The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 conferred the Grand Order of Queen Jelena with Sash and Star on the former Prime Minister of Croatia Jadranka Kosor, for extraordinary contribution to the international position and reputation of the Republic of Croatia and for the development of relations between the Republic of Croatia and the Croatian people and other states and peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDear Mrs. Kosor, dear Jadranka, esteemed members of the family and friends, today, 10 years after signing the Treaty of Accession of Croatia to the European Union \u2013 treaty signed by Mrs. Kosor following negotiations that reached an unpredictable deadlock, which you managed to resolve with great effort, skills and diplomacy \u2013 it is my decision to confer the Grand Order of Queen Jelena on you. This is not the only reason. The second reason is that in that short period of time, two and a half years \u2013 brief, but long too given the moment in history \u2013 while you were at the helm of the Government in difficult circumstances, at a time of serious disorder in the functioning of state institutions, huge corruption scandals that break the greatest and the toughest, you didn\u2019t allow them to break you. You played honest, under terrible stress and pressure as head of the party in power, and you complete the job impartially to the end, as well as you could\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said in justifying his reasons for decorating Jadranka Kosor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe party you led ejected you, the people you created politically no longer contact you, this is also a human issue\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 added, saying that this recognition is also a recognition to \u201cCroatia that won\u2019t be like that, that\u2019ll be aware of the mistakes it made which there were, and of its achievements which outnumbered the mistakes, but also for its future that is, I believe, more brighter than this foggy and gloomy December day\u201d. \u201cThank you for your service to the Republic of Croatia, the Croatian homeland. You have done what you could, and therefore I confer this decoration on you\u201d, President MIlanovi\u0107 said while presenting the decoration to Mrs. Kosor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her thank you speech, Mrs. Kosor said that she is no longer in politics, but that she will strive in everything she will do from now on to represent the interests of the Republic of Croatia, as she has done during the turbulent times of her mandate as Prime Minister. Talking about those times, she underlined that this achievement is of exceptional importance, the ultimate strategic goal and the ultimate goal in which we all understood each other. \u201cThis kind of unifying around an important idea for Croatia has unfortunately disappeared, the shine has worn off in some institutions and, in some way, have caused their own downfall\u201d, she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince this recognition is presented for my political work, I would like to send a message to young politicians: we will all be gone one day, but in politics it\u2019s important that when the day is done you\u2019re not ashamed of anything, and there\u2019s something you\u2019re proud of. I am proud of the end of the negotiations and of my signature, as I am proud of this decoration. For everything in life as in politics, the brave people are the ones that count\u201d, Mrs. Kosor said among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the presentation ceremony alongside Mrs. Kosor were members of her family and friends: son Lovro \u0160kopljanac, Jasminka Stri\u010devi\u0107 and Franjo Stri\u010devi\u0107, journalist, editor and announcer on Croatian Radio and Television Sonja \u0160aruni\u0107, ophthalmologist and owner of Svjetlost Eye Clinic Nikica Gabri\u0107, former State Attorney and former Supreme Court President Krunislav Oluji\u0107, forner Member of the Board of INA Davor Majer, Senior Lecturer in the Psychology Department of the Faculty of Croatian Studies Zoran Komar, former Member of the Croatian Parliament and lawyer Ljubica Lali\u0107, President of the \u201cZajednica udruga hrvatskih dragovoljaca Domovinskog rata\u201d Tom Ka\u010dinari, and former administrative secretary of Mrs. Kosor Jasenka \u017divkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 were the Head of the Cabinet of the President Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107, Adviser to the President for Foreign and European Policy Neven Pelicari\u0107, and the Adviser to the President for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
