\u201cI call on you to aspire to excellence, because that is the only way Croatia can become distinct and not surrender to being average, to inertia, or to counting on European funds to qualitatively change our lives and lift us above some average, because they won\u2019t. Only our ingenuity, ideas and know-how can make Croatia a country that will tomorrow no longer be dependent on EU funds. This is the next step in our development,\u201d the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 said at the opening of the 26th<\/sup> International Event of Olive Growers and Olive Oil Producers \u2018No\u0107njak 2024,\u2019 which is being held from 14 to 17 March in Zadar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, the President of the Republic sees no reason for Croatia to be a European charity case. \u201cThis does not mean that we are poor, but we are currently in such a position and our goal is to get out of it and to be the ones who will help others and who will ensure profitability, sometimes extra profitability, on our products and knowledge. There is no reason why Croatian olive oil should not be among those products that will not only make money, but make very good money. However, this requires a rule-based state,\u201d the President pointed out, adding that it also calls for leadership that will fight for the interests of its country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President of the Republic reminded that olive oil was not always a high-quality and recognized product from Croatia, but this has changed. \u201cWhat has happened with olive oil in the last 30 years is actually a quality-of-life matter, culture-of-the-heart matter, a matter of our relationship with tradition and something that has always been there. But it simply took some time to finally accept it,\u201d he said, adding as he is very conservative and traditional in this matter. \u201cI still look at olive oil in the old, traditional way, as a food staple, as an essential part of the land workers\u2019 diet. It is very good that you \u2013 unlike the Dalmatian land workers of long ago \u2013 sell all your goods,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 told those present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The olive growers and olive oil producers event, whose longstanding organization contributes to the promotion and advancement of olive growing in Croatia and facilitates business ties between domestic and foreign olive growers and oil producers, is organized by the Dalmatian cooperative alliance and held under the auspices of the President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, also delivering welcome remarks at the event\u2019s official opening were the President of the Dalmatian cooperative alliance Lordan Ljubenkov, State Secretary from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports Ton\u010di Glavina, and Minister of Agriculture Marija Vu\u010dkovi\u0107, who also served as the Prime Minister\u2019s delegate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the opening of \u2018No\u0107njak 2024\u2019 and the presentation of special annual awards to laureates credited for their contributions to the advancement of olive growing and olive oil production in Croatia, President Milanovi\u0107, accompanied by the host, toured the exhibitors\u2019 stands at the fair, including representatives of numerous companies and family farms who presented their products and services related to olive growing and olive oil production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
