Cities Friends
For the purpose of joint interests and promoting economic, social and cultural developments, the city of Karlovac may establish cooperation not only with local and regional governments within the Republic of Croatia, but also with local and regional governments of other states. The city of Karlovac today has established and maintained friendly relationships with many cities. 

Alessandria, Italy

The first friendship was concluded in 1964 with the city of Alessandria (Italy), and has been maintained through economic and cultural cooperation and exchange. The help provided to Karlovac by the city of Alessandria was especially visible during the Croatian War of Independence, and in remembrance of that, since 2005 the bridge across river Kupa between Dubovec and Drežnik carries the name "City of Alessandria bridge"
