Because, no one looks at us with the eyes with which we see and experience ourselves, and no one cares about us, in the true sense of the word, as we do ourselves,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the ceremony apart from President Milanovi\u0107 were the Dean of the University of Rijeka Faculty of Dental Medicine Professor Sonja Pezelj-Ribari\u0107, Vice Rector of the University of Rijeka Professor Marta \u017duvi\u0107, President of the Croatian Dental Chamber Dr. Hrvoje Pezo, Mayor of the City of Rijeka Marko Filipovi\u0107, Deputy Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Prefect Petar Mamula, State Secretary in the Ministry of Health and delegate of the Croatian Prime Minister Dr. Marija Buba\u0161, representative of the first generation of enrolled students Dr. Tiberio Zaverski and representative of the first generation of graduates of the Faculty of Dental Medicine Dr. Frano Viskovi\u0107. Recognitions, certificates of appreciation and awards were presented at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The integrated undergraduate and graduate university Study of Dental Medicine at the University of Rijeka was launched in October 1973, building on the foundations of the previously founded College of Dentistry. In 2019, a decision was made to establish the University of Rijeka Faculty of Dental Medicine without legal personality. The Faculty of Dental Medicine started independent operations on 1 March 2020 and this day is therefore observed as Faculty of Dental Medicine Day. Today, the Faculty of Dental Medicine has 254 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by the Adviser to the President of the Republic for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107 and the Commissioner of the President of the Republic for Sports \u017deljko Jovanovi\u0107 at the ceremony marking University of Rijeka Faculty of Dental Medicine Day.<\/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\/2023\/03\/DSC_0350-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0350-768x432.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\/2023\/03\/DSC_0390-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0390-1-768x432.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\/2023\/03\/DSC_0439-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0439-1-768x432.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\/2023\/03\/DSC_0569-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/DSC_0569-1-768x432.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 \/ Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended today in the city of Rijeka a ceremony marking the University of Rijeka Faculty of Dental Medicine Day and the 50th anniversary of the Study of Dental Medicine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22086,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-22095","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
