I say this as the President of the Republic, not as the Government\u2019s competitor, and as someone who genuinely cares that our story succeeds. What happens to this country matters only to us. For others it is either not important or they don\u2019t really care. Economic success will determine whether this demographic \u201cArmageddon\u201d will continue, in which we have lost a million people in the last 30 years, which is not only a consequence of the war and Operation Storm. Croatia\u2019s economic success is equal to Croatian strength. Without money there is nothing, no independence, no weapons, no way to defend your home, be it a house or a country,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 told students at the University of Split, where he held a lecture entitled \u201cGeopolitics and economic consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on economic growth trends in Croatia this year, which \u201cwill be good,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said that tourism, a rentier economy, contributes to this growth, but he warned that \u201cwe are terribly dependent on tourism and that is not good.\u201d According to President Milanovi\u0107, the economic outlook in the period ahead will also depend on the geopolitical situation in the world. \u201cWhat\u2019s next? This depends exclusively on the scenarios in Ukraine, on whether the Americans and Russians will sit down together,\u201d the President said, explaining that \u201cwhat we have been witnessing in recent months is geopolitics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnyone who associates geopolitics with BiH or Kosovo does not know what geopolitics is. What was happening in our region was a terrible, bloody divorce in which some fared better while others, like us Croats, the Croatian state, fared worse. Geopolitics is exclusively Russia and China, and that spills over onto all of us,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said in his lecture to the students, and concluded that Croatia must take care of itself because \u201cif you don\u2019t take care of yourself, not even God will help you, and the present times demonstrate this in a frightening way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After his lecture, President Milanovi\u0107 took questions from students. Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for the Economy Velibor Ma\u010dki\u0107 was alongside President Milanovi\u0107.&nbsp;<\/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\/10\/DSC_7449-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_7449-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_7462-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_7462-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_7489-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_7489-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_7710-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_7710-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_7822-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/DSC_7822-768x432.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>\u201cAnyone who associates geopolitics with BiH or Kosovo does not know what geopolitics is.
