At the discussions, the Croatian delegation was informed about the activity of the Hungarian Defence Forces along the border during the migration crisis, and visited a command post of the Transdanubian task force. After the discussions, laying special emphasis on the Zrínyi Year organized in memory of the heroic siege of Szigetvár in 1566, the members of the two land forces delegations went to see the castle of Szigetvár.

The defenders of the castle and their commander are among the greatest military heroes in the historical memories of both nations. In this spirit, in commemoration of the historic predecessors, the two delegations jointly laid a wreath at the monument erected in honour of the defenders of the castle of Szigetvár in 1566.
