Milanović and Plenković continue to clash over Dodik's helicopter flight

(Patria) - The office of the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, once again commented today on the visit of the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, to Croatia.

As proof that they duly and timely informed about his arrival, they published an email sent by the President's Office to the Border Administration of the Croatian Ministry of the Interior on May 24.

According to the statement, the aforementioned email unequivocally shows that the Office provided the Ministry of the Interior with a letter received from Dodik's cabinet, containing all the necessary information.

Plenković asks Milanović to explain Dodik's unannounced visit to Croatia

(Patria) - Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković says he was not informed about the unannounced meeting between President Zoran Milanović and Republika Srpska leader Milorad Dodik. Plenković emphasizes that he now expects an urgent opposition initiative to convene

The President's Office requested the Ministry of the Interior to ensure border control, which the Ministry did, the statement said.

"In order to remove any doubt that the Office of the President of the Republic duly and timely informed the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia about the arrival of the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, to Croatia, we are also publishing the proof: an email sent by the Office's Protocol to the Border Administration of the Ministry of the Interior on May 24, the day before Mr. Dodik's planned working visit.

The aforementioned email unequivocally shows that the Office provided the Ministry of the Interior with a letter received from Mr. Dodik's Cabinet, containing all the necessary data. Likewise, the Office requested the Ministry of the Interior to ensure border control, which the Ministry did.

At the same time, we are publicly bringing the same proof to the attention of Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, knowing that he tends to pretend to be uninformed and that he is accustomed to arbitrarily deciding what is and what is not a topic depending on his and HDZ's interests, actually manipulating.

Just as the identification and sanctioning of those responsible in the gas affair is still not a topic for him, as he said yesterday, thinking that the gas affair will disappear by going into the shade of Villa Costabella. But it won't, it will wait for him.

The argument continues: Milanović's Office responds to Plenković's claims that he didn't know about Dodik's visit to Croatia

(Patria) - The Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia announced today that it had informed the Ministry of the Interior about the arrival of the President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, to Hvar for a meeting with Croatian President Zoran Milanović, stating that Prime Minister Andrej Plenković is manipulating

Regarding Mr. Dodik's helicopter flight to Hvar, i.e., the procedure for arranging and approving the flight, that procedure, according to the law, is exclusively within the jurisdiction of the Croatian Air Navigation Services.

The Office was not and could not be involved in the approval and organization of the flight in any way," the statement from Milanović's Office said.
