In the scope of the 76th<\/sup> session of the United Nations General Assembly, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 held a bilateral meeting with the President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After his meeting with the Turkish President, President Milanovi\u0107 stated that they had a friendly talk about Bosnia and Herzegovina. \u201cWhat I say in public, I say at such meetings too. Also attending the meeting on the Turkish side were the Foreign and Defense Ministers, a high-level and powerful delegation. I don\u2019t know of any state that came to New York with a stronger delegation\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said, adding that their discussion was quite open and very pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI underlined to Mr. Erdo\u011fan that there is absolutely no one in Croatia who will broadcast stories about Mostar and Herzegovina separating, something we hear from others about other parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. That isn\u2019t smart or necessary. In Croatia no one advocates such politics and outcomes or thinks in those terms\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 commented on the arrival of former President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi\u0107 in New York saying that she didn\u2019t come as part of the Croatian delegation. \u201cShe didn\u2019t come with me. She called me about a month ago, and said she would go to New York, and asked if she could be part of our delegation. I said of course, indeed. I am well aware of what she does, it deals a lot with the Olympic Committee and some initiatives, that aren\u2019t irrelevant, she has work. If the Croatian state can provide a platform, why not? That\u2019s all. Later I found out she is not listed in the delegation because of technicalities, precedence, then the Mission registered her separately. That\u2019s that. We have spoken today\u201d, the President said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked why the meeting that was scheduled with the UN Secretary-General was cancelled, President Milanovi\u0107 explained it was not meant to be a meeting just a photo op and a five-minute conversation. \u201cAt that moment I felt that I have something else more productive, an informal meeting concerning the region, state business\u201d, the President explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if Croatia is jealous of Serbia\u2019s economic success as Serbian President Vu\u010di\u0107 states, and says that that is why he mentions him in New York, President Milanovi\u0107 replied: \u201cThat is a never-ending subject. The role that some people played in our areas in the last thirty years cannot be dismissed. Blood was shed, fires were set, people were killed, and some people encouraged it. Croatia, in the manner of a gentleman, let it pass with reason and for us that\u2019s the end of the story, but will we stick our heads in the sand as some others do, many in Serbia, we will not. I think that Vu\u010di\u0107 is proud of what he did. This is something that has to be mentioned occasionally for the sake of the Croatian public and their emotions, especially when someone loses one\u2019s cool, and dispatches daily some of their political figures, spokespersons and instigators to say anything that comes to their mind on their behalf. That is dirty, cheap, and we see that\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs far as jealousy is concerned, Serbia has a higher GDP than Luxembourg. In terms of a general level of development, Serbia isn\u2019t at the level of Croatia, and we are not content with our level. We always want more and in my view we wasted many years and much time\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said, wishing Serbia all the best, and added that Serbia is actually at the level of Albania, which is developing and moving forward. \u201cThe per capita GDP of Serbia and Albania are very close, Croatia and Serbia are not close at all, according to all parameters we live better and richer in Croatia, yet we are not satisfied\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
