"Danas sam nominirao Hrvatsku da se pridruži Programu za ukidanje viza. Ovaj korak prema bezviznom režimu znak je da smo prepoznali ogroman napredak Hrvatske prilikom ispunjavanja strogih kriterija koje prolaze zemlje članice Programa. Nadamo se još jačem odnosu SAD-a i Hrvatske", objavio je Blinken na Twitteru.
Today I nominated Croatia to join the Visa Waiver Program. This step towards visa-free travel recognizes Croatia’s tremendous progress to meet the rigorous standards for participant countries. We look forward to an even stronger U.S.-Croatia relationship.

Lider HDZ-a u Bosni i Hercegovini Dragan Čović je čestitao Plenkoviću i Vladi Hrvatske na ovom koraku dodavši da su "važan primjer Bosni i Hercegovini da je potrebno jačati saradnju sa SAD-om".
Congratulations @AndrejPlenkovic and @VladaRH for 🇭🇷 being nominated to join the 🇺🇸 #VWP. Great benefit for all citizens of 🇭🇷 and an important example for 🇧🇦 in strengthening cooperation with the #USA as an important partner. @SecBlinken @USEmbZagreb @USEmbassySJJ
