MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th May, 2019) Russia's Prosecutor General's Office plans to implement the agreement to sign a cooperation deal with the Croatian Justice Ministry and discuss cooperation issues with Slovenian counterparts, the press office told Sputnik on Thursday.

At his meeting with Croatian Justice Minister Drazen Bosnjakovic during the ongoing St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika stressed the need to implement last year's agreement to sign a cooperation deal between the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and the Croatian Justice Ministry, according to the press service.

"I am convinced that the conclusion of this [deal] will become an important step toward strengthening the Russian-Croatian interdepartmental cooperation, aimed at consolidating efforts in fighting organized crime, new challenges and threats," Chaika said as quoted by the press service.

At the talks with Slovenian Justice Minister Andrea Katic, Chaika proposed to address all issues that arise during the cooperation process between the Russian and Slovenian agencies at bilateral consultations involving experts from the Russian Prosecutor General's Office and Slovenian judicial authorities.

The St. Petersburg legal forum opened on Tuesday and will last through Saturday.
