The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 participated in a commemoration marking the 78th<\/sup> anniversary of the Italian-Chetnik massacre of the residents of Gata and outlying Poljice villages in the Omi\u0161 hinterland, after which he spoke to reporters and commented on the statement by Bakir Izetbegovi\u0107, who declined the President\u2019s invitation to meet with him, saying that the hierarchy should be respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI respect Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Mr. Izetbegovi\u0107 is being inconsistent because he met with the Croatian Prime Minister, who also received Dodik. I do not mind this and I am glad that he met with the Prime Minister. This is insincere, and it will not end well. Croatia has a way to peacefully yet persistently and, if you will, brazenly, obtain for one people in Bosnia and Herzegovina what simply belongs to it,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, adding that Bosnia and Herzegovina has been stagnating. \u201cWhen someone tells me that Bosnia and Herzegovina will enter NATO \u2013 I have a problem with accession to NATO by a country that is so out of joint,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 spoke about Dalija Ore\u0161kovi\u0107 and the ombudswoman for gender equality Vi\u0161nja Ljubi\u010di\u0107. \u201cThat is unfair. If you enter the ring, do not take a knife with you. Play fair and expect and be ready to be treated the way you treat others. Now, since you asked, I will read something to you, to show you what kind of language was used,\u201d said the President, who then read a sentence in which Dalija Ore\u0161kovi\u0107 said the following about the then-President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovi\u0107: \u201cWhat is her primary role? To ensure that the state authorities are coordinated in their actions? I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because of the false eyelashes or because she is not capable of performing her function, but it seems to me that her view of the actual situation in the country is somewhat blurred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After reading Dalija Ore\u0161kovi\u0107\u2019s statement, President Milanovi\u0107 said: \u201cWhen I used the word keener, not big mouth and self-pleasing, then that adjective certainly carries weight. There are no professional male keeners, but there are fiddlers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMourning women are insincere, they do what they do because they are expected to do it \u2013 I was thinking just that and I am glad that the ombudswoman for gender equality appeared … what\u2019s her name?\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 then asked reporters \u2013 who could not tell him or could not remember her name. \u201cThere are people who hold very important public posts, who were elected by the Croatian Parliament, but whose names both you and me, as the President of the Republic, cannot immediately recall. Her name is Vi\u0161nja Ljubi\u010di\u0107. Do you know since when she has been in that post? She was elected at the end of October 2011. She was elected to the post a few weeks after I became Prime Minister. She has been doing her job so intensively for eight years that I really do not know her name. I have not heard of this lady. In December 2019, she was appointed to another eight years in office, at your expense. She was again elected somehow. Her job is to react in situations such as the latest one. I am telling her that I did not insult anyone. But people coming to a wrestling match with a knife cannot not expect a response in kind, regardless of whether they are women or men. It\u2019s all the same. Do you want to be treated as an Amazon? Be prepared for that,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m drawing attention to how things are done in civilized countries, and then I guess I have the right to go far by a few steps, just to show you what this is all about. There are people who do their job conveniently, who are not fair,\u201d the President noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 commented on the visit of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Croatia: \u201cHe\u2019s coming to try and sell American planes. I\u2019m saying this, as the one who said that American goods should be a priority. He\u2019s coming now when the offers have practically been opened. In my opinion, nobody should talk to them about that. This is some kind of pressure. In ideal circumstances, the U.S. offer would be a priority but in this case the decision will be political,\u201d the President emphasized, adding that he is against considering offers from non-NATO countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questioned by reporters whether the topic of the 5G Internet network would be discussed at the meeting in Dubrovnik, since the U.S. is worried about the spread of China\u2019s influence and Huawei\u2019s participation in the building of 5G Internet networks in the world, President Milanovi\u0107 said: \u201cThis is our country, our rules apply here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
