"I've come on a friendly visit to Afghanistan and that's how I feel
here," Roncevic told the 50-strong Croatian contingent that includes
three women. He conveyed greetings from the Croatian government and
brought various gifts, including Croatian national soccer team
jerseys.
Roncevic informed the soldiers of novelties in the work of the Defence
Ministry, particularly the reform of the armed forces.
Croatian military police are based in a multinational brigade camp in
Kabul. They perform usual military-police tasks, including patrols and
checks, but always in the presence of troops from other countries.
This is the third Croatian military police platoon in Afghanistan
since 2003 when the first one arrived. The first two platoons were
given positive marks for their performance.
