The guest of Novi Dan was security expert Pavla Kalinić. He commented on the new round of tightening of relations between Croatia and Serbia after Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić was banned from a “private visit” to Jasenovac. “I think that both sides have a lot of problems, this was an ideal opportunity to create a ‘smoke bomb’ on the other side.

The same goes for their family members. “I am concerned about the amount of non-sensitive data sent by Americans that could end up in the hands of the Chinese government,” said…

Currently, only the Lithuanian government has decided to purchase M270 MLRS systems. Recently, it was decided to accelerate deliveries, the first copies are to be delivered to Lithuania in 2026, and not until 2028, as previously…
