Croatian President Zoran Milanovic, speaking at a briefing, threatened to veto Finland and Sweden's accession to NATO. He already made a similar statement last week, calling the prospect of Stockholm and Helsinki joining the alliance «dangerous quackery.»
The Pentagon is not ready to talk about security guarantees for Sweden and Finland»Who says I'm a Russian agent? I have nothing to do with Russia. When the boss of Gazprom came to Zagreb, he didn’t get anything from me. I’m not afraid of either Russians or Ukrainians, I can easily deal with threats,” the Croatian president said this time. Journalists again raised the topic of Finland and Sweden joining NATO.
"This unexpected question arose like rain in the spring, no one expected <…> At the NATO summit, I will veto the invitation if it is at that level,” Milanovic said.
Milanovic once again called for changing the electoral legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in favor of the Bosnian Croats and demanded that the Croatian Parliament not ratify the accession Finland and Sweden until the problems in the Balkans are resolved. Earlier, he spoke about other unresolved issues in the region: the non-accession of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen zone, the postponement of negotiations on the entry into the EU of Albania and North Macedonia, the non-recognition of the self-proclaimed Kosovo. In a characteristic manner, the Croatian president noted that he did not demand that Finland and Sweden «rename themselves IKEA», but called on the Americans to solve the problems listed. «Unprecedented Aggression».
