He wished them happiness and wealth, because as he said, \u201cthen they will be less dependent\u201d. \u201cAnd for the country to be richer, for us to be the bosses, to have good relations with our neighbours, for Europe to be peaceful\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his address President Milanovi\u0107 said that the only benefits Croatia has from its nine-year membership in the European Union are the European Funds. \u201cThe money we receive because we are less developed than Germany or Austria. Since the European Union was designed by the wealthy, their interests, besides preserving peace once included expansion, sales of goods and services, some kind of domination. We accepted this and now we are playing according to those rules. We have to try to take every euro that is offered\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted. He added that Croatia gets nothing from the European Union except the funds, and that the percentage of obtaining and absorbing those funds is the measure of our success \u201cwith the goal that tomorrow we are not those who receive but those from whom it is taken, who give and play the game at a higher level\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 referred to the demographic renewal. \u201cDemographic renewal: there are not enough of us \u2013 that is how it is called, our numbers are decreasing. It is because in the deal we made with the European Union we did not take these matters into account, that by inertia our people would rush across the border, our children who complete university studies, especially those who are studying abroad, would be a pledge for all those experts who are leaving Croatia, whom we have educated. Public awareness should be raised about this issue and how to protect ourselves from this phenomenon\u201d, the President stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further speaking about demography, President Milanovi\u0107 said that Budin\u0161\u010dina has made progress in recent years. \u201cHere one lives off tourism, one will never live off a big industry or agriculture. It is essential that people do not to leave. We cannot improve our demographic situation with immigration. This is not a big country for importing workers, we are a small community. You have been connected here for generations and the community would not withstand such diversity. This diversity would cause disarray and chaos in Budin\u0161\u010dina therefore we must resolve it with our own forces\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated in concluding his address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, the President of the Municipal Council Dijana Margeti\u0107 congratulated the residents on Municipal Day, the Head of the Municipality Radovan Hercigonja, the Head of the Twin Town of Kon\u010danica Zlatko Bakuni\u0107, and the Krapina-Zagorje Deputy County Prefect Jasna Petek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 were the Head of the Cabinet of the President Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107 and the Special Adviser to the President for the Economy Velibor Ma\u010dki\u0107.<\/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\/2022\/05\/DSC_4644-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_4644-768x576.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\/2022\/05\/DSC_4671-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_4671-768x432.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\/2022\/05\/DSC_4677-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_4677-768x432.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\/2022\/05\/DSC_4690-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DSC_4690-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Ana Marija Kati\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a special session of Budin\u0161\u010dina\u2019s Municipal Council on which occasion he congratulated the residents on Municipal Day.
