One of the coaches of Ingulets, Mladen Bartulovich, recalled the war in Yugoslavia in the early 90s of the last century and compared it with the current war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
“I was only 5 years old, but I remember something. There are some similarities with the current war in Ukraine. I remember also rockets flying overhead, turning on alarm sirens. Everyone thought only about how to stay alive. Terrible memories remain.
Enmity between Croats and Serbs? More than 20 years have passed since that war. Relations between Croats and Serbs have warmed a little. Yes, I have Serb friends. For example, Lubomir Tosic is the head chef of the Ukrainian national team, Shakhtar's chief culinary specialist. We have been friends since 2006, as soon as I arrived in Dnipro. I have a very warm relationship with him, ”Bartulovich quotes fanday.
