On the occasion of Police Day, marked today, President Zoran Milanovi\u0107 presented retired and active members of the Ministry of the Interior (MUP) with decorations and honorary ranks. Among the recipients were former Minister of the Interior Ivan Jarnjak, former commander of the MUP Special Forces Mladen Marka\u010d, and the late commander of the Osijek police Josip Reihl-Kir, who was decorated posthumously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulating the officials of the Ministry of the Interior on Police Day, President Milanovi\u0107, in his address, first congratulated those who were decorated today. \u201cIt is difficult to say that some decorations are regular and others extraordinary, because in your work there is hardly anything regular. It is an extraordinary job \u2014 in its demands, in its challenges, and in its very nature. Those who deserved this long ago are receiving it today, and that is thanks to Mr. Jarnjak,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President also spoke about current proposals to introduce data controls in the name of security. \u201cThese are times when it has always been convenient and fitting for the powerful to strike at human rights and tell people what is good and safe for them, what is permitted and what is not. And that is always the challenge in democratic societies: freedom or security? To what extent can you \u2014 without undermining the architecture and stability of the entire building \u2014 encroach on human freedoms, and to what extent can you, and is it wise, to allow complete freedom that turns into disorder, chaos, and outright abuse?\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, adding that this is a major issue that we will have to discuss among ourselves, because \u201cthis is not a solution that artificial intelligence \u2014 which is itself one of the challenges \u2014 can offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe impression I brought back from America, from what I saw there, is one of disarray, something I had not seen before. And in that world, in that Europe, we live. We know where we belong, what our roots are, and what the Croatian police and army fought for thirty years ago \u2014 in a war and in conditions unprecedented in Europe, because no one else was left on their own, and Croatia was almost the entire time. There is little chance that something like what Croatia went through could happen again, and we must be aware of that in order to value ourselves,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that sense, he emphasized that Croatia, as a member of the European Union and NATO, knows where it belongs, but that in all important, internal, and sensitive matters it will first and foremost have to consult itself, not artificial intelligence. \u201cWe cannot run these policies on autopilot. And yes, in some matters we must be firm and self-interested, without thinking about what a third party has said, because we have no other bosses here,\u201d concluded President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Minister Ivan Jarnjak was awarded the Grand Order of King Petar Kre\u0161imir IV with Sash and Star, for his exceptional contribution to the creation of war strategy and military doctrine, his role in organizing the police units of the Republic of Croatia, and his notable achievements in their leadership and command. Mladen Marka\u010d and Davorin Pavlovi\u0107 were awarded the Order of Duke Branimir with Ribbon, for special merit in promoting the international standing and reputation of the Republic of Croatia and its relations with other states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, Police Day was also marked with congratulations from the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia, Davor Bo\u017einovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday we mainly reflected on the past year, and we rewarded many police officers who showed exceptional courage this year. We presented data that can be very encouraging when we talk about the efficiency of the Croatian police. For the fifth year in a row, it has maintained an average crime-solving rate of more than 70 percent, which is among the highest in Europe and beyond. By many measures, we are doing a very good job. However, we are aware of the challenges we face, especially those of a new era, such as the impact of social networks. We gave this special emphasis today, because it is clear to us that we will have to deal appropriately with these risks to the safety of our citizens, our guests, and above all our children, when it comes to social networks, in the period ahead,\u201d said Minister Bo\u017einovi\u0107, concluding: \u201cWe are here on this occasion to thank all those who laid the foundations of the Croatian police, including the many veterans who came from its ranks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of the decorated officials of the Ministry of the Interior, former Minister of the Interior Ivan Jarnjak expressed his gratitude. \u201cThank you for this recognition! It means a great deal to us. It means a lot because in this way we still feel worthy of what we created in the Homeland War,\u201d said Mr. Jarnjak, recalling that 760 members of the Ministry of the Interior were killed in the Homeland War, and that 20 are still listed as missing. \u201cThat is a very large number! No police force in the world has fought a war. At the beginning of the war, the police were the only armed and organized force \u2014 unprepared, physically and mentally, for waging war. And that is why we suffered more casualties at the very beginning,\u201d said the wartime Minister of the Interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI led the people I am proud of. I am proud of you as people, as police officers, as warriors, and today as retirees who were gladdened by this decoration. I urge all of you not to stop here. There are still many people who deserve it, who are not with us today, who have not received decorations but earned them through their work, and who should receive them,\u201d concluded Mr. Jarnjak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Davor Bo\u017einovi\u0107, the ceremony marking Police Day and the awarding of decorations at the Office of the President of the Republic was attended by the envoy of the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament, MP Ante Deur; the envoy of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Croatian Veterans, State Secretary at the Ministry of Croatian Veterans Zlatan Ba\u0161i\u0107; Deputy Director of the Security and Intelligence Agency Hrvoje Omr\u010danin; Head of the Office of the National Security Council Valentino Franji\u0107; Chief Fire Commander Slavko Tucakovi\u0107; Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces Lieutenant General Tihomir Kundid; Commander of the Croatian Army Major General Bla\u017e Beretin; Commander of the Dr. Franjo Tu\u0111man Croatian Defense Academy Major General Slaven Zdilar; Commander of the Operations Command Brigadier General \u017deljko Ljubas; Vicar General and envoy of the Military Bishop Mons. Ilija Jakovljevi\u0107; officials of the Ministry of the Interior; former Ministers of the Interior; Director General of the Police Nikola Milina, together with members of the Collegium of the Director General of the Police and heads of police departments; former Directors General of the Police; Croatian veterans and representatives of associations stemming from the Homeland War; as well as the organizers and winners of the \u201cShield of the Homeland 2025\u201d competition for the fittest police officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
