Considering that many Croatian veterans unfortunately belong to the most risky group, which can have the most serious complications in case of infection with COVID-19, please take special care and care of your health. Just as veterans were the first on the line of defense during the Homeland War, so has this difficult and responsible task now been taken by medical staff who work tirelessly and sacrifice their health for all of us. Let's make it easier for them and help them by following the directions, not to go out, keep your distance, often wash his hands and thus protect himself and others around us.
