Since there is no umbrella organization in North Macedonia that would assemble all the Croatian national minority\u2019s communities and associations, the President was informed of the Croatian Embassy in Skopje\u2019s initiative to establish a Federation of Croatian Associations in North Macedonia, which would be comprised of representatives of all the Croatian community\u2019s associations and organizations that are currently active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the last population census of September 2021, there are 2,145 Croats in North Macedonia or 0.12% of the total population. The majority of them are in Skopje, Bitola and Shtip, and smaller groups live in Kumanovo, Ohrid and Tetovo. They are organized in associations of Croats in Skopje, Tetovo, Shtip, Bitola, Veles with branches in Kumonovo and Ohrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia to the Republic of North Macedonia Nives Tiganj at the meeting with representatives of the community and associations of the Croatian national minority were the Head of the Office of the President of the Republic Orsat Miljeni\u0107 and the Adviser to the President for Foreign and European Policy Neven Pelicari\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\/11\/DSC_3153-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC_3153-768x576.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\/11\/DSC_3159-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC_3159-768x576.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\/11\/DSC_3167-1024x768.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC_3167-768x576.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\/11\/DSC_3194-1024x731.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/DSC_3194-768x548.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 \/ Dario Andri\u0161ek <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During his working visit to the Republic of North Macedonia, where he participated in an unformal meeting of heads of state and government of NATO members from South East Europe, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 met with representatives of Croatian national minority associations in the Republic of North Macedonia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":27183,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-27184","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 -
