ZAGREB, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) — Croatian President Zoran Milanovic on Monday said Croatian troops will not take part in "foreign wars," referring to the conflict in Ukraine.

“Croatia is a member of the European Union and NATO and is bound exclusively by the obligations arising from membership in these blocs,” Z. Milanovic said in his publication on social networks.

He stressed that Croatia has no obligations arising from political or military agreements between the leaders of the states of the so-called “coalition of the willing.” According to him, the Croatian government is not authorized to involve the country in any new coalitions that could provide for the deployment of Croatian troops on Ukrainian territory.

Z. Milanovic has repeatedly spoken out against sending Croatian troops to Ukraine. He has also accused the United States and NATO of waging a proxy war against Russia through Ukraine and criticized Western sanctions against Russia, calling them “absurd” and “useless.”

In July of this year, Z. Milanovic called on Western leaders to resume dialogue with Russia in order to help end the conflict. –0–
