\u201cThe company \u201cMarde\u0161i\u0107\u201d received 85 percent of its funds from the European Union, and that is the good side of the story with the European Union, because they finance, and money is directed to projects in such, relatively speaking, isolated locations,\u201d said the President of the Republic, Zoran Milanovi\u0107, after visiting the company with a longstanding tradition of processing pelagic fish in Sali, on the island of Dugi Otok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe European Union provided 85 percent of the funds because it fits the concept of the big (powers) and those who have the money, because it is not in competition with anyone in Berlin, Brussels, Paris or Amsterdam. It allows us to keep some shapes and customs of the old life and to earn something. But they will not give us 85 percent for something in Zadar, for something that competes with them. You have to fight for it yourself. For them in the EU, this is folklore, but for us it is life,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that people used to leave Dugi Otok because it was isolated, while today people come to work on the island, mostly foreigners. \u201cI saw local people there, but the workers are mostly foreigners,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107 after visiting the company\u2019s production facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanied by company Director Marina Depolo and owner Pavle Paunovi\u0107, President Milanovi\u0107 toured the production facility of the company \u201cMarde\u0161i\u0107,\u201d which was founded in 1905. The company started operations and canning fish in 1907, when it did business under the name \u201cNeptun,\u201d later changing its name to \u201cMarde\u0161i\u0107.\u201d It flourished in the years after World War II and became synonymous with the quality of canned fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its heyday, 400 workers were employed in the factory. Today, the company has slightly more than 80 workers. Daily production reaches up to 70,000 cans, which are sold on the domestic and export markets. Through continuous investment in production processes and the development of new products, the company strives to maintain its position as a major player on the domestic market, as well as to continue expanding to other European markets, it was said during the President\u2019s visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, social responsibility was emphasized as one of the cornerstones on which the business of the company \u201cMarde\u0161i\u0107\u201d rests, because throughout the entire history of its business, an honest partnership between the company and the community was maintained. Likewise, the company constantly invests in production and its employees while ensuring that the quality of the fish remains at a high level. In this sense, it was emphasized that particular focus is placed on the freshness and origin of the fish and on the preservation of the fish stock, especially sardines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied on his visit to the company \u201cMarde\u0161i\u0107\u201d by the Head of the Office of the President of the Republic Orsat Miljeni\u0107 and the Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for the Economy Velibor Ma\u010dki\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
