He talked about the recent crash of the unmanned aerial vehicle in Zagreb, underlining the importance of air defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was sheer luck that the incident of a few days ago did not end tragically when a foreign object crashed in our capital Zagreb, which stresses the importance of defense. It indicates that when you\u2019re not even in a position to prevent certain events, you have to do your utmost not to let hem happen. I would simply be at peace\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated. He repeated the need to invest in air defense. \u201cMy message, wish and demand to procure urgently for our Croatian air defense \u2013 in addition to what has already been decided to procure, acquire and gain, which I welcome \u2013 some systems that would guarantee us greater security\u201d, the President stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no absolute protection and no one has it. Nevertheless, certain things can be done for our consciences to be clear before our citizens and families, cities, villages and communities in that we have done everything. At the moment we haven\u2019t done everything and I\u2019m absolutely certain that we will in the near future, so that such events never happen again\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted, adding that there is no sense now in pointing a finger at anybody, and he is confident that there is no such person within Croatian ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Croatian state and Government, the Croatian political establishment as a whole, those who decide on the state finances, on the budget, must realize, and I believe they are, how important these things are \u2013 when events you don\u2019t wish occur \u2013 it\u2019s too late to turn back, to look for excuses and the guilty party. Things have to be considered thoroughly and one has to be proactive\u201d, the President said in concluding his address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the ceremony aside from the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces were the State Secretary in the Croatian Ministry of Defense and envoy of the Defense Minister Branko Hrg, the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Sini\u0161a Jurkovi\u0107, the Commander of the Croatian Air Force Brigadier General Michael Kri\u017eanec, and the Commander of the 93<sup>rd<\/sup> Wing of the Croatian Air Force Colonel Kre\u0161imir Ra\u017eov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the company of President Milanovi\u0107 were the Adviser to the President of the Republic for Defense and National Security Dragan Lozan\u010di\u0107 and the Special Adviser to the President for Homeland War Veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n
