Attending the meeting were representatives of the Association of the Croatian Homeland War Volunteers and Veterans of the Croatian Defence Council of Br\u010dko District, the Association of Families of Defenders, Killed and Missing in the Croatian Homeland War Ravne Br\u010dko, and the Association of Croatian Disabled Veterans of the Croatian Homeland War \u201cUdruga HVIDR-a Ravne Br\u010dko\u201d as well as the war commander of the 108<sup>th<\/sup> Infantry Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council Ravne Br\u010dko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The war commander of the 108<sup>th<\/sup> Infantry Brigade of the HVO Ravne Br\u010dko Ivo Filipovi\u0107 recalled the war record of the brigade founded in March 1992 in Bosanski Brod. The official date of the founding of the unit is considered 11 May 1992 therefore they announced to the President that a ceremony to mark the founding will be held in May. Speaking about the role of the Brigade of three Croatian and three Bosniak battalions, they underlined that in dire conditions they defended some thirty villages with 20,000 residents, and thanks to the Brigade Serbian forces were prevented from conquering the entire Municipality of Br\u010dko in the spring of 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though at first made up of Croats and Bosniaks, in early 1993 it was split into the 108<sup>th<\/sup> HVO Infantry Brigade Br\u010dko and the 215<sup>th<\/sup> Motorized Brigade of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the brigade was split, the 108<sup>th<\/sup> HVO Brigade was under constant pressure by the Bosniak political and military leadership to rename and be put under the control of the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Corps of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nonetheless, they managed to not only keep the features, the flag and the dignity of the Croatian people, but to avoid a conflict between the Croats and the Bosniaks in the Municipality of Br\u010dko until the end of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the war commander of the 108<sup>th<\/sup> Infantry Brigade of the HVO Ravne Br\u010dko, in attendance at the meeting were the president of the Association of Families of Defenders, Killed and Missing in the Croatian Homeland War Ravne Br\u010dko Ivo An\u0111elovi\u0107, the president of the Association of Croatian Disabled Veterans of the Croatian Homeland War \u201cUdruga HVIDR-a Ravne Br\u010dko\u201d &nbsp;Mirko Ze\u010devi\u0107-Tadi\u0107, the president of the Association of the Croatian Homeland War of the Croatian Defence Council of Br\u010dko District Anto Jerkovi\u0107, and the recipient of the Order of the Croatian Interlace Mijo Josipovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\u0107.<\/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\/2024\/02\/DSC_0030-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_0030-768x432.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\/2024\/02\/DSC_0074-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_0074-768x432.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\/2024\/02\/DSC_0107-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_0107-768x432.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\/2024\/02\/DSC_0129-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_0129-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Dario Andri\u0161ek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 held talks today with representatives of associations of Croatian Homeland War Volunteers and Veterans of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) of Br\u010dko District in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
