President Milanović at Croatian Defence Academy: In times of confusion in Europe, we should focus on our own interests
The President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović participated today in the celebration marking the 34th anniversary of the “Dr. Franjo Tuđman” Croatian Defence Academy. “In these times of confusion in Europe, and a drama that is still waiting for catharsis in Ukraine, where thousands of soldiers have died, we can only hope that there will be more reason. I do not want Croatian politicians and leaders to be among the guilty or the responsible, as there is no need for that. We should focus on our own affairs and interests, and avoid pushing ourselves into any ‘coalitions of the willing’ – what is the point of NATO then?” President Milanović said in his speech at the Academy.
