We will be building ships and I will advocate that, so that we are as visible as possible. Here, we will conduct our own policies and those of NATO and our allies, but our policies too,\u201d said the Commander in Chief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know any case in recent history in which so many people owed so much to such a small number of people, Croatia\u2019s defenders in 1991 who came from a relatively poor, disarmed and pillaged country. We are referring to a few thousand people who held Croatia together during those times. Everlasting gratitude and glory to them, particularly those who were killed or wounded. To their families, we are eternally indebted,\u201d underscored the Croatian President. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the Guard Battalion from the Republic of Austria, who took part in the event, performed a ceremonial drill alongside the Honorary and Protection Battalion. The ceremony featured a symbolic awarding of berets and members of the Honorary and Protection Battalion were decorated, promoted and given incentives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a ceremony marking the 26th anniversary of the Honorary and Protection Battalion and Military Chaplaincy Day \u201cSaint Valentine\u201d at the 1st Croatian Guards Corps Barracks.      <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":934,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-1928","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
