Milanovic emphasizes that Finland and Sweden should not be allowed to join NATO until the electoral law in Bosnia and Herzegovina is amended.
Prior to that, the Croatian parliament should "not approve of anyone joining NATO," he said.
- I love Finland and Sweden most in the whole world, but I have signed for Croatia so I have to work for Croatia's interests.
If Finland and Sweden want to join NATO, we can talk about it, even though I consider it a dangerous adventure.
Let them play
The Social Democratic president emphasizes that the decision is not his to make, but calls on Parliament not to ratify an application from the countries.
- Let them join NATO, let them continue to play, let them stick a pencil in the eye of the raging bear, he says and throws in a piece of firewood:
- Change the electoral law, give the Croats their fundamental rights.
Foreign ministers in talks
Bosnian Croats have previously threatened to boycott the elections in Bosnia-Herzegovina in October unless the electoral law is changed so that only they can vote for the Croatian part of the presidency.
The executive branch of Bosnia and Herzegovina is a presidential council made up of three people: a Serb, a Croat and a Bosniak.
On Tuesday evening, Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto commented on the plot on Twitter, referring to a conversation he is said to have had with Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic Radman in the ruling party HDZ.
"He confirmed that Croatia supports NATO's open door policy and whether Finland chooses to apply for NATO membership.
The Croatian Government and Parliament will be in favor of Finnish membership. "
