But don\u2019t give up on this, it\u2019s the right path\u201d, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 told the leadership of the City of Zagreb at a public awards ceremony on the occasion of City of Zagreb Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In congratulating City of Zagreb Day, President Milanovi\u0107 commented on how Zagreb is being run: \u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, as a resident, an observer, a citizen of Zagreb, what I\u2019ve seen in these two years and what I will watch for in the future \u2013 and I think that most people watch for that \u2013 is the attitude to public good, to money, to what is common. I\u2019m not rooting for you, I\u2019m rooting for the method. I think it\u2019s the right one. I think that nothing undermines our force and resilience more than mistrust in public service and the attitude to money\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He spoke of the ten years of Croatia\u2019s membership in the European Union, repeating that \u201cevery euro available to us must be used. We don\u2019t rate well when it comes to the use of money. Regrettably, we are among the weaker European states. I\u2019m not accusing anyone, the numbers speak for themselves. We must make efforts to change things. It\u2019s not easy and there are huge challenges that not one European fund will solve, such as the European fund transforming Zagreb into Vienna\u201d, the President of the Republic stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He underlined the importance of analysing what has been achieved, and finding ways to make the most of EU membership, warning that Brussels must not become a new Pest or Belgrade, referring to present and past seats of power: \u201cNot to replace one commissariat we had in the past with any other one be it better, more civilised and more cultural\u201d. As for results of EU membership, President Milanovi\u0107 underlined that \u201cin any case he would be for the European Union, there\u2019s no dilemma here\u201d. But he wondered if the financial balance of membership of approx. 10.5 billion euros is enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTen billion euros in ten years. Yet, today the euro is worth 20 percent less than ten years ago. In these 10 years every year some of the money was allocated to agriculture, which is a social fund that has no developmental effect, it\u2019s preserving social peace. The remainder that Croatia receives rarely goes to direct development investment projects, the only thing that\u2019s close is renewable energy sources. What remains? Cooperative homes, innovation centres, business incubators, building renovations. All of that is great, but there\u2019s no new growth there or wealth\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 explained, adding that in the past decade Croatia hasn\u2019t achieved above-average growth in relation to comparable states or richer states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Addressing the gathering besides President Milanovi\u0107 were the President of the Zagreb City Assembly Jo\u0161ko Klisovi\u0107, the Mayor of Zagreb Tomislav Toma\u0161evi\u0107, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Croatian Veterans\u2019 Affairs Tomo Medved, and MP and delegate of the Speaker of the Croatian Parliament Marko Pavi\u0107. On the occasion of City of Zagreb Day public awards were presented at the ceremony to this year\u2019s laureates by Mayor Toma\u0161evi\u0107 and the President of the City Assembly Jo\u0161ko Klisovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompanying President Milanovi\u0107 was the Adviser to the President for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\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\/2023\/05\/DSC_5841-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC_5841-768x432.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\/05\/DSC_6195-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC_6195-768x432.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\/05\/DSC_6226-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC_6226-768x432.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\/05\/DSC_6402-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DSC_6402-768x432.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>\u201cTransparency is a more difficult path that citizens won\u2019t honour every time and turn it into support in the next election cycle.
