President Milanović Presents Officer’s Daggers and Decorations to Retired Croatian Army Officers
“Nearly all of you actively participated in the Croatian Homeland War, fought and commanded, and those who did not, retired after having held the highest offices. Most of you were colonels, people who carried out their tasks and their duty to Croatia with honour, as the name and notion itself suggest (časnik = officer; čast = honour)“, the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović told the retired senior officers of the Croatian Armed Forces at a ceremony held on the occasion of their retirement.
President Milanović: Israel is not a reliable partner; military equipment should be purchased from NATO members, primarily the USA, with the participation of Croatian industry
“In these circumstances there is not cooperation with Israel as far as the Croatian Army is concerned. I am one of those who, during my entire political career, I had enough understanding and tolerance for Israeli actions, but not in the last two-three years. That is a brutal policy; that is an army responsible for the worst war crimes in form, content and targeting those that are much weaker than them. What the Israeli army, politics and establishment have done in Gaza is horrific, unprecedented disregard for humanitarian law and humanity. And the Croatian Army will not cooperate with such an army”, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović commented today on the Defense minister’s visit to Israel.
