On Sunday the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 visited the towns of Po\u017eega, where he took part in a ceremony marking the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of the formation of the 63rd<\/sup> \u201cA\u201d Independent Po\u017eega Battalion of the Corps of the National Guard of the Republic of Croatia, and Na\u0161ice, where he attended an event celebrating municipal day. While in Po\u017eega, President Milanovi\u0107 toured the flood-affected community of Vidovci and spoke with residents and representatives of public services.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extending his congratulations to the Independent Po\u017eega Battalion on its anniversary, the President said these words at a ceremony held at the football stadium: \u201cI think we are satisfied with the country in which we live, despite all the misunderstandings, quarrels, disputes and harsh words, we are stable, strong, masters of our own destiny. There would be no Croatian independence, nor our right to say what we think, if in 1991 there were not a small number of good people who did enormous things for this country. At the end of 1991, almost all of you took part in the liberation of territory in Western Slavonia, which was an immeasurably important operation that only three years later proved to be strategic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, President Milanovi\u0107 emphasized that \u201cnever in the history of our people have we sought what belonged to others, it has always been the defense of our area,\u201d and concluded: \u201cOur state, despite our disputes, still has a fundamental unity, faith in a common goal and awareness of a common origin, although we are quite different from one other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of its formation, the President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces decorated members of the 63rd<\/sup> \u201cA\u201d Independent Po\u017eega Battalion of the Corps of the National Guard of the Republic of Croatia. The Order of Nikola \u0160ubi\u0107 Zrinski was awarded to Damir Soldo for a deed of valour in the Homeland War. The Order of the Croatian Cross was bestowed upon Kre\u0161imir Crnkovi\u0107 for participating and being seriously wounded in the Homeland War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branko Rezo was posthumously decorated with the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for extraordinary services to the Republic of Croatia in a state of war and under special circumstances in peace. The Order of the Croatian Trefoil was presented to Zlatko Od\u017ei\u0107, Ivica Ra\u0161i\u0107 and Tatjana \u0160teti\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For extraordinary contributions to the development and the reputation of the Republic of Croatia, as well as to the welfare of its citizens, the Order of the Croatian Interlace was posthumously bestowed upon Josip Gari\u0107. The Order of the Croatian Interlace was awarded to Ivan-Ivica Milakovi\u0107, Boris Faltinek, Zoran Bo\u0161njak, Josip Pavun\u010dec and Zvonimir Bogdanovi\u0107. Rade Bili\u0107 received the Homeland War Memorial Medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the town of Na\u0161ice, where municipal day was celebrated, President Milanovi\u0107 said the following in his speech: \u201cWork, build, develop yourselves. This is a tidy, well-organized town, and as such it provides an excellent basis for a good, comfortable life. We often complain that we are disappearing, that we will die out as a nation. We won\u2019t. A declining population is a cause for concern, it is a call to action, but it is not a reason to despair. This is a beautiful, fertile region. It is a privilege to live in an area like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminding of the history of European integration, the President of the Republic warned that \u201cnow we must stand on firm ground.\u201d \u201cWhat is there for us? Money, money. That is why I measure the performance of local government units by only one thing: by how much EU funds they managed to absorb, of the vast billions that are available to Croatia, but which one must know how to take. Going to Brussels to listen to smart advice there makes no sense, I would rather come to Na\u0161ice,\u201d the President concluded, extending his congratulations to the town\u2019s residents on the Feast of St. Anthony.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
