The newly appointed Minister of Defense, Ivan Anušić, shared details about his educational background with members of Parliament, stating that he left high school at the age of 17 to join the war. After returning in 1993 and completing high school, he took out a loan to pay for his studies at the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb. Anušić received his bachelor’s degree a year ago.

However, there was an error on the part of Parliament when they assumed that Anušić had completed his studies. Upon being asked about his education by the administration of the Faculty of Kinesiology, they confirmed that Anušić is currently enrolled in the professional graduate study in Coach Education. He completed his undergraduate professional study in Coach Education in 2021 and is now working toward obtaining his professional specialist title in coaching.

Anušić has completed six semesters of undergraduate studies and is currently pursuing an additional four semesters for graduate-level studies. He confirmed that he plans to continue studying during his time as Minister of Defense and is committed to putting in the effort to complete the program.
