They were ambushed when they came to free their captured member, friend, companion and fellow combatant. They were met as if they came to kill. They didn\u2019t come to kill or set fires. This is a horrific event whose responsibility has yet to be established, and probably never will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After laying a wreath President Milanovi\u0107 addressed reporters and explained that today he wished to speak to the Head of the Municipality of Borovo, member of the SDSS (Independent Democratic Serbian Party), but was told that he hasn\u2019t got the time because the campaign is underway: \u201cI came here and he\u2019s hiding behind blinds. I came to tell him that the monument to \u0160o\u0161ko\u010danin here bothers me, because it is a monument to a killer who drowned in the Danube. It has been here for years and is actually a provocation and an insult to people. If I was able to fight for the rights of Serbs, then I can ask him what he\u2019s done about this matter. Cemeteries aren\u2019t private, but public property\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said and added that obviously they don\u2019t want to remove the monument to \u0160o\u0161ko\u010danin because the tension suits someone. \u201cThat\u2019s my question to the Head of the Municipality\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the wreath-laying ceremony along with the President of the Republic was the Chief of the General Staff of the Croatian Armed Forces Admiral Robert Hranj and the Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\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\/2021\/04\/DSC_1512.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1512.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\/04\/DSC_1553.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1553.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\/04\/DSC_1561.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1561.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\/04\/DSC_1567.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1567.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\/04\/DSC_1586.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1586.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('')\"><\/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\/04\/DSC_1600.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/DSC_1600.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Marko Beljan <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI came here and he\u2019s hiding behind blinds.
