On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, another successful blood donation campaign was held at the "Admiral flote Sveto Letica-Barba" barracks in Split. This humanitarian event is regularly carried out in cooperation with the Red Cross Society of Split and the Transfusion Medicine Department of the Split Clinical Hospital Center, with the aim of collecting urgently needed blood supplies for patients in emergency situations. In this year's campaign, 78 units of blood were collected, which represents a significant contribution to the local community and healthcare institutions in the region.


The blood donation campaign at the Split barracks is part of a long-standing tradition of the Croatian Navy, which has been organizing these activities since 1992. Four regular campaigns are held every year, but extraordinary campaigns are sometimes organized when there is an urgent need for additional blood supplies. Such solidarity and willingness to help not only save lives but also emphasize the key role of the armed forces in supporting the healthcare system.


In addition to members of the Croatian Navy, the campaign also included members of the Croatian Military Academy "Dr. Franjo Tuđman" and employees of Pleter d.o.o., making the campaign a true example of a joint effort by various sectors in providing assistance. The participants once again demonstrated their humanity and selflessness, which is especially important in times when healthcare systems are faced with increased demands for transfusions.


This blood donation campaign is also held ahead of the Croatian Navy Day, which gives it additional significance. Participants not only contribute to saving lives but also symbolically mark one of the most important dates in the Navy's history. The next planned campaign is scheduled for December 2024, when there will again be an opportunity to donate blood and continue this commendable tradition.


The collection of 78 units of blood during this campaign is an important step in ensuring sufficient quantities of blood for emergency medical needs in the Split region. Each unit can potentially save someone's life, and voluntary blood donors play a key role in the healthcare system. Additionally, these campaigns have a broader social impact by raising awareness about the importance of blood donation and encouraging others to participate in similar initiatives.

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.
