Croatian President Zoran Milanović has revoked a medal previously awarded to Josip Glavaš, a former commander convicted of war crimes. This decision was welcomed by former intelligence chief Josip Manolić, who stated it was anticipated. However, SDP representative Branko Josić views the act as part of a pattern of inconsistent application of criteria when dealing with Croatian war veterans. Josić suggests the standards for revoking honors are not uniformly applied across all individuals who served during the Croatian War of Independence. The revocation centers on Glavaš’s conviction for ordering the torture and murder of Serb civilians. This action highlights ongoing debate within Croatia regarding the recognition and accountability of individuals involved in the 1990s conflicts. The move is likely to further fuel discussions about the treatment of war crimes convictions and the honoring of wartime figures.
