You can be proud and happy\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 told the citizens of Rijeka and reminded that Rijeka had the misfortune of being the European Capital of Culture during the 2020 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRijeka is a city that possesses an enormous cultural heritage that was neglected for the first 50 years after the war. However, the wheels are turning and with each new step and momentum you can see how much work there still is\u201d, he underlined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his address, President Milanovi\u0107 called on tapping EU Funds saying that soon that money will no longer be available. \u201cTake advantage of this money because that is our money too. Soon they will convince us that in terms of purchasing power criteria, we are as developed as Italy. This is a period in which that money will not last forever, however, this building will remain. Therefore, absorb each euro that you can\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reconstruction of the new library building was part of a project entitled \u201cRevitilization of the complex Ben\u010di\u0107 \u2013 Bricks and T-building\u201d, which was co-financed by the European Fund for Regional Development in the scope of the \u201cOperational Program Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014-2020\u201d. The total value of the project was 21.5 million euros, and was co-financed by the EU with 55 percent of non-refundable grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project reconstruction and revitalization is one of the cultural priorities of the City of Rijeka, and with its realization, it becomes one of the largest projects of cultural infrastructure in the Republic of Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Municipal Library of Rijeka is the central public library of the City of Rijeka and the home library of public and school libraries of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County with an active membership of 25,000, and annually offers approximately 500 program activities such as literature circles, storytelling, workshops, lectures, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also speaking at the official opening in addition to President Milanovi\u0107 were the director of the Municipal Library Niko Cvjetkovi\u0107, the mayor of Rijeka Marko Filipovi\u0107, the State Secretary in the Ministry of Culture and Media Ivica Polji\u010dak, and the State Secretary in the Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds Spomenka \u0110uri\u0107.
