the Italian side, the conditions have been created to prepare the legislation for the exclusive zone.
