\u201cAfter people, space is the greatest asset of this region and of Croatian tourism. This island, i.e. the largest part of the inhabited area of \u200b\u200bthe island, is mature and spatially defined because it has passed its formative period. In the last thirty years, apart from constant work on improvements, there have been no major five-year interventions and new non-building projects, more or less it has remained as it was then. I look at this island and admire it. This should be preserved”, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 stated last night at the special session of the Municipal Council of Jelsa, on island of Hvar, where he is staying on the occasion of Municipal Day and the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking further about Jelsa, President Milanovi\u0107 believes that the current limits that this area can withstand are sufficient, otherwise saturation would occur. “You should strive for better, better quality, something special, be aware of what our strong assets are, and they are the sun and the sea that nature and God have given us. This is a competitive advantage of Croatia that other countries generally do not have. Therefore, we should guard it jealously with all our might and think about it every day. We are good at it, you are, and it is up to us to refine it and not botch it up,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address, the President of the Republic said that the arrival of foreigners is a reality and at the same time the biggest challenge Croatia faces. \u201cOur population is declining and we can give in to moral panic and talk about Croatia’s demise, but the number of Croatian people will not increase in the coming period. It\u2019s not realistic to expect that,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWars in the east between Russia and Ukraine, crimes in Gaza, murders, war crimes \u2013 these are all things that we are watching, but from which, if we are a little smart, we will get out and mind our own business. However, this concerns us because we are a small country with a special culture. The process of the arrival of foreigners to our country should be strictly defined, measured and observed from all sides with the aim of making them learn the language and accept the local culture, but I am not including religion\u201d, stressed President Milanovi\u0107, adding that we must adapt to reality because we need people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will have to roll up our sleeves and teach our children and grandchildren about it,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the special session in addition to President Milanovi\u0107 were the president of the Municipal Council of Jelsa Jure Gurduli\u0107, the head of the Municipality Nik\u0161a Peronja and the Minister of Health Vili Bero\u0161. On the occasion of Municipal Day public recognitions and awards were presented to deserving individuals and organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Head of the Cabinet of the President Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107 and the Adviser to the President for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
