CroatiaMinister of Defense Ivan Anušić commented on the arrest related to the procurement of military boots, stating that Brigadier Ivica Devčić would be removed from his position and that his service would be terminated. He emphasized that the Ministry of Defense (MORH) had already taken key steps against questionable practices last year, including banning the company Design Vision from participating in defense tenders due to falsifying references. Anušić described the current action by investigators as a logical continuation of measures taken the previous year and suggested similar cases might arise in the future. He stressed the importance of timely responses to prevent companies from competing with substandard products, false claims, and excessive profits at the expense of taxpayers.
