Congratulating Mrs. Toljani\u0107 on the award, the President of the Republic said that he does not see families with more children as something related to a religion, but primarily as a commitment of women and men to raising children. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly difficult. It used to be completely normal, and now to have more than three children, let alone twelve children, demands not sacrifice, but incredible commitment and dedication by the parents\u201d given the needs that arise from having so many children, said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that he does not condemn people who decide to embark on a more comfortable path or focus on a career. \u201cI am here because I am fascinated and I admire the few people who have a lot of children. Because children do not come on a whim. Children are a dedication, an obligation, work, effort, duty and everything that we want to see in the community in which we live, in Croatia. But again, this is not a matter of having as many Croats as possible, but of living as well as possible,\u201d said the President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from the President of the Republic, the ceremony was attended by ELFAC Secretary General Ra\u00fal S\u00e1nchez, the President of the 3plus Family Association Ivan Malba\u0161i\u0107 and the Head of the Municipality of Vrbnik Dragan Zahija. The European Large Families Confederation bestowed the European Large Family of the Year Award on the Toljani\u0107 family from Krk Island for the year 2020. The Toljani\u0107 family was nominated for this major prize by the 3plus Family Association, which has brought together almost 1,000 Croatian families with three or more children, including the Toljani\u0107 family that has twelve children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While in Vrbnik, President Milanovi\u0107 met with winemakers from Krk Island at the Vrbnik Agricultural Cooperative. The farmers\u2019 co-op was established in 1904 under the name <em>Gospodarsko trgova\u010dko dru\u0161tvo Vrbnik<\/em> [Vrbnik commercial company] and like all co-ops in the Croatian Littoral and Istria regions at the time, it was founded at the initiative of Dr. Dinko Vitezi\u0107, a lawyer and delegate of the Diet of Istria and a member of parliament in Vienna. The cooperative has 125 members and 15 subcontractors. At the meeting with President Milanovi\u0107, winemakers from Krk Island presented their products, among which the <em>golden \u017elahtina of Vrbnik<\/em> is paramount, with the most common variety being the <em>white \u017elahtina<\/em> that is found in almost 98% of the vineyards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n                <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5487.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5487.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5497.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5497.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5507.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5507.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5596.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5596.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5251.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5251.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5307.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5307.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5315.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5315.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5362.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5362.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n                    <!--single-->\n            <a data-no-swup class=\"c-lightbox-gallery__single js-lightbox-single\"\n               href=\"https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5375.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/DSC_5375.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Ana Marija Kati\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During his stay today on Krk Island, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended the presentation of the European Large Family of the Year Award to the Toljani\u0107 family in Vrbnik and met with the island\u2019s winemakers at the Vrbnik Agricultural Cooperative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10281,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-10294","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
