“I think that anyone who advocates NATO expansion to Ukraine threatens Croatian interests as well.

Because we are in NATO, and someone can send our people there,” he told reporters during a trip to the city of Pozhega.

NATO has advanced enough to the east of Europe, Milanovic said.

“I’ve been looking at this all my life, all my damn life, that’s enough.

While I am president, I am in favor of NATO not expanding any more, ”RIA Novosti quotes him.

He added that he also opposes the entry into the alliance of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where, in his opinion, the Croats are oppressed.

As previously reported by the Croatian edition Dnevnik, Milanovic said that Ukraine has no place in NATO.

According to him, the change of power in Ukraine was a coup, "any movement, but not democratic."

The Croatian President also warned that his country would withdraw its troops from NATO forces in Eastern Europe in the event of a conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

According to him, such a decision will not be connected with Ukraine or Russia, but "with the dynamics of American domestic politics."
