We proposed this directly to the organizer, the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia, i.e. the ministry headed by Prime Minister Plenkovi\u0107\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister, Davor Bo\u017einovi\u0107. The Ministry of the Interior rejected our proposal and decided that there would be no joint wreath laying of the state leadership, using the \u201cepidemiological situation\u201d to justify its decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start exposing Plenkovi\u0107\u2019s lie with the following: Using the \u201cepidemiological situation\u201d to justify its decision, the Ministry of the Interior informed the President of the Republic on 22 March 2021 that homage at Plitvice Lakes will be given by the \u201csuccessive arrivals of the delegations,\u201d which would be \u201cagreed at Protocol level\u201d (Document 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, on 25 March 2021, the Protocol of the President of the Republic proposed to the Ministry of the Interior \u201ca joint wreath of the state leadership, if the laying of wreaths and lighting of candles would be attended by the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia\u201d (Document 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That same day, the Ministry of the Interior responded by ignoring the proposal for a joint wreath and \u2013 with another reference to the epidemiological situation \u2013 announced that the arrival of the delegations in succession would be organized (Document 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSince we did not receive a response to our proposal, does that mean that the proposal of the President of the Republic was rejected?\u201d, inquired the Protocol of the President again in its memo to the Ministry of the Interior (Document 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of the Interior ultimately responded by saying that they were sticking to their decision to lay the wreaths successively, according to their schedule, and concluded: \u201cWe were guided by nothing but the aforementioned in our decision that a joint state wreath should not be laid, but that each institution (should lay a wreath) separately\u201d (Document 5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As is already known, the President of the Republic had previously proposed a joint wreath laying of the state leadership when major anniversaries and holidays are celebrated in Croatia. This should have been self-evident today as well \u2013 by default, as Plenkovi\u0107 should also understand it \u2013 because it is the proper thing to do and worthy of the day that is being marked. But no, Plenkovi\u0107 did otherwise; he came and quickly left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also saw how two-faced Plenkovi\u0107 was through his lies and \u201ccompliance\u201d with epidemiological measures, after he crammed about a dozen officials into his delegation, including Minister Bo\u017einovi\u0107 \u2013 that same minister who refused to organize a joint wreath laying of the state leadership for epidemiological reasons. Yet the three highest officials \u2013 the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister and Speaker of Parliament \u2013 could not comprise one delegation.<\/p>\n\n\n        <!--DOCUMENT DOWNLOAD BLOCK-->\n        <div class=\"c-document-download-block\">\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Dokumenti-1-5.pdf\" class=\"c-document-download-block__link u-b0\" data-no-swup>\n\t\t\t\tDokumentacija             <\/a>\n\n            <div class=\"c-document-download-block__meta u-b4\">\n                <span class=\"c-document-download-block__type u-capitalize\">pdf<\/span>\n                <span class=\"c-document-download-block__size\">213.48 Kb<\/span>\n            <\/div>\n\n        <\/div>\n        <!--end DOCUMENT DOWNLOAD BLOCK-->\n\t\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\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00001.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00001.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\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00002.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00002.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\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00003.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00003.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\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00004.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00004.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\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00005.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/20210331150101_00005.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to public interest and for the sake of providing truthful information to the public about today\u2019s commemoration marking the 30th anniversary of Operation Plitvice, we must assert that Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 is lying again \u2013 and we will prove it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6524,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-8570","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
