Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković announced that police units will attend the upcoming military parade in Paris, following President Zoran Milanović’s decision to prohibit the Croatian Armed Forces from participating. Milanović previously banned the military’s involvement after a dispute with the government regarding his role as commander-in-chief and the timing of the parade coinciding with Croatian elections. Plenković criticized Milanović’s move as detrimental to Croatian interests and disrespectful to allies. The Prime Minister stated the government decided to send a representation, opting for police units to maintain Croatia’s presence at the event. This decision highlights an ongoing power struggle between the two leading Croatian figures. The parade commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings during World War II, and many international leaders are expected to attend.
