Croatian President Zoran Milanović stated today in Skopje that Serbia should not worry about Croatia’s declaration of defense cooperation with Albania and Kosovo.
“I did not participate in the preparation and adoption of this document, but as the President of the country and the supreme commander of the armed forces, I support this memorandum. And in a way, I want to reassure neighboring countries, for example, Serbia, that there are no problems with it, or that there should not be. And Macedonia is in NATO, and that is enough,” Milanović said.
He said this at a joint press conference with the President of North Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska Davkova, when asked what his expectations were from the agreement on military cooperation between Croatia, Albania, and Kosovo, and whether North Macedonia had been invited.

“The agreement you mentioned is not an agreement, it is a declaration, or a memorandum. It is a document signed in the form of minutes by three defense ministers. From the perspective of the Croatian constitutional system, it does not meet the conditions to be an international agreement, but a declaration in a way, without any international legal consequences,” Milanović said.
“Here are my Croatia and Albania, NATO members, and Kosovo, our friendly country that is not yet recognized in the EU, and has not been admitted. If I represented (North) Macedonia, I wouldn’t even think about it. It is not an international agreement, but it is on the trajectory of Croatian foreign policy,” the Croatian President said.
Milanović, who is on an official visit to Skopje today, will also meet with North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski after his meeting with Siljanovska Davkova.
