He may not be making any friends in his own government, but Croatian President Zoran Milanovic is identifying the true culprit in the drive for war against Russia: Her Majesty’s government in London. In statements reported by Euractiv, Milanovic argued that there is no European or EU stability without Russia: “Russia is a factor in that equation, and we should have an agreement with Russia,” he said. Milanovic accused Britain of “inciting” and believes that pushing Ukraine towards the confrontation with Russia is “irresponsible.”
Milanov reportedly snubbed U.K. Defense Secretary Ben Wallace when he stopped in Zagreb earlier this week. When asked why, he told journalists he does not meet with defense ministers. “I don’t even know the name of this one. I meet possibly with those of foreign affairs, possibly Russia, America. I have nothing to talk to the ministers, especially the United Kingdom. I do not meet with the defense ministers except the superpowers. The U.K. has left the EU, and this gives it less importance,” the President said.
