Contrary to Milosavljevic's opinion, members of the Croatian Agricultural Ministry observed that the horses were indeed starving and in poor health, and relaunched negotiations with their Serbian counterparts to bring the herd home.
Suprotno Milosavljevićevom mišljenju, članovi Ministarstva poljoprivrede Hrvatske konstatovali su da su konji zaista izgladnjivani i u lošem zdravstvenom stanju i ponovo pokrenuli pregovore sa svojim srpskim kolegama kako bi vratili krdo kući.
