Quarrel continues: Milanović's Office responds to Plenković's claims of not knowing 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 Internal Affairs about the arrival of RS President Milorad Dodik in Hvar for a meeting with Croatian President Zoran Milanović, stating that Prime Minister Andrej Plenković is manipulating when he claims otherwise.

Plenković said today that he did not know about Dodik's arrival in Hvar the day before yesterday and that the Ministry of Internal Affairs also did not have information about it "in the way it would be normal", and that there was no appropriate diplomatic note.

"Prime Minister Andrej Plenković complained today that he did not know about the arrival of RS President Milorad Dodik in Croatia, specifically in Hvar, where he held a working meeting with President Milanović. Expected from him, but still insolent manipulation," according to the statement signed by the spokesperson of the President's Office, Nikola Jelić.

It states that the President's Office informed the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Croatia, i.e., the competent Border Administration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, about Dodik's arrival.

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 RS leader Milorad Dodik. Plenković emphasizes that he now expects an urgent initiative from the opposition to convene a

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs acted according to procedure, ensured and carried out border control upon Mr. Dodik's arrival in Croatia, as he was coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is not a Schengen member. Therefore, everything was according to procedure.

And then Andrej Plenković says that he does not know what the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows, a ministry that is completely controlled by the HDZ. This is truly an insult to common sense, because Andrej Plenković has privatized and subordinated almost all state institutions to himself, which we witness daily.

To believe that the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not inform Andrej Plenković about Milorad Dodik's arrival in a situation where that information even reached parts of the media - who were waiting with cameras in Hvar - can only be believed by someone naive and uninformed about his governing model.

The model that judicial officials and employees, whom Andrej Plenković arrogantly exhausted and refused, were the last to experience firsthand, just to show everyone who is the one who decides everything," conclude the President's Office.
