President Milanović Honours “Hrvatski Sokol” with Charter of the Republic of Croatia on 150th Anniversary
“Continue working as you have so far, as you have accomplished a lot and come a long way. Keep striving for success through hard work,” said the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović to the Croatian Gymnastics Federation, which is marking 120 years of work, and the Zagreb Physical Exercise Society “Hrvatski Sokol” (Croatian Falcon), celebrating an impressive 150 years of existence. The ceremonial celebration of these anniversaries was held at Sokolski Dom in Zagreb.
President Milanović at Croatian Air Force Day Ceremony: Instability in the world is great and the security risk is enormous; we must take care of ourselves and our interests
“The year 2024 has been very important for the Croatian Air Force. New aircraft have arrived. In terms of significance and relevance, this year can only be compared to the early 1990s, when aircraft were brought into Croatia through what could be described as a diffuse membrane of international sanctions – or rather, the arms import embargo imposed on Croatia. After that, for nearly 30 years, the Croatian Air Force operated with the same aircraft, until this year, when modern fourth-generation aircraft began arriving. These aircraft will remain in service for many years. Such decisions and actions are carefully considered over a long time, and once a decision is made, it shapes the future for years to come,” said the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović at the ceremony celebrating Croatian Air Force Day and the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of the Croatian Air Force.
President Milanović calls on citizens to get out and vote: It’s important because the institutions have been stolen and usurped
“Today the presidential election campaign begins and I call on people to prepare for the elections, to get out and vote, not to leave things to chance, and to be at least as agile in numbers and turnout as they were in last spring’s parliamentary elections. It is important, important in the fight for Croatian democracy, popular, civic democracy, and not this institutional one because the institutions in Croatia have been stolen. They have been appropriated, privatized, and this is best seen in the example of what one part, unfortunately, the majority of constitutional judges have done, who are mostly no longer in office today because their mandates have expired,” the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović said in Valpovo today, calling on Croatian citizens to go to the polls because “we have a serious match ahead and nothing is over, we need to fight for it”.
