President Milanović: Croatia’s representation in the European Council is a matter for serious discussion because the Prime Minister is usurping constitutional powers
“Croatia is a member of NATO; Serbia is not, and it is up to them to decide where they are headed and what they will do. But as long as our neighbouring country continues to acquire weapons systems that draw attention, every normal state will ask: what do you need them for? This concerns us as well, because our closest neighbour is acquiring systems that we do not currently possess. That means we will have to acquire them too. I see it as part of my job to warn about this,” said the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović during a working visit to Montenegro, commenting on Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić’s reaction after President Milanović raised Serbia’s military build-up at the NATO Summit.
