Croatian President Zoran Milanovic accused his Prime Minister Andrey Plenkovic of behaving like a “Ukrainian agent” on Friday, two days after the latter apologized to Kiev over the head-of-state’s comments on NATO deployments.

In a televised address on Tuesday, Milanovic said Zagreb would withhold its troops from Eastern European NATO contingents if the situation on the Ukraine-Russia border spirals into a full-blown conflict.

In his statement on Tuesday, the president accused the US of agitating the geopolitical situation in the region amid a Russian military buildup near Ukraine’s border.

“This has nothing to do with Ukraine or Russia. It has to do with the dynamics of American domestic politics.”

He added that Kiev should “not constantly confront the thermonuclear and hypersonic power, Russia. It is not Serbia. Whoever encourages them to do so is a dangerous charlatan, and there are many in Europe.”
