I understand them since their domestic policy gives them no choice. Yet, on those border crossings they certainly will not catch the ones they are after, namely illegal migrants\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 commented on the introduction of border controls by Slovenia. The President of the Republic feels that illegal migrants will not cross the border carrying banners, but will circulate where there are no controls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNevertheless, that is a lesson to remind ourselves that the European Union is first and foremost an alliance of national states with a history, an identity and a character, but with fears as well\u201d, he noted, adding that a Europe without borders is impossible. He thereby stressed the importance of maintaining the situation without border controls. \u201cFor nearly eight months we had no border controls and it will be like that again, circumstances will change, a new crisis will occur. We have to do everything possible to assure as peaceful a world as possible, without wars, destruction and horrors, because our state lives and prospers from that\u201d, the President of the Republic stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related to Samobor, the President highlighted its long tradition of a city of craftspeople and industry, and wished that Samobor continues to be at the top and competes with the most successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing City Council besides President Milanovi\u0107 were the president of Samobor City Council Miran \u0160oi\u0107, the mayor of Samobor Petra \u0160krobot, the mayor of Glina Ivan Jankovi\u0107 and the president of Zagreb County Assembly Martina Glasnovi\u0107. On the occasion of the special session of the City Council, commendations were presented to prominent citizens to whom Samobor is indebted for their work and efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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\/10\/DSC_0235-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_0235-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_0212-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_0212-768x512.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\/10\/DSC_0500-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_0500-768x432.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\/10\/DSC_0361-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_0361-768x432.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 \/ Filip Glas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended a special session of Samobor City Council on the occasion of Municipal Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":26304,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-26312","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 -
