President Milanović: We should not entertain the illusion that the EU will become a powerful state governed from a single center of power
“Our policy is one of clean accounts, respect for others – for other religions and other communities – but also an awareness of who we are, what we are, and what is ours. Because when it comes to a nation, that aspect of selfishness is present; otherwise, a nation has no meaning – if you are not aware of what is yours, what belongs to you, and what you are ready to defend,” said today in Slavonski Brod the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces Zoran Milanović, speaking at the commemorative ceremony marking the 35th anniversary of the formation of the 3rd Guards Brigade of the Croatian Army “Kune.”
President Milanović: The relationship between Christians and Muslims in Croatia is better than ever before
“The relationship between Christians and Muslims in this part of the world has been complex, and today it is much better than it has ever been, especially in Croatia. A lot has happened; the histories of our peoples are so intertwined – through origins, migration routes, and everything that has taken place over the past several hundred years – that this is, in a way, an unexpectedly happy outcome. We live normal lives, both private and public,” said the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović today at the marking of the 110th anniversary of the recognition of Islam as equal to other religions in Croatia.
President Milanović Warns: Croatia Will Need to Borrow if It Wants to Maintain Current Budget Spending Levels
“The Resilience and Recovery Fund is now coming to an end; it’s over. What has been spent, has been spent. In the future, the state will lack a certain amount of funds it currently has. This will need to be replenished from somewhere if we want to maintain this level of budget spending, which is the main driver of growth in our country. So, debt or economic stagnation, lower growth or decline – that’s the reality,” stated the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović today in Stari Mikanovci, where he participated in the special session of the Municipal Council to mark the Municipality’s Day.
