All media outlets in Bosnia and Herzegovina extensively cited Milanovic's inauguration speech, particularly highlighting his messages regarding possible relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina and assessing them as strong and encouraging.
The BHRT public broadcaster covered the inauguration ceremony extensively, recalling that immediately after he was elected on January 5, Milanovic said that his inauguration would be without any great pomp and that it would be the "most modest so far."
The regional N1 television network said that the new, fifth Croatian president underlined his vision of Croatia as a "home for us all."
The Dnevni Avaz daily highlighted his announcement that his foreign policy will focus on points on which security and prosperity can be built.
The Klix web portal underlined Milanovic's message that the "wars are over." The portal suggests that the new Croatian president could pursue a significantly different foreign policy compared to his predecessor Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic and that he is "turning his back on the Balkans", which, it says, raises the question of what sort of repercussions that could have for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
