Milanovic previously stated that the HVO, together with the Croatian Army, under the leadership of the Croatian Army, under joint command, based on the international agreement signed in Split between Croatian President Franjo Tudjman andPresident of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Alija Izetbegovic, “liberated BiH and made it possible for it to be a free country, a country in which war was finally ended”.
“Not only that it is forgotten today, but is very brazenly and systematically underestimated, and Croatia, as usual, is charged with complexes of guilt and responsibility, instead of saying thank you, may it never happen again,” Milanovic noted, Klix.ba reports.
