In the town of Vrbanj, at the location where a local resident died while attempting to save his house and excavator, President Milanovi\u0107 said that extinguishing the fire, which erupted in the area the day before, was another example of a good and fast reaction by the local firefighters, and added: \u201cIf only the man who tried to save his property had not died. I call on all people who find themselves in a situation like this one to put themselves and their families first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congratulating the local firefighters and residents of the island, President Milanovi\u0107 also mentioned the firefighters who came on the island to help. \u201cThe team from Imotski, that is, from Lovre\u0107 that I saw, the firefighters who came to help. These are the right kind of people. The blaze in the forest needed to be put out, but firefighting planes have a limited ability to act there. When firefighting planes dispose the water, it\u2019s the treetops that get wet, and the fire below stays. So, people are needed,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked by journalists if we were adequately prepared for the fire season, President Milanovi\u0107 said that on the islands the first two or three hours are the most critical, as they depend solely on the islanders\u2019 reaction. \u201cThey proved themselves as brave professionals in this regard. These are natural disasters. It would be best if all six firefighting planes that we have were operational during the fire season, but that won\u2019t happen. The government is responsible for that, (Minister) Bano\u017ei\u0107. There are no hangars for the helicopters we get as a donation; we keep them out in the rain. At the start of the fire season, four out of six firefighting planes are in service. I don\u2019t understand why it\u2019s not at least five,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, adding that he is not interested in whether the Ministry of Defense has paid for the repair of the aircraft in advance and that he is only interested in whether the work has been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the delay in the construction of a series of coastal patrol vessels contracted for the Ministry of Defense, President Milanovi\u0107 said that the tender was won by a Croatian shipyard. \u201cSeven years have passed and only one ship has set sail. I have not been responsible for this since January 2016. And it was not a bogus project. It was a real project, it received financing and the ships were designed. A Croatian shipyard which ran into difficulties was given the job, but I am not interested in that. The Ministry of Defense must have and has instruments to deal with such matters so that the army, that is, the navy and the coast guard get what they want. This is not a job well done,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the company of Mayor Antonio \u0160karpa of Stari Grad, President Milanovi\u0107 met and spoke with the fire chiefs and firefighters who fought the major blaze, including Chief Fire Commander Slavko Tucakovi\u0107, Vice President of the Split-Dalmatia County Firefighting Association Mate Jeli\u010di\u0107 and Commander of the Hvar Volunteer Fire Department and the Hvar Operational Area Nikola \u0160kare.<\/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\/2022\/08\/DSC_3814-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_3814-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_3858-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_3858-1-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_3883-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_3883-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_3949-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_3949-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_4030-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_4030-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_4052-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_4052-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_4072-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_4072-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_4236-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_4236-768x432.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\/2022\/08\/DSC_4255-1024x819.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/DSC_4255-768x614.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 visited today the area of Vrbanj \u2013 Dol near Stari Grad on the island of Hvar that was affected by a wildfire. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18693,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-18703","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
