Predsjednica Republike i vrhovna zapovjednica Oružanih snaga Republike Hrvatske Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović u Splitu je otvorila konferenciju Vojnog odbora NATO-a.
U uvodnom govoru predsjednica Grabar-Kitarović svima je poželjela dobrodošlicu i zahvalila na dolasku, ali i na dosadašnjem doprinosu unutar Saveza. "Zahvaljujem svima vama, ali i svim vašim pripadnicama i pripadnicima na njihovoj predanosti Savezu i na njihovu sudjelovanju u mnogim misijama mira u svijetu", istaknula je.
Predsjednica je najavila kako će se na konferenciji konstruktivno raspravljati i nastavljati razgovori na temeljima NATO summita u Varšavi i Walesu na kojima su NATO saveznici pokazali impresivnu ujedinjenost. Naglasila je kako je sada njihov zadatak ići korak dalje u suočavanju s brojnim izazovima koji su pred Savezom, poput nestabilnosti u svijetu koje ga okružuju.
"Odgovor kako se nositi s tim izazovima stane u jednu riječ, koja je i temeljno načelo i vrijednost NATO saveza, a to je solidarnost", zaključila je predsjednica Grabar-Kitarović.
