At least his term is almost up and hopefully he isn't renewed.

The Wikipedia article of the incident is well done. Much failure on the part of Croatia, Hungary and Romania, but also NATO as a whole. Their systems are integrated, yet no one shot the thing down.
This was interesting about the incident actually:

while there was obviously some failure there". The President said Croatia knew where the drone flew from, "evidently Ukraine to Zagreb"

The Croatian online newspaper Index.hr suggested the drone may have been meant to fly to a location in Ukraine called Yarun' [uk; de; pl], rather than the Zagreb's neighborhood of Jarun which sounds similar

I wonder if the Russian/Ukrainian military is that dumb that they programmed the wrong neighborhood into the drone. Doesn't explain why the thing didn't detonate though.
