He laid a wreath and lit a candle at the Homeland War Victims Memorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his address President Milanovi\u0107 expressed pleasure for coming to the island of \u0160olta underlining that the Croats are the only Slavic people and nation who are attached to the sea and whose identity without the sea means nothing. \u201cCroatia is the sea, Croats are the sea. Our state was formed one kilometre from the sea, in the Ka\u0161teli, our first dukes, our dynasties developed along the sea. We have defended this sea and scarcely populated it because it was difficult, barren and rocky ground. &nbsp;It has been an object of malice and envy, wars were fought because of it\u201d, the President noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the first time in history Croats have their state and state authority over almost all of the eastern Adriatic from Savudrija, the Gulf of Piran to Prevlaka peninsula\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated, and noted that it was ensured by the Croatian Army and the Croatian Navy in the Homeland War. \u201cThe one in World War II, made up almost entirely of Dalmatians and residents of \u0160olta, seized all of Istria and Trieste in four, five days in May 1945. Had it not been for them, had there not been those five days in May, Istria would not be Croatian. This is all part of Croatian history and we must be extremely proud of and happy about all of that,&#8221; President Milanovi\u0107 noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I wish for this beautiful island to continue to be as beautiful, mystical and mysterious, and that you protect your heritage,&#8221; the President told them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also speaking at the ceremony besides President Milanovi\u0107 were the head of the Municipality of \u0160olta Nikola Ceci\u0107-Karuzi\u0107 and retired colonel Nikola Bok\u0161i\u0107 from the Veterans Association of the Croatian Navy Split. Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was his Special Adviser for Homeland War Veterans Marijan Marekovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n
