The President of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, sent a statement in which he says that he considers it impossible for the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to come to Croatia, and for that reason he decided to cancel the Brdo-Brioni Process summit.
“The Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Slovenia, as members of the European Union, initiated the Brdo-Brioni Process with the aim of improving mutual cooperation and accelerating the EU integration process of the countries of Southeast Europe. The meeting of the heads of state of the Brdo-Brioni Process this year was supposed to take place in May in Croatia,” writes Rks News.
“The political statements and actions of the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, that we have witnessed in recent days and weeks are completely contrary to the purpose of the Brdo-Brioni Process, damage inter-state relations, and endanger peace and stability in Southeast Europe.”
President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanović considers that under such circumstances there are no conditions, and it is not possible for the President of the Republic of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, to come to the Republic of Croatia.
As co-chair of the Brdo-Brioni Process, President Milanović decided to cancel the planned meeting in Croatia, and the heads of state who were supposed to participate in the Brioni meeting have been informed. The next meeting of the heads of state of the Brdo-Brioni Process will be held when conditions are created for it, after consultations between President Milanović and the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Nataša Pirc Musar, as co-chairs of the Brdo-Brioni Process,” Milanović announced.
Vučić accuses Croatia of interfering in elections in Serbia
We remind that the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, stated after last night’s local elections, which were marked by numerous incidents, that he will check reports from security agencies regarding the influence of foreign countries on the elections.
Commenting on claims by regime media about foreign influence on yesterday’s local elections, Vučić mentioned logistical support from a neighboring country, reports Rks News.
Answering a question from journalists about the alleged presence of cars with Croatian license plates on election day in Kula, Vučić announced that he will soon present more information. “Regarding yesterday’s elections, it was clear to me what kind of logistical support was provided by a neighboring country. But in the coming period, I will receive more detailed reports and then share them with you,” said Vučić.
He emphasized that he receives such reports daily from multiple sources. “Primarily from the Military Security Agency and the Security-Information Agency, but also from services dealing with counterintelligence protection of our facilities and our military personnel,” he explained.
Vučić: I informed Putin about the Zagreb, Pristina, and Tirana alliance
Earlier today, he also said that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Vučić stated that, besides extending the gas contract, he discussed other topics with Putin, and mentioned that Putin also asked about Kosovo and Metohija and Republika Srpska, and they exchanged views on all important issues.
“I also informed him about the Zagreb, Prishtina, and Tirana alliance, and we discussed all topics,” Vučić said in a statement at the Presidency.
