The President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanovi\u0107 participated in the NATO Summit, at which the Heads of State and Government of NATO Member States discussed topics related to the Alliance\u2019s reforms until 2030, including adapting to challenges such as destabilizing activities on the part of Russia, the rise of China, terrorist threats, cyber-attacks and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the NATO Summit, President Milanovi\u0107 gave press statements, saying that he was satisfied with the meeting, but also worried because of what took place with the closing statement and the paragraph on Bosnia and Herzegovina where \u2013 until the intervention by Croatia \u2013 the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, better known as the Dayton Agreement, was not mentioned. \u201cWe will have to check what is behind that, and how come that some members undermine and overtly obstruct efforts to make mention of the Dayton Accords in the paragraph on Bosnia and Herzegovina, an integral part of the final document, as if that were something toxic,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, adding that he managed to ensure the insertion of this reference at the last moment. \u201cThat is a warning sign. Had I failed to do that, we would have had a statement which would look like as if it had been written by an advocate of the so-called civic Bosnia and Herzegovina, and that cause is ostensibly noble but is actually a hoax,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked by reporters whether the Republic of Croatia can be satisfied with the changes in the document, President Milanovi\u0107 reiterated: \u201cWe managed to incorporate the need for electoral reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina into the communiqu\u00e9. It wasn\u2019t there. To exclude this rather manipulative reference to all the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which in any other context would sound very noble and well-intentioned, but not in this context, and yes, to finally force them to insert in the text the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina. And none of that was there until yesterday afternoon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy is it important that the Dayton Agreement is at least mentioned in the statement? Because otherwise there are no Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Now we come to the question of whether that is important. It is to me,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reporters asked the President if there was a logical reason why the foundation of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina was not mentioned, to which President Milanovi\u0107 replied: \u201cThat is a job for Croatian diplomacy in the capitals of our allies, where it was insisted until the last moment that mentioning Dayton was unacceptable to them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, reporters asked whether there was coordination and communication in Croatian foreign policy. \u201cThere is coordination. In my every move and of my associates. The Ministry is kept informed. The opposite is not true, but there was no more action by the Ministry and there couldn\u2019t be because I, as the head of the delegation, took the task upon myself and my associates from the Office of the President, with the cooperation of the head of mission Ambassador Nobilo and other Croatian diplomats. I use the occasion to thank them because they did everything they could until I had to get directly involved. And it\u2019s all documented as in the most accurate protocol,\u201d replied President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur diplomacy and a civil service will have to find out why there are so many obstructions to the mention of Dayton. This makes me conclude that there are some who have creative plans for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Croatia, as well as the Bosnian Serbs, who were not our allies in the war but adversaries, will have something to say on this topic. On the other hand, the Bosniaks were our allies for the most part of the war. What interests me in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole and a country with its territorial integrity, which I never bring into question, is the destiny and the fundamental voting rights and citizens\u2019 rights of Bosnia and Herzegovina\u2019s Croats, of whom the lion\u2019s share are citizens of Croatia. This is a fact that was politically and legally known to both NATO and the EU at the time of our accession to these associations. It\u2019s not a hoax. It\u2019s simply a burden or pearls with which we entered these organizations, it depends how one looks at it. That is a political, legal, historical fact \u2013 500,000 citizens of one NATO member, the Republic of Croatia, live in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As far as we are concerned, they should stay there, but they are Croats and there is dialogue here and compromise,\u201d said the Croatian President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven documents were adopted at the NATO Summit: a joint statement, NATO 2030 reform  agenda, action plan on the impact of climate change on security, documents on cyber defense, prevention of sexual violence and strengthening resilience, and a report on the burden-sharing of defense spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
