President Milanović is visiting Washington, where he emphasized that we are in a difficult and unpredictable period. "The dangers are great, every move and word must be carefully measured. It is crucial to maintain dialogue with Moscow, not just with Putin, but with the entire Russian government. The Americans are the ones who need to lead these talks. About ten days ago, after the incident on the beach, the situation changed. The relationship between Moscow and Washington is crucial, everything else is secondary," said President of the Republic Zoran Milanović to reporters during the NATO summit.

Situation in Ukraine
Speaking about the situation in Ukraine, Milanović said: "Ukraine is threatened by economic exhaustion and demographic destruction. We must be honest with them and not make promises we cannot fulfill. It is said that Ukraine's path to NATO is irreversible, this must be taken seriously because it carries certain obligations."

Dinner at the White House
Reporters were interested in the details of the dinner at the White House, where they talked with President Biden. Milanović commented: "It is not appropriate for me to comment in detail. I talked to him more than ever before, it was an informal gathering and an opportunity to talk, not only with him but also with other participants."

Importance of NATO Alliance
"NATO, as the oldest and most successful defense alliance, must remain united because we have no better partner. At the same time, the world is polarizing, which some here find hard to understand," Milanović added.

Changes in the White House
When asked about the possible concern among European leaders about the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House, Milanović said: "Some would welcome it, some would not."

Bilateral Talks
President Milanović confirmed that during the three-day summit, he held several bilateral talks with NATO member leaders. "The talks were intense throughout the summit," Milanović concluded.

North Atlantic Council Meeting
On the third day of the NATO summit, a meeting of the North Atlantic Council for heads of state and government with EU and Indo-Pacific partners, as well as the NATO-Ukraine meeting, was held.

Editorial Desk for Military and Security Affairs

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board brings together authors who have spent many years analysing security trends, military doctrines and power relations on the international stage. Our texts are created from the experience of people who have followed the development of modern weapon systems, the evolution of military technologies and the broader geopolitical processes that shape the world for decades. The editorial approach is based on a clear understanding of military strategies, historical precedents and the ways in which the decisions of major powers reflect on global security.

In our work, we rely on professional expertise, personal experience and long-term monitoring of the defence sector. Our authors have studied military operations, modernisation programmes, international conflicts and security studies for years, enabling them to answer complex questions calmly, precisely and with well-founded arguments. We do not deal with superficial interpretations nor transmit sensationalism; our goal is to explain context as seen by people who have researched security challenges throughout their careers.

We pay particular attention to changes that shift the global balance — the strengthening of military alliances, the development of new technologies, doctrinal adjustments and the transformation of international relations. Our focus is not solely on numbers and technical data, but also on the motives, intentions and consequences behind political and military moves. We believe that defence cannot be understood without a broader geostrategic perspective, and geopolitics without a military dimension remains incomplete.

Each member of our editorial team approaches topics with a deep sense of responsibility towards the reader. We strive for clear and comprehensible writing, whether dealing with analyses of weapon systems, regional tensions or security threats that shape the future. Our work stems from the conviction that information is the foundation of security, and that quality journalism is recognised by its ability to turn complex processes into content that helps navigate a rapidly changing world.

The Defence and Geostrategic Affairs Editorial Board continues to build a recognisable style — serious, well-grounded and analytical — and remains committed to seeking answers that are not always simple, but always important. Our mission is to provide content based on experience, fact-checking and an understanding of the security reality, without shortcuts or clichés. In a time when security decisions have far-reaching consequences, we believe that truthful and expertly prepared information is the most valuable resource we can offer our readers.
