Davor Ivo Stier (born 6 January 1972 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is a Croatian Democratic Union politician who is serving as a Deputy Prime Minister of Croatia and Minister of Foreign and European Affairs since 19 October 2016 in the Cabinet of Andrej Plenković. Following Croatia's accession to the European Union in 2013, he was elected as one of the first group of Croatian members of the European Parliament.[2]
Stier was born into a Croatian expatriate family in Argentina—his paternal grandfather was a colonel in the Ustaše who escaped to South America after World War II.[3]
Stier moved to Croatia in 1996 and worked as a diplomat in Washington and Brussels. He was a foreign policy adviser to Ivo Sanader.[3] He was subsequently elected to the Croatian Parliament in 2011.[4]
