Serbian Foreign Ministry concerned over Picula X post

Picula said in the X post that advocating peace, strengthening democracy and economic betterment should be permanent guidelines in developing society, especially now that those values are under increasing pressure. He also thanked everyone who contributed to the defense of Croatia’s sovereignty and freedom.

“We are expressing deep concern and consider MEP and rapporteur for Serbia Tonino Picula’s post on his official X profile in the context of the anniversary of Operation Storm which included a photograph of him in a combat environment in uniform holding an automatic rifle absolutely unacceptable and upsetting,” the Serbian Foreign Ministry said.
