Croatian president threatens to veto Finnish and Swedish NATO membership

So he answered the question of journalists about the possibility of these countries joining the North Atlantic Alliance.

“The issue arose like rain in the spring, no one expected ... At the NATO summit, I will veto the invitation if it is at that level,” RIA Novosti quotes Milanovich.

It is noted that this position of Milanovic is connected with the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Croatian president urged the official Zagreb to achieve a change in the electoral legislation of BiH in favor of the local Croats and demanded from the deputies of parliament until that moment not to support the expansion of NATO into the two Scandinavian countries.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted on April 14 that if Sweden and Finland join NATO, the length of the land borders of the alliance with Russia will more than double.

The Kremlin said that the NATO alliance is a tool sharpened for confrontation, its further expansion will not bring additional security to the European continent.
