"On that day we remember the great conflicts and events in the
Homeland War when the Croatian Navy was founded, but also the
thousand years of history and defence of the Croatian sea and
coast," Antunovic said in her message.
"We also remember all Navy members who had woven their lives into
the foundations of our free and sovereign homeland, for which they
deserve our respect and gratitude," Antunovic wrote.
Croatian Armed Forces Chief-of-Staff Petar Stipetic also forwarded
best wishes on Croatian Navy Day.
He recalled tasks of a faster development and modernisation of the
navy and overall armed forces, so that they be able to defend
Croatia's sovereignty and join Western military associations more
quickly.
