The \u201cGoranski risovi\u201d [Lynxes of Gorski Kotar] Brigade was established in Delnice on 28 October 1991 and was initially composed of Croatian National Guard units from the municipalities of Delnice, \u010cabar and Vrbovsko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 138<sup>th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade Club has upheld the tradition of the brigade and celebrated its service in the Homeland War. The delegation told President Milanovi\u0107 that the Club\u2019s goal is to continue to uphold the brigade\u2019s tradition and honour its wartime service. As they presented to the President the brigade\u2019s service in the Homeland War, the members of the delegation pointed out that more than 5,000 defenders passed through its ranks, mostly from the region of Gorski Kotar, but also from the Croatian Littoral, Krk Island, Rijeka and Opatija. Fifteen members of the brigade were killed and 220 were wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The delegation emphasized that thanks to the brigade\u2019s first combat engagement in early November 1991, namely the liberation of all Yugoslav National Army military facilities in Delnice, the Croatian Army had obtained a great deal of weapons and ammunition needed for defense. From its inception until November 1995, the brigade spent four years on the battlefield, primarily in the region of Lika, the delegation said, and the \u201cGoranski risovi\u201d Brigade also contributed to the liberating Operation Storm, in which they fought alongside the \u201cTigrovi\u201d 1<sup>st<\/sup> Guards Brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a glorious path of service is behind them, the members of the delegation told President Milanovi\u0107 that they regretted they were all but forgotten as a brigade and that very little is known about them in the public. In order to keep alive the memory of the unit, the 138<sup>th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade Club published two books that examine exhaustively and in great detail the days of the brigade\u2019s formation and its subsequent service on the battlefields of Lika. President Milanovi\u0107 thanked the members of the brigade for everything they have done for Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following individuals attended the meeting with President Milanovi\u0107: President of the 138<sup>th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade Club \u017deljko Sokol; wartime Commander of the 138<sup>th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade Miljenko Balen; Chief of Staff of the 138<sup>th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade Goran Nikovi\u0107; Political Activities Chief Dragutin Vrus; Communications Chief Tomo Vu\u010di\u0107; Commander of the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Battalion Miljenko Kauzlari\u0107; Logistics Officer Damir Ra\u010dki; Commander of the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Battalion Company Darko Kolenc; Commander of the Counterterrorism Platoon Milivoj Dikli\u0107; Logistics Officer \u2013 Combat Cameraman Valentin Ivan\u010di\u0107; war veteran Josip Lisac. Special Adviser to the President for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\u0107 was alongside President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4585-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4585-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4590-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4590-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4607-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4607-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4610-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4610-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4619-1024x731.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/DSC_4619-768x548.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Filip Glas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 received in his Office a delegation of the \u201cGoranski risovi\u201d 138th Croatian Army Brigade Club from Delnice, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the brigade\u2019s formation.
