Ireland established diplomatic relations with Croatia in January, 1995 and our Ambassador to Slovenia is accredited there on a non-resident basis. Ireland is also represented by an Honorary Consul in Zagreb. The opening of further resident missions abroad, including in Croatia, is considered by the Government on an ongoing basis.
