General Lovric thanked General Sundov on past work and contribution to the development of the armed forces and the Croatian Military Academy, and noted that the appointment of General Sundov to a new duty as military representative of the Croatian Armed Forces to NATO and the EU has been the result of his previous successful work.

At the end of the ceremony, General Zdilar also congratulated and thanked General Sundov on all the achievements in his career, and wished every success on the new duty.
