“Thanks to you, the Republic of Croatia has once again proved its readiness to participate in the joint defence system with its allies and partners, confirming its active contribution to peace and stability not only in this area but far beyond its borders,” Defence Minister Mario Banožić said welcoming the troops, according to a press release from the ministry.
The majority of the 8th contingent comprised members of the Guards armoured-mechanised brigade. It served in the US-led Battle Group together with personnel from the United Kingdom and Romania.
