Serbia is a security problem for Europe, as confirmed by the attitude towards the convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić. The EC only reacted more strongly after the warning from the Croatian prime minister. I asked him if he understands the situation and whether respect for the verdicts and victims should be a condition for membership. (translated)

10 million € for farmers for autumn planting, 20 million € for fisheries, and assistance for firewood for 60,000 households. As part of the 11th package of measures to protect households and the economy from rising prices, worth 260 million €, the government continues to support citizens and farmers. (translated)

On the Danube fields of the BC Institute, it has once again shown how important domestic knowledge and seed are for Croatian agriculture. Seeds produced in Croatia are GMO-free, and a strong domestic seed sector means greater food security and less dependence on imports. (translated)

While some Serbian politicians mourn the death of Ratko Mladić, let's remember: he died as a legally convicted war criminal. He was never held accountable for crimes in Croatia before an international court – from Kyiv and Šibenik to Peruća and Zadar. We should mourn his victims, not the criminal! (translated)

From the extraordinary session of the Parliament, I expect clear answers: what has been done, what are the deadlines, and what are the next steps in the waste remediation in Gospić. Without politicization – the priority is the health of people and the environment. A systematic solution is also needed for similar cases throughout Croatia. (translated)

I call for the urgent remediation of waste in Lika, in full compliance with the law, and for the identification and sanctioning of all those responsible for this ecocide. It is necessary to identify all who participated in this, as well as those who knew about this ecocide and did not report it. (translated)

In 1991, Croatia fought on the battlefield, where Croatian defenders defended the Homeland from aggression, and in front of the world, where it was necessary to fight against false news and disinformation, at a time when the international community had not yet recognized us. Gordan Lederer chose Croatia! (translated)

Gordan Lederer chose 35 years ago to stay where it was hardest and record what was happening in Croatia. His recordings remain a testimony to the struggle of Croatian defenders and the people for freedom. He showed what Croatia means to him. It is up to us to show what it means to us. (translated)

The sale of the 21st Corps of Kordun on August 8, 1995, marked the end of the combat activities of the Operation Storm, and thus this victorious operation was brought to a close. That moment has remained permanently recorded in Croatian history. It was a moment of victory, but also a moment that showed what kind of winner we were! (translated)

The sale of imported long-lasting milk at €0.45 undermines the position of domestic producers and raises the issue of unfair trading practices. Urgent control of production and purchase prices, origin, traceability, and quality is needed. The destruction of Croatian production threatens food security. (translated)

"Saint Benedict is not the protector of Europe because of its borders, but because of its soul." Pope Paul VI declared him the protector of Europe in 1964, recognizing his exceptional contribution to shaping European Christian culture and civilization. (translated)

Today, with reverence, we remember the victims of the genocide in Srebrenica. Croatia, which carries the painful experience of Vukovar and suffering in the Homeland War, knows how important peace, truth, and the dignity of each victim are. That is why we keep the memory alive so that hatred and crimes against the innocent never happen again. (translated)

With sorrow, we remember more than 8,000 Bosniak men and boys killed in the genocide in Srebrenica in 1995. Srebrenica obliges us to preserve the truth, nurture the culture of remembrance, and decisively reject hatred, violence, and denial of crimes. May it never happen again, anywhere. (translated)

Today, I officially completed the War School "Ban Josip Jelačić" after ten months of intense work, learning, and sacrifice. I am proud to be the first female representative in the Croatian Parliament who has completed this demanding education. I will continue to use the knowledge gained for a stronger Croatia. (translated)

As many as 388 million Christians in the world suffer some form of persecution because of their faith. The organization Open Doors presented to me the Christian Persecution Index, and we talked about the state of religious freedom and the importance of concrete help, including a scholarship program for young persecuted Christians. (translated)

Let’s respect food and the people who produce it for our tables. By choosing domestic and locally produced, we strengthen food security, preserve Croatian villages, agriculture, rural areas, and the environment. (translated)

At the conference FOOD 2030 – Prices, security, future, I emphasized that food security must become an integral part of national security. Food is necessary for all of us, and without domestic producers, there is no stable food supply. (translated)

The European Green Deal can only be an opportunity if sustainability does not mean a drop in food production, but rather strengthening resilience, competitiveness, and self-sufficiency. Without agricultural producers, there is no sustainable agriculture, and without food, there is no national security. (translated)

The question is whether today the walls of Dubrovnik would proudly stand above Dubrovnik if Croatian defenders had not defended it in the Homeland War. Therefore, the walls are not only a stone witness of history, but also a lasting reminder of the courage and sacrifice of those who preserved our freedom. 🇭🇷 (translated)

Only when you get into the Canadair and hear the experiences of the pilots do you become aware of how much knowledge, bravery, and precision is behind each of their flights and firefighting efforts. I am proud of the members of the Croatian Air Force who protect people, property, and our homeland with their work. (translated)
