President: No Mistake in Strategy in Afghanistan, but in Planning and Executing

“This is not a mistake of the strategy, but a mistake of planning and executing. It’s been known for quite some time that (the United States) was leaving Afghanistan, Biden inherited what Trump left, and he too was in favour of withdrawing,” Milanović said, recalling that Croatia withdrew from Afghanistan over a year ago.

“I said in my election campaign that as the army supreme commander I would do that, the government did not object. It was clear that this needed to be wrapped up. I had the privilege of being one of those at the farewell ceremony for our soldiers in 2003 and in the end, the person who decided to end Croatia’s involvement in Afghanistan,” Milanović said.

Asked if Croatia should receive Afghan refugees, Milanović said that in his opinion refugees should go to the biggest countries.

“All of them should find their place in the United States. We can symbolically receive a small number of people. It is no longer 2015,” Milanovic said.

He said he would always accept a small number of people. “This is why I don’t understand and I cannot accept when someone says that we should accept noone. We need to be humane but also have our interests in mind;” the president said in Barban where he attended the 46th edition of the Prstenac tournament.
