President Milanovi\u0107 said that EU membership was the only choice, but it\u2019s important to consider the achievements more objectively. \u201cNow is the time to see if everything is truly great since we joined the EU, being aware that it was the only choice. When you have one choice it\u2019s not good; however, we would make the same choice again, but we need to approach everything in a more objective manner,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The President of the Republic commended Sveta Nedelja for successfully absorbing EU funds and said the central government should follow its example because the state lags behind in fund absorption. However, he warned that the time to develop with the EU\u2019s financial support is limited as Croatia could soon be considered too developed for the support. \u201cIf we continue to develop like this, by the end of this decade we will lose the right to European funds because we will allegedly be too developed for that. Everything is going in that direction,\u201d said the President, who also emphasized that EU-funded projects do not ensure long-term financial prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also warned of the danger of Croatia finding itself in the same situation as other European countries that have lost the right to financial support because they have become too developed. President Milanovi\u0107 therefore underlined the need to properly utilise EU funds in order to ensure the country\u2019s long-term development. \u201cWhen the flow of money from EU funds stops, we risk finding ourselves in the same situation as some other states, which is that you spent what you had, after which they treat you as an adult, you are no longer entitled to child\u2019s allowance, because what we are receiving now is child\u2019s allowance. That\u2019s what awaits us,\u201d said the President.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 underscored that we are also faced with global changes, instability and more expensive energy, and sustainable development requires a more affordable and available energy. He concluded his address by expressing his commitment to addressing Croatia\u2019s problems. \u201cIt\u2019s up to me to try and care about Croatia\u2019s problems and worries together with those who want that. We must secure a position in which we will be stronger and less dependent on others\u2019 money. Problems remain and we won\u2019t solve them if we all keep quiet about them,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for Energy and Climate Julije Domac 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\/2023\/06\/DSC_5994-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_5994-768x512.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\/06\/DSC_6348-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_6348-768x512.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\/06\/DSC_6255-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_6255-768x432.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\/06\/DSC_6497-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/DSC_6497-1-768x432.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 \/ Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a special session of the Town Council of Sveta Nedelja, which was held on Friday on the occasion of Municipal Day celebrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23779,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-23786","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
