Anusic stated that the army is ready for Omiš: 'We are in communication, we are coordinating'

Potpredsjednik vlade i ministar obrane Ivan Anušić objavio je da je kopnena vojska spremna pomoći na požarištu u Omišu ako bude potrebno, naglašavajući da su kanaderi i piloti već angažirani. Iako nije bio potpuno siguran da će se vojska koristiti, Anušić je istaknuo da su u kontaktu s premijerom Andrejom Plenkovićem i glavnim vatrogasnim zapovjednikom Tomislavom Tucakovićem, te da je vojska sudjelovala u prethodnim požarima kada su bili prisutni kanaderi. Također je objasnio da će se sastati s stožerom civilne zaštite u Omišu i da će možda otići na mjesto požara ako bude potrebno.

Minister of Defence Ivan Anušić stated on Sunday that the number of wildfires breaking out within a single day is illogical, with some being deliberately set. He emphasized that the Croatian military has been engaged since the beginning of all fires, with the Croatian Air Force's aircraft serving as the main backbone of firefighting efforts alongside ground forces under the call of the head fire chief, Slavko Tucaković. Anušić explained during a press conference in Cera that the military has been involved from the outset, including air force units such as canadairs and Air Tractors. These aircraft, he noted, form the core of the firefighting forces together with firefighters. The involvement of ground troops was highlighted as a new initiative, with around forty soldiers assisting firefighters following a request from Tucaković. This action was primarily due to the threat posed to the military’s Red Earth training area. Ground forces are deployed only when there is a specific need, according to Anušić, who stressed that the military does not respond to wildfires unless called upon, as soldiers lack the specialized equipment and protective gear that firefighters possess. He further remarked that while the current wildfire has been brought under control, the military remains on standby. Anušić also called for stricter penalties against pyromaniacs, citing past incidents near Breza and its surroundings. He pointed out that the number of wildfires occurring in a single day is particularly concerning, especially when weather forecasts warn of storms or strong winds. He added that some fires have been recorded by cameras as being intentionally set, which he described as both illogical and alarming. The minister urged increased monitoring and protection of public areas vulnerable to wildfires, emphasizing the risk these pose to homes, buildings, and people. He also proposed introducing more severe penalties for individuals who deliberately ignite fires. His comments were released by the Ministry of Defence. In separate reports, HRT confirmed Anušić’s statements, noting that footage captured by cameras has shown certain fires were set intentionally. The media outlet reiterated the involvement of the military, highlighting the deployment of ground forces for the first time under Tucaković’s directive. It also underscored the military’s readiness and the ongoing efforts to manage the situation, even though the fire is now under control. The reports highlight the growing concern over the frequency and nature of wildfires, with authorities warning of potential deliberate acts. Both the Ministry of Defence and HRT have issued statements reinforcing the need for stronger legal measures and greater vigilance against arson. The focus remains on ensuring public safety and preventing future incidents, especially given the recent pattern of fires coinciding with adverse weather conditions. The involvement of the military underscores the severity of the situation, with resources being mobilized beyond traditional firefighting teams. While the immediate threat appears contained, the broader implications of repeated and potentially intentional fires remain a cause for alarm. As the government considers legislative changes, the public continues to monitor developments closely, aware of the risks associated with uncontrolled wildfires.

Ivan Anusic: The number of fires that break out in one day is illogical, some are intentionally set

Ministar obrane Ivan Anušić komentarisao je broj požara koji se dogodilo u jednom danu, smatrajući ga nelošim. U svojoj poruci, Anušić je objasnio da je Hrvatska vojska angažirana u gašenju požara, posebno zbog ugroze vojnog poligona 'Crvena zemlja'. Istaknuo je da vojnici nisu opremljeni protupožarnom opremom kao vatrogasci i da se ne uključuju bez poziva glavnog vatrogasnog zapovjednika. Dodatno, Anušić je naglasio potrebu za strožim kaznama za piromane, posebno uz obrazloženje da su neki požari namjerno podmetnuti, što je potvrđeno kamerama.

Bias read (Center): Artikl predstavlja objektivnu analizu ministarskog komentara o požarima, bez jasne stranih predrasuda. Iako se govori o političkom tematskom okviru (sigurnost, vojska), tekst se fokusira na objašnjenje situacije i preporuke, bez evidentnog opterećenja lijeve ili desne strane. Sadržaj nije preterano

Why factuality (95): The article accurately reports Minister Anušić's statements regarding the military's involvement in firefighting efforts, including the use of Canadian aircraft and the first-time deployment of ground troops. It also mentions his comments on the illogical number of fires occurring during strong wind

Why objectivity (85): The article presents the information in a mostly neutral manner, quoting directly from the minister’s remarks. However, phrases like 'nelogičan je broj požara' may imply a judgmental stance rather than purely stating facts. While not overtly biased, there is a slight leaning toward emphasizing the u

The cameras recorded that some fires were deliberately set

Ministar obrane Ivan Anušić naveo je da su neki požari u Hrvatskoj namjerno podmetnuti, prema zapisima kamere. U vezi s tim, on je objasnio da je Hrvatska vojska angažirana u gašenju požara od početka, uz sudjelovanje zračnih snaga i kopnenih snaga na uputstvo glavnog vatrogasnog zapovjednika. Ministar istaknuo je da vojnikovi nisu opremljeni protupožarnom opremom kao vatrogasci, pa se vojska uključuje samo kada postoji potreba. Također, predložio je pooštriti kazne za piromane i poboljšati zaštitu javnih površina.

Bias read (Center): Artikl donosi objektivnu analizu situacije s požarima i reagira na njihovu namjernost, bez jasne stranih političkih ulaganja. Iako se govori o vojsci i državnoj zaštiti, tekst se fokusira na tehničke i logističke aspekte, a ne na političku agitaciju. Stoga se smatra da je obrazloženje blizu centra.

Why factuality (93): This article provides a similar account of Minister Anušić's comments on the military's role in firefighting, mentioning the use of Canadian aircraft and the first deployment of ground forces. It includes the same points about the number of fires being illogical and the need for harsher punishments

Why objectivity (82): The tone remains largely neutral, focusing on direct quotes from the minister. However, the headline 'Anušić: Kamerama je zabilježeno da su neki požari namjerno podmetnuti' introduces a slightly more assertive claim about cameras capturing evidence of intentional fires, which could introduce a subtl

Bias read (Center): Vijest prikazuje stanje i reakciju državnih službenika na požar, bez evidentnog političkog slanja. Ministar obrane daje informacije o mogućim akcijama vojske, ali ne izražava personalnu podršku ni kritiku prema bilo kojoj strani. Prikaz je neutralan i fokusira se na činjenice i komunikaciju između v

Why factuality (65): The article primarily focuses on the military's preparedness and coordination efforts in relation to the fire, rather than the missing person. While it references the fire and includes quotes from Minister Anušić, it does not provide direct information about Dragana Antešević or the police investiga

Why objectivity (60): The tone leans slightly toward promoting the readiness and capability of the military, which could be seen as a subtle endorsement of military involvement. While not overtly biased, the emphasis on military coordination may suggest a preference for certain institutional responses over others.
