The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a ceremony in Br\u010dko today marking the 32nd<\/sup> anniversary of the establishment of the 108th<\/sup> Ravne Br\u010dko Infantry Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO). Prior to the ceremony in the Croatian Cultural Centre \u201cNapredak\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 paid tribute to all the fallen defenders by laying a wreath and lighting a candle at the memorial to the 108th<\/sup> Infantry Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council in Br\u010dko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou defended Bosnia and Herzegovina, you defended your home. You defended it along with all those who were ready and brave enough to defend it \u2013 Bosniaks, presumably with some Serbs too who live together in this town and try to forget or do not dwell on events of the past and build a normal and better life. I fully support you in doing so, life must go on\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said in his address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 noted that Bosnia and Herzegovina must survive as a state, be satisfied and self-sufficient. \u201cAnd the means to achieve this goal \u2013 membership in international associations, in the European Union \u2013 will be decided by the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If it is and if they feel it\u2019s good for them they have act together to achieve it. Those solutions cannot come for outside\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of the Homeland War, he said it was difficult, and the conflict between Croats and Bosniaks, in his view, was one of the biggest disasters of that war, and a disaster for Croatian national interests. \u201cThat misfortune and horrendous outcome was avoided here. It was prevented in Tuzla and in Br\u010dko that is why we are here today. This is one nation, a nation made up of several peoples and if they can live here then they can live throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina\u201d, he stated and added that Croats and Bosniaks must be clever, must take responsibility, show foresight and be sceptical based on the experience of \u201993 and \u201994 when they were smart enough not to enter a conflict and unnecessary misunderstandings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday that danger no longer exists. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country that has no real weapons which is good. A war does not threaten Bosnia and Herzegovina despite the hot heads, that won\u2019t happen. But what is equally dangerous for Bosnia and Herzegovina is stagnation, lagging behind and being idle while the world is moving forward\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated in concluding his address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the occasion of the 32nd<\/sup> anniversary of the establishment of the Croatian Defence Council held this April in Knin, President Milanovi\u0107 bestowed the Order of Nikola \u0160ubi\u0107 Zrinski upon the 108th<\/sup> Ravne Br\u010dko Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council for the demonstrated prowess of its members in the Homeland War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the ceremony apart from President Milanovi\u0107 were the war commanders of the 108th<\/sup> Ravne Br\u010dko Infantry Brigade of the Croatian Defence Council Ivo Filipovi\u0107 and Martin Fran\u010de\u0161evi\u0107, the Adviser and delegate of the Defence Minister of the Republic of Croatia Major General \u017deljko \u017divanovi\u0107 and the State Secretary in the Ministry of Croatian Defenders, the delegate of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia and of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Croatian Defenders \u0160piro Janovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Special Adviser to the President for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
