The reason the Brigade was founded was to protect the Croats in the Tuzla area and neighbouring municipalities of \u017divinice, Lukavac, Lopare and Banovi\u0107i. Before the war around 40 thousand Croats lived there, mostly in the rural areas. The commanders of the 115<sup>th<\/sup> HVO Brigade Zrinski, which had up to 3,000 defenders while it was active, noted that they defended the Croatian people and areas. Forty-eight of their members were killed, six-four were seriously and one hundred and thirty-seven slightly wounded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The commanders recalled attempts and pressure to transform the 115<sup>th<\/sup> HVO Brigade Zrinski into a unit of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They successfully resisted and the Brigade, until it was disbanded, was under the direct command of the General Staff of the HVO and kept its identity. Although there was tension in relations with the Bosniaks on account of this, there were no conflicts, which the Brigade commanders consider important for the Croats of that part of BiH. They are, however, not pleased that even today in Tuzla there are attempts to diminish their Brigade\u2019s war merits in the war in BiH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to preserve the truth and recall the merits of the 115<sup>th<\/sup> HVO Brigade Zrinski, the war commanders announced a celebration on the occasion of its founding in May this year in Tuzla, and invited President Milanovi\u0107 to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Special Adviser to the President 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_2087-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_2087-768x512.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_2091-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_2091-768x512.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_2107-1024x682.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_2107-768x512.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_2116-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/DSC_2116-768x512.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 \/ Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 received today the war commanders of the 115th Croatian Defence Council (HVO) Brigade Zrinski Tuzla, Brigade war commander Zvonko Juri\u0107, Brigade war chief of staff Milenko Horvati\u0107, Brigade head of security Niko Juri\u0107, and Battalion war commander Anto Tomi\u0107.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28436,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-28438","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
