Croatian President Zoran Milanović was forced to postpone the start of his official visit to Montenegro by an hour.
Instead of 15.30:16.30 p.m., as announced by protocol, the arrival of Milanović with his wife Sanja Music Milanović and the ceremonial welcome in front of Villa Gorica was postponed to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.
The reason for the travel delay was explained by the office of the President of Croatia.
"The start of President Milanović's official visit to Montenegro was postponed because the official plane could not take off from Zagreb at the scheduled and previously agreed time because the same plane was used by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia, Andrej Plenković, for his trip to Dubrovnik," the statement said.
It is added that the use of an official plane for Milanović's needs was approved on March 18, and that the Government's Directorate for the Use of Official Planes confirmed the Croatian President's flight from Zagreb to Podgorica on March 26 at 14:05 PM.
"Despite this, the plane could not take off from Zagreb to Podgorica according to the agreed schedule and coordinated with the Government, because on Wednesday afternoon, the Office of the President of Croatia was informed that the Prime Minister would use an official plane to travel to Dubrovnik with an hour and a half delay in taking off for Dubrovnik," the Office of the President of Croatia said in a statement.
