—🇭🇷/🇷🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Croatian President Zoran Milanović stated Serbia is purchasing weapons on a massive scale, with Israel integrating the systems via its military industry and security services.

➡️ He made the comments amid Croatia's halt on military cooperation with Israel, urging purchases from NATO allies instead.

—🇭🇷❌🇮🇱 NOTE: Croatian President ordered a halt and is demanding no arms purchases from Israel, but the government formally controls procurement and has not clearly confirmed a full stop.

➡️ President Zoran Milanović says he terminated all cooperation between the Croatian Armed Forces and the Israeli army (effective since May 2025) and has called on the government to halt all trade in weapons and military equipment with Israel.

➡️ In his official statement, he urged the government to suspend all planned agreements or contracts involving the purchase of weapons and military equipment from Israel, arguing such deals would be unenforceable and harmful to Croatia.

➡️ However, arms procurement is led by the government, and the defense minister has continued engagement with Israeli industry, including talks in Tel Aviv on systems for Croatia’s Leopard tanks, showing a clear institutional clash rather than a fully aligned national policy.
