The article discusses the conflict between Croatia's President Zoran Milanović and Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, focusing on accusations that Plenković is violating the constitution by overstepping his authority. Siniša Hajdaš Dončić, leader of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), stated that the SDP does not support sending Croatian soldiers to a military parade in Paris and criticized Plenković for acting unilaterally on foreign policy matters.
