During the event, which included the presentation of public awards, he praised the Zagreb municipal authorities and city administration for successfully stabilizing finances despite inheriting a \u201cterrible situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the last three years, we\u2019ve witnessed significant changes in the way Zagreb is governed, primarily concerning public finances. Considering the challenges we\u2019ve faced and the hardships we\u2019ve endured, the progress here is commendable. Things are being done the right way. You have chosen a difficult path, one without instant solutions, and there are a million challenges,\u201d stated President Milanovi\u0107 in his speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on the average salary in Zagreb, President Milanovi\u0107 remarked, \u201cThe average salary here is 1,600 euros, yet only 25 percent of the population earns this amount. We need to focus on the median salary in such an expensive city. Efforts should be made to alleviate the burden of living costs for residents. While it\u2019s possible to live on 1,600 euros in Zagreb, the challenge lies in how to do so, considering the impact of inflation,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107, urging the Zagreb leadership to pursue achievable and realistic goals, as there is much that can be accomplished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBe resilient in areas where your predecessor was not. You\u2019ve inherited a terrible situation, but you\u2019ve succeeded in stabilizing the city finances, managing money more effectively and efficiently, ahead of schedule. This conservative and restrained approach may cause discomfort in certain business circles, but it is crucial to maintain it, as the alternative is far worse. While we may wish for immediate perfection, it\u2019s not realistic,\u201d said the President of the Republic, extending his congratulations on City of Zagreb Day and encouraging the Zagreb administration to persevere on this difficult path. \u201cThroughout history, this has been the Croatian way \u2013 a path worth taking, one that embodies both resilience and compassion,\u201d concluded President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, Jo\u0161ko Klisovi\u0107, the President of the Zagreb City Assembly, Tomislav Toma\u0161evi\u0107, the Mayor of Zagreb, and Andrej Plenkovi\u0107, the Croatian Prime Minister, also addressed the audience. As part of the City of Zagreb Day celebrations, Mayor Tomislav Toma\u0161evi\u0107 and President of the City Assembly Jo\u0161ko Klisovi\u0107 presented awards to this year\u2019s recipients during the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 was accompanied by Velibor Ma\u010dki\u0107, Special Adviser to the President of the Republic for the Economy.<\/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\/2024\/05\/DSC_5347-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DSC_5347-768x432.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\/2024\/05\/DSC_5370-1-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DSC_5370-1-768x432.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\/2024\/05\/DSC_5530-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DSC_5530-768x432.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\/2024\/05\/DSC_5615-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DSC_5615-768x432.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\/2024\/05\/DSC_5819-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/DSC_5819-768x432.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Marko Beljan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 took part in the City of Zagreb Day ceremony.
