(5 years ago)Croatia's President Zoran Milanovic attended the ceremony of sending the armed forces to the Republic of Kosovo, within KFOR troops. He said that members of the Croatian Army “will work in a state Croatia has recognised” and is close to. “It's delicate, but I believe it's not [...]
It's delicate, but I think it's not dangerous. Some will welcome you there as best friends, others at no time”, Milanvic said at the military barracks in Nashice, writes Croatian news agency Hina, Translation Express.
The Croatian contingent consists of 130 soldiers, six of them women.
According to a statement from his cabinet, Milanovic told members of the contingent that they are not beginners and that they should behave properly and show what they know.
“Always think about it, regardless of NATO membership, that we are a Western democracy, a member of the European Union, part of an alliance of countries that share many common values that you are primarily the Croatian Army and that this army should always maintain the integrity, interest and awareness of serving the homeland above all. We will not allow ourselves to be a point of wine in that huge water barrel, which will lose its identity, self and awareness of what serves him and you serve the protection of the Croatian homeland”, Milanvic concluded.
Croatian Armed Forces have been participating in the NATO mission, KFOR, in Kosovo since July 2009.
