\u201cA candidate for president of the Supreme Court is Mirta Mati\u0107, a person I feel is completely up to the job. She applied for the post after also speaking to Plenkovi\u0107,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 stated today, confirming Mirta Mati\u0107 as candidate for president of the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since the Prime Minister previously agreed to her candidacy, the President wondered what the real point of the public call for candidates was. \u201cWe simulate a public call, and basically, we use the same methods that have been in force for 30 years and that are in accordance with the Croatian Constitution, namely that the president proposes. The president does not propose just anyone that comes to mind, but we hold consultations\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 explained. \u201cThis time even the Supreme Court voted very convincingly in favour of this individual\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Milanovi\u0107 further commented on the reintroduction of mandatory basic military training. \u201cAs many European states, our Constitution mentions conscientious objection, and that is a huge barrier to the kind of recruitment that used to exist. We will see how much sense the whole model makes. I hope it makes sense, because I am a Croatian citizen, the Croatian president and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces, and it bothers me that the Croatian Army is severely understaffed. Many officer and NCO positions are unfilled because we don\u2019t have the people. The job of the military is to defend, deter, and wage war, and that can’t be done without people\u201c, President Milanovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI accept all Plenkovi\u0107 has proposed and I even accepted that he proposed three quarters of all posts. I didn’t want to look around for candidates and this seemed like a good compromise. Those I proposed and stand behind are the minority, I left most of the posts to him, expecting the agreement to be routine\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated in his response to a journalist\u2019s question as to how talks are progressing regarding the selection of new ambassadors. \u201cSomeone doesn’t want any agreement so they make up stories about the candidates. If the candidates I proposed are irrelevant, then we will analyze whom you proposed, and I will conclude that your candidates are even more than irrelevant\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted, repeating that he accepts everything the Prime Minister has put on the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
