General Ante Roso is posthumously decorated for his exceptional contribution to the creation of the war strategy and military doctrine, his merit in the development of the Armed Forces and his outstanding achievements in conducting and commanding Croatian Armed Forces units. The decoration was received by his widow, Christine Roso, at a ceremony held in the Office of the President of the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am fulfilling a debt of honour to General Roso and awarding this high Croatian decoration to him\u201c, President Milanovi\u0107 stated. If it weren\u2019t for people like General Roso, possibly things could have looked different. Croatia first had to be defended, then liberated, and in all of this, General Roso made a huge contribution with his work on creating the Croatian Army, then by leading the Croatian Army and the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Unfortunately, his passing is premature and this decoration is a symbolic way not to forget him, and we won\u2019t forget him; and to remember him as a great Croatian warrior\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He recalled that \u201cGeneral Roso was among those who created the Croatian Army, personally going about Croatia looking for future fighters, members of the special \u201cZrinski\u201d unit. &nbsp;\u201cIf the Croatian Army was a large river at the end of the Homeland War with many tributaries that overwhelmed the enemy, then General Roso definitely was the water from the source\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 added who decorated General Roso on the recommendation of friends, commanders, comrades-in-arms and generals from the Homeland War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanking for the decoration awarded posthumously on behalf of the family of the late General Ante Roso was his comrade-in-arms retired Croatian Army Lieutenant Colonel, \u017doni Maksan. Attending the ceremony of the presentation of the posthumous decoration besides family members: widow Christine Roso, son Ante-Louis Roso and brothers Ivan and Jure Roso, were his closest associates and friends An\u0111elko Gelo, \u017doni Maksan, Mara Rimac Juki\u0107, Nediljko Kadija and Bruno Markovi\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\/2025\/11\/DSC_5988-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_5988-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6011-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6011-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6045-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6045-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6051-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6051-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6103-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6103-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6123-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6123-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6133-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6133-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6144-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6144-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6151-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6151-768x432.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\/2025\/11\/DSC_6158-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DSC_6158-768x432.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 \/ Filip Glas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 awards posthumously the Grand Order of King Petar Kre\u0161imir IV with Sash and Star to General Ante Roso.
