The first joint patrol between the Chinese and Croatian police was carried out in 2018, and this year is the fifth joint patrol.

At the same time, he hopes to use the joint patrol as a platform to further expand the China-Croatia police cooperation. (Video: Fu Yufei (intern); Editor: Diao Huilin, Zhou Xiaotian)
