In his address at the special session, the President spoke about the use of EU funds, reminding that Croatia annually absorbs some five billion kunas, which he said is not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCroatia annually reaps five billion kunas, which is little. Of those five billion, two go to agriculture, a social fund, and it is the best-planned money, there is no stealing there. The remaining three billion is what has been poured into our homeland from European funds in the past years. I guess that money has some effects, although unfortunately we don\u2019t measure them. How they affect competitiveness, salary growth, employment \u2013 we don\u2019t know. And that\u2019s one and a half Pelje\u0161ac Bridge per year,\u201d explained President Milanovi\u0107, announcing that he will be attending the opening of Pelje\u0161ac Bridge, for the construction of which he also, as he put it, \u201cgave a drop of his political blood.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI encourage you to deal with EU funds, to get the most out of them, whatever you can. Be ruthless when it comes to them. We entered the EU and we will soon enter Schengen if our friends from Slovenia realize that it is equally in their interest as in ours, but where is the money, what\u2019s the use of that? It would be a disaster if we did not have some material benefits from a system that is huge and to which we have given a lot,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking about Opatija\u2019s history, the President said that the most complex machines \u2013 ships \u2013 were assembled and designed in Opatija, and that great historical figures holidayed here. \u201cWhoever wants to, whoever can pay will holiday here in the future, because that\u2019s our goal, to sell our goods and services expensively but with high quality,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from President Milanovi\u0107, the President of the Opatija Town Council Neva Slani, Mayor of Opatija Fernando Kirigin, Deputy Prefect of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Petar Mamula and Member of the European Parliament Romana Jerkovi\u0107 also spoke at the special session. At a special programme, the Mayor of Opatija and the President of the Opatija Town Council presented the Town of Opatija Lifetime Business Achievement Award to Dolores Kurti, as well as certificates of appreciation and municipal awards to this year\u2019s laureates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Head of the Cabinet of the President of the Republic Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107 was alongside President Milanovi\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\/07\/DSC_0783-1024x819.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_0783-768x614.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\/07\/DSC_0819-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_0819-1-768x432.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\/07\/DSC_0832-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_0832-768x432.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\/07\/DSC_1008-1024x819.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_1008-768x614.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\/07\/DSC_0772-1024x819.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_0772-768x614.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\/Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt is with great joy that I will be attending the opening of Pelje\u0161ac Bridge in a few days,\u201d President Zoran Milanovi\u0107 confirmed in Opatija, where he attended a special session of the Opatija Town Council held on the occasion of Municipal Day<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18449,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-18451","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
