Croatia Remains Out of Trump's 'Peace Council' 'For Many Reasons'

Croatia has decided not to join the 'Peace Council' promoted by former US President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Andrej Plenković announced the decision, citing 'many reasons' after thorough analysis. The Croatian government had initially stated it had been invited to participate, but was awaiting alignment of the European Union's position. The Peace Council was initially proposed as part of an effort to end the war in Gaza, but Trump's ambitions extend to broader mediation efforts globally, which has drawn criticism and concerns about potential opposition to the UN.
