In a message issued on Wednesday, the Iranian president felicitated Croatian President-elect Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic and wished for prosperity and progress of both Croatian nation and its government.
Since both nations share common interests, Rouhani expressed hope that Tehran and Zagreb ties would further promote in economic, cultural and political fields during the term of the new Croatian president.
Croatia elected its first female president after opposition challenger Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic scored a narrow victory against incumbent President Ivo Josipovic on January 11 taking 50.87 per cent of the votes in the second-round poll.
