President Milanović in Promina: Croatia’s experience with centres of power beginning with the letter B wasn't good
“Let us stand by our own and respect what belongs to others. Let us not indulge in fantasies about some supranational entity that will govern us all. Croatia’s experience with centres of power beginning with the letter B – Vienna [Beč], Berlin, Budapest and Belgrade – wasn't good. Brussels may be better than Belgrade, but let us think about where our heart is, where our mind is, and where our interests lie,” President Milanović concluded.
President Milanović Attends the Commemoration of the 160th Anniversary of the Battle of Vis: An Important Event in Croatian History
“The 160th anniversary of the Battle of Lissa is an important event in Croatian history. Had the Italians won that battle, how our story regarding the formation of the Croatian political nation in Dalmatia would have unfolded – without which Croatia does not exist, just as it does not exist without Slavonia – we will never know. Our people from the Croatian Adriatic, Dalmatians, participated in the battle. Thus, I am here for the first time with particular pleasure,” said President Milanović.
President Milanović to the Government: Leave General Kundid alone – if you have a problem with me, talk to me
“Leave General Kundid alone – if you have a problem with me, talk to me. The military operates on the basis of orders. A soldier knows what he is allowed to do and how he must behave in any given situation. A soldier carries out orders. When it comes to commanding the military, there is a Commander in Chief and there is a Chief of the General Staff,” told the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović.
