Grabar Kitarovic criticises Bosnia from Israel: Checked by militant Islam

Bosnia and Herzegovina is controlled by militant Islam, which is dominant in defining agendas, Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic has said during his visit to Israel.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is very unstable, and in some respects is guided by people related to Iran and terrorist organisations”, Croatian President said, after meeting with Israel's president, Reuven Rivlin.

Shortly after that statement, the members of Bosnia and Herzegovina's tripartite presidency, Zelko Komsic and Sefik Dzaferovic, who stressed that the Croatian president makes claims without any evidence.

At the meeting between the Croatian president and his Israeli counterpart, it is also discussed the continuation of co-operation in the field of defence, security and fighting terrorism, writes The Jerusalem Post.

Kitarovic noted that her country is suffering from a migration problem, which is not entirely like that of most of Europe. She drew a contrast between migrants and refugees, saying that while Croatia was willing to provide asylum for refugees, migrants; who seek an improved lifestyle should not be at odds with international borders.

President Rilvin invited Chitarovqi to return to Israel at the end of January 2020, where he would be the host of world leaders to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. He told him that Israel and Croatia are looking towards the future without forgetting the past.
