INTERVIEW Dr. sc. Hrvoje Mandić: Jedina “kultura sjećanja” koju trebamo njegovati je ona o komunističkim zločinima nad Hrvatima

Uoči njujorške promocije knjige “Rat nakon rata 1945.–1951. – Kazneni progoni jataka protukomunističke gerile u Hercegovini”, razgovarali smo s njezinim autorom, povjesničarom dr. sc. Hrvojem Mandićem. Dr. Mandić, rođen 1987. u Mostaru, doktorirao je 2020. na Fakultetu hrvatskih studija Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. U svom se znanstvenom radu ponajviše bavi vojnom i crkvenom poviješću Drugoga svjetskog rata i poraća te Domovinskim ratom. Trenutno surađuje s više akademskih institucija u Hrvatskoj i Bosni i Hercegovini. Knjiga “Rat nakon rata” predstavlja njegovo drugo autorsko djelo, koje slijedi nakon zapažene monografije “Hercegovačka franjevačka provincija u Drugom svjetskom ratu i poraću” (2021.), proširene verzije njegove

Senat potvrdio: Nicole McGraw nova je veleposlanica SAD-a u Hrvatskoj

Američki Senat potvrdio je imenovanje Nicole McGraw iz Floride na dužnost veleposlanice Sjedinjenih Američkih Država u Republici Hrvatskoj. McGraw je jedna od 107 kandidata predsjednika Donalda Trumpa koje je Senat odobrio u utorak navečer prema ubrzanoj proceduri. Paket nominacija, koji je prošao s 51 glasom za i 47 protiv, obuhvaća čelnike saveznih agencija, veleposlanike te savezne tužitelje. Ova odluka uslijedila je nakon višemjesečnog zastoja u potvrđivanju kandidata, zbog čega je Senat uveo pojednostavljenu proceduru glasovanja. Imenovanjem Nicole McGraw nastavlja se kontinuitet u američko-hrvatskim odnosima, a očekuje se da će nova veleposlanica uskoro preuzeti dužnost u Zagrebu. Foto: Pexels
