The bridge is now here and it is much more than a traffic corridor and a pile of steel and concrete. I am very pleased that Pelje\u0161ac Bridge is here, but I am convinced that you need an airport. It would do small wonders for the island\u2019s economy and tourism,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 said in his address at a special session of the Kor\u010dula Town Council, which was held today to mark Municipal Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the town of Kor\u010dula, President Milanovi\u0107 focused on the island\u2019s tradition, development and beauty. \u201cThis tradition and this land are not from yesterday, this culture is not from yesterday. This place was civilized, successful and advanced \u2013 it is a place that was written about. Our islands are a paradise. There is nothing like this anywhere this close to the heart of Europe. If you had a bridge, nothing would change here. This would still remain a beautiful island. Enjoy your island. One cannot but notice the beauty of Kor\u010dula,\u201d said the President of the Republic, quoting from the book of British General Maclean, who wrote about his visit to Kor\u010dula in the 1940s: \u201cI couldn\u2019t believe at first where I came. The place is small and people are dressed like in the West.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his speech, the President also commented on the reactions of Bosniak politicians and the significance of Pelje\u0161ac Bridge for Bosnia and Herzegovina. \u201cWhile opening the bridge, I also mentioned Bosnia and Herzegovina, saying that in the construction of Pelje\u0161ac Bridge there is no malice or evil, that it was not built to spite anyone, least of all Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, these days I heard a lot of bellicose statements from the leadership of the Bosniak-Muslim political parties, and to be honest, I did not believe that we would get to the point of making threats with weapons and drones, and headcounts of young (military age) people. This is the son of a man whom President Tu\u0111man awarded one of the highest orders that the Croatian state can bestow. I thought this bridge connects, but I don\u2019t know anymore what to think,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the special session apart from the President of the Republic were the President of the Kor\u010dula Town Council Marija \u0160egedin, Mayor of Kor\u010dula Nika Sili\u0107 Maroevi\u0107, Dubrovnik-Neretva County Prefect and envoy of the Croatian Prime Minister Nikola Dobroslavi\u0107, and Member of the Croatian Parliament and envoy of the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Branko Ba\u010di\u0107. Public awards of the town of Kor\u010dula were presented to this year\u2019s laureates and top athletes of the town for 2021 were proclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the special session of the Kor\u010dula Town Council, President Milanovi\u0107 toured the exhibition \u201cKor\u010dulanska drvena brodogradnja\u201d [Wooden shipbuilding of Kor\u010dula] at the new town gallery, the Kor\u010dula Loggia, under the expert guidance of its authors Lana Filippi Brki\u0107 and Du\u0161an Kalogjera. The exhibition showcases the history of shipbuilding on the island of Kor\u010dula and is the recipient of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts J. J. Strossmayer Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adviser to the President of the Republic for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\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_4159-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_4159-768x432.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_5039-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_5039-1-768x432.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_4963-1-1024x732.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_4963-1-768x549.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_4922-1024x731.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSC_4922-768x549.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 \/ Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPelje\u0161ac Bridge was opened a few days ago, a project that was dreamed about, and everything starts with dreams.
