Easter Greetings from the President of the Republic to Eastern Orthodox Faithful

The President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanović extended Easter greetings to all citizens who celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar. The President’s message reads as follows:

“On the eve of the celebration of the greatest Christian holiday according to the Julian calendar, I wish all our fellow citizens who are Eastern Orthodox believers a happy Easter.

The significance of this holiday has always been in the faith and hope of a better tomorrow and a victory of the good, despite challenges and difficulties faced by people. We live in a time when mutual understanding, nobility and tolerance are needed even more for a victory of the good to create a society in which the difference and dignity of every person will be respected.

May this atmosphere of Easter be an additional encouragement to the faithful, and to us all, to build such a society. I hope you will spend the Easter holidays in peace and joy and I send the traditional greeting – Hristos voskrese!”
