Turković is in Tehran to pay respect to the late Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi and his entourage, who lost their lives in a helicopter crash on May 19.

She is also in Iran to attend a ceremony to mark the 35th anniversary of the passing away of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini.

Turković hailed relations between Iran and her country, expressing hope that the bilateral ties are expanded further
