President Milanović to Meet Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter on Tuesday During Official Visit to Croatia
The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović will meet on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, with the President of the Swiss Confederation Karin Keller-Sutter, who is paying an official visit to Croatia.
President Milanović: The European Union is a community of nation states, not a single state
“Borders between states and nations are not mere whims—they exist for a reason, because they protect. The European Union is not an empire; we are a community of nation states, each with its own identity, history, culture, faith and churches, victories and defeats, loves and hatreds, prejudices and fears. Croatia, Portugal, and Finland are three completely different worlds. That is why the EU cannot be a single state. And that is why anyone who fantasizes about it, talks about it, or worse—works toward it—must be watched carefully. There aren’t many such people in Croatia, but there are quite a few in Europe. These are the dreamers of misguided ideas and concepts that always end in human misery,” warned the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović today in Ogulin, where he attended the ceremonial session of the Municipal Council on the occasion of Ogulin Municipal Day.
