The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 participated in the Extraordinary Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government, which focused on continued allied support to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the summit President Milanovi\u0107 spoke to Croatian journalists, who asked the President whether there were any discussions about the region and Bosnia and Herzegovina. \u201cThe region was discussed, Bosnia and Herzegovina as a country that is allegedly threatened, and Moldova and Georgia, but nobody mentioned Serbia and Kosovo. Serbia is a country that is not in the eastern flank. It has elections in a few days and I have the impression that it has been in a sort of identity crisis for a long time and has difficulty to comprehend that, ultimately, it is of little significance to Russia. For us, NATO and the EU, that is important because Serbia is negotiating. We want the country to be stable, with a clear prospect of the future in the West, we want an offer of that to be made a little more clearly in the current situation. That would certainly be an opportunity that should not be missed and eventually it would be up to them to decide. And Kosovo, which unfortunately has still not been recognized by four members for reasons that have long been either meaningless or outdated. I called on a more serious dialogue with Serbia so that we can finally integrate Kosovo and so it can fully become a state,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said after the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that for now it is not planned for Croatian soldiers to be sent to Hungary. \u201cThe decision has been signed and when the soldiers will go remains to be seen. Croatia will act very cautiously,\u201d the President said in response to a journalist\u2019s question on whether Croatian soldiers will become members of four new battlegroups in the eastern part of the alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCurrently, Croatia has no soldiers there. When and how many soldiers will go will be decided jointly, ultimately it will be decided by me or by Parliament,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said, replying to a journalist\u2019s question about sending Croatian soldiers to the alliance\u2019s eastern flank. \u201cIn the end, we manage these things and we decide when and how much. You can be calm, this is not an attack on a NATO member, this is an attack on the neighbourhood and the decision on sending soldiers will not be made by anyone but us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 confirmed that he discussed the crash of an unmanned aerial vehicle in Zagreb at the Extraordinary Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government, pointing out that some of the NATO officials were not even aware of the crash. \u201cSome did not know, you could tell from their reaction,\u201d he said, pointing out that he had explained to them the fact that the aerial vehicle flew over NATO territory for one hour before crashing. \u201cI also spoke with Prime Minister Orban. It happened and hopefully it won\u2019t happen again. But this is not a NATO matter, the first country should have reacted to that, and that country is Hungary. I think it won\u2019t happen again. I think they are extra cautious now,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answering questions from journalists, the President also spoke about the investigation into the crash of the unmanned aerial vehicle in Zagreb. \u201cThe State Attorney\u2019s Office has suddenly shown great interest in public interest. They kept silent for days while every HDZ fledgling interpreted in their own way what crashed in Zagreb and how much explosive it carried. Now I call on those who were harassing us for days with their versions of the event to address the public and tell us about the latest developments, so I don\u2019t have to do it,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said, adding that he expects the report of the Ivan Vu\u010deti\u0107 Forensic Science Centre to be published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe forensic report is the only relevant document. The State Attorney\u2019s Office is not in charge of the case because procedurally it was not known what to do with this case and against whom the investigation is being launched. This case is actually not for the State Attorney\u2019s Office, but then it issued a statement a week after the drone crash in order to protect someone. The investigation is ongoing. When people from the political leadership commented on the results of an ongoing investigation, an incomplete investigation and before a forensic report, the State Attorney\u2019s Office kept silent. I don\u2019t believe that the State Attorney\u2019s Office should be in charge of this case, a special commission should have been set up,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 also said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President added that information on the investigation was available to the Ministry of Defence, the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Minister of Defence Bano\u017ei\u0107, Prime Minister Plenkovi\u0107 and him. \u201cThey talk, I keep silent because I don\u2019t have the final findings,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 underscored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President confirmed that NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg\u2019s term had been extended for a year. \u201cThis may not be the time to change the Secretary General. I don\u2019t know who will succeed him, but if you want it to be someone from Croatia, then don\u2019t talk about it too much,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NATO Heads of State and Government issued a statement after the Extraordinary Summit in which they emphasized that they remain united and resolute in their determination to oppose Russia\u2019s aggression, aid the government and the people of Ukraine, and defend the security of all allies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
