In brief
Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković blamed President Zoran Milanović's policies for Croatia's absence from the EU mission training Ukrainian troops, saying its military was missing opportunities for cooperation.
Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković criticised his country's absence from EUMAM, the European Union mission that trains Ukrainian troops, according to UNIAN, citing Croatian news agency Hina. He attributed the absence primarily to President Zoran Milanović's policies.
Plenković described Croatia's exclusion from military cooperation supporting Ukraine as a serious shortcoming. He said remaining on the sidelines ran counter to the wishes of the Croatian government and the expectations of its general staff.
UNIAN also reported that Milanović, who is commander-in-chief of Croatia's armed forces, had withheld consent for participation in NATO's NSATU mission supporting Ukraine.
The prime minister praised Ukrainian forces' training, adaptability and combat experience as reasons to pursue cooperation. The UNIAN report did not include a response from Milanović to his criticism.
