Together with his wife Prof. Dr. Sanja Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a gala dinner organized by the Association of Croatian American Professionals (ACAP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the gala dinner, President Milanovi\u0107 awarded the Charter of the Republic of Croatia to the Association of Croatian American Professionals. The Charter was presented to the Association for its role in the development of an international network of professionals of Croatian origin in the diaspora and for its special contribution in fostering their mutual ties, as well as its role in connecting Croatia and the Croatian diaspora, for providing knowledge and experiences, for strengthening education, science and entrepreneurship, for providing outstanding humanitarian aid and medical aid to hospitals, and for organizing scholarships for young physicians from the Republic of Croatia. The award was accepted by ACAP President Dr. Steven Pavletic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI appreciate you selecting Zagreb, the capital of our beloved and only homeland, and my hometown, for the venue of your conference. I understand this is the third day of your proceedings and your conference must have been successful,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 said at the gala dinner held at the end of the three-day conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are Croatian-American professionals. Professionals are people of respect, high social standing and relevance in society. From the Croatian perspective, that is something we need. We are a small nation. We are still not as wealthy or affluent enough as we would wish to be and this certainly must be our goal,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been in the EU for the last 10 years and after this period I could sum it up by saying \u2018Curb your enthusiasm!\u2019<\/em> because there is no room for excessive enthusiasm, but for a solid, grounded assessment of what we really achieved. What we lack are businesses, activities and professions which bring real extra value and extract the most from the capital and from the factors of production \u2013 in a nutshell, what makes a country wealthy. Why not be rich in the final analysis, and thus independent and more self-reliant. That is what statehood is all about, apart from all the basic elements,\u201d the President told those present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish you success in your professions, especially to the younger people whom I\u2019ve seen around quite a lot \u2013 people who contribute to their destinies and their families and their businesses first. But, also from the perspective of Croatia\u2019s standing, people who contribute to Croatia\u2019s ambitions and goals, because we might not necessarily be fantasists, but we aim high. And we should be aiming high \u2013 this should be the model and working principle of this country,\u201d concluded President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Association of Croatian American Professionals held its annual conference \u201cConnecting the Doers: Taking Croatia to the Next Level\u201d in Zagreb. The conference was dedicated to the potentials of the Croatian economy, networking of Croatian professionals from abroad and cooperation with Croatia. The conference, which was organized for the first time in Zagreb, brought in foreign investors \u2013 leading entrepreneurs and managers of Croatian origin, as well as distinguished speakers. During the three-day conference on 6-8 July at the Sheraton Zagreb Hotel, leading U.S. and Croatian entrepreneurs discussed the business, health and tourism sectors in Croatia and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the gala dinner were ACAP Zagreb Chapter President Don Markusic, ACAP Secretary Lidija Ortloff, ACAP President Dr. Steven Pavletic and Head of the Croatian National Tourist Board\u2019s International Cooperation Department Marina \u0160imuni\u0107. President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by the Head of the Office of the President Orsat Miljeni\u0107 and Adviser to the President of the Republic for Foreign and European Policy Neven Pelicari\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
