Croatian President Milanović defends General Kundid in his emergency address

Croatian President Zoran Milanović made harsh statements regarding the current local and political tensions during an urgent and extraordinary press conference addressing the nation.

In his speech, this statement, followed minute by minute by the press and the public, has become the center of recent political debates in the country.

Milanović addressed accusations directed at high-level officials within the army and security forces, arguing that these claims were unfounded and politically motivated.

Criticizing the news reports about General Kundid, one of the hottest items on the agenda, and circles trying to create perception, Milanović stated that as an elected leader, he could not remain silent to this situation.

The main axis of his speech was his characterization of those unjustly targeting General Kundid as 'those playing games,' and he explained in detail the risks such approaches pose to both the justice system and national security.
