The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met in the Office of the President with the Heroes of Osijek Association representatives, who are members of the 130th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade, on the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of the formation of the Brigade from Osijek.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members of the Heroes of Osijek Association informed President Milanovi\u0107 of the circumstances in which the 130th<\/sup> Brigade of the Croatian Army was formed on the 25th<\/sup> of October 1991. In November of that year, after the fall of Vukovar, the Brigade found itself under attack by enemy troops whose goal was to intercept the Osijek-\u0110akovo highway and surround the city of Osijek. Wartime Commander of the Brigade \u017divko Miji\u0107 highlighted the courage of its members, thanks to which the aggression against Slavonia and Eastern Croatia was halted, and Osijek was successfully defended. Some 3,500 Croatian defenders passed through the ranks of the 130th<\/sup> Brigade, which suffered great casualties: 63 members were killed, 370 were wounded and 22 went missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The major contribution of the 130th<\/sup> Brigade\u2019s military engineers was also discussed at the meeting with the President. As was underscored by the wartime Chief of Engineering Zlatko Dernaj, who is today the Association\u2019s President, the Brigade was the first in Croatia to launch demining efforts to make agricultural and economic activity in the area of Osijek possible once again. More than 10,000 hectares of agricultural land belonging to the IPK Osijek enterprise were successfully demined, again enabling agricultural production. The village of Ivanovac and its entire surrounding area was cleared and demined, as were the northern and southern route of the transmission line to the Ernestinovo Power Station and the military training grounds in \u010cepin and Osijek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documentary \u201cHeroes of Osijek \u2013 130th<\/sup> Croatian Army Brigade\u201d was made about the Brigade and its heritage has been preserved and promoted for years by members of the Association. The representatives of the Association described the very successful multimedia exhibition \u201cOsijek under attack of brutal aggression\u201d as their paramount project, which was showcased not only throughout Croatia, but also in several European cities and the European Parliament in Brussels. The members of the Association also presented their plan for opening a museum in Osijek to President Milanovi\u0107 and asked for his support in its realization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following persons attended the meeting with the President of the Republic: former members of the 130th<\/sup> Croatian Army Osijek Brigade; members of the Heroes of Osijek Association; Commander of the 130th<\/sup> Croatian Army Osijek Brigade \u017divko Miji\u0107; Chief of Engineering and President of the Heroes of Osijek Association Zlatko Dernaj; RBHO Chief and Assistant Chief of Staff for Operations Milan Prpi\u0107; Chief of the Quartermaster Service Vladimir Cini; Commander of the Engineering Company Pavao Bradari\u0107; Brigade Command Officer Ivana He\u0107imovi\u0107; Military Engineers Dalibor Demeter, Ivica Govoru\u0161i\u0107, \u017deljko Dodig; General Affairs Officer of the Engineering Company Miroslav Pavrli\u0161ek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\u0107 was alongside President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
