\u201cLet us be wise, smart, prudent, and sceptical when making important decisions, because only that, as history tells us, has safeguarded us,\u201d said the President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 from Makarska, where he participated in a special session of the Town Council held on the occasion of Municipal Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address at the ceremony, President Milanovi\u0107 stated that in today\u2019s world, we should be selfish and, in certain matters, consider our own interests, and \u201cthink in a way that only we, and only we, care about this country, about the people who live in it, about its citizens.\u201d \u201cCroatia is the state of the Croatian people, the only one after hundreds of years, but it is also for all others who live in Croatia, who share the same fate, see the same path, and desire the same happiness, security, well-being, and that blissful peace in which freedom will not just be another word when you have nothing left to lose. Croatia is a country with much to lose if it is not governed wisely and if careful thought is not given before making many decisions,\u201d emphasized President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raising the question of what freedom represents in Croatia in 2024, what it means to us, and how it was achieved, President Milanovi\u0107 said: \u201cWe know how Croatia won its freedom, we know who made sacrifices, we know how unique this story is, and we know how unrepeatable it is.\u201d He emphasized that because of this hard-won freedom, we must be proud of ourselves and remind ourselves that we are different and special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, President Milanovi\u0107 stated that we must preserve what we have and that \u201cin all matters of statecraft \u2013 as well as those concerning the environment and urban planning \u2013 care must be taken, above all, to preserve it, not to devalue it, and not to put it in jeopardy or at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly in this way can we truly be our own bosses, creators of our own money, wealth, and security. There is no other way, and that decision can only be ours. Whenever I come to or pass through certain \u2018checkpoints\u2019 of our identity and homeland \u2013 when I descend from Jelenje toward Rijeka, from Vratnik toward Senj, and now through this tunnel \u2013 each time, I stop everything I\u2019m doing to look around and remind myself of how unique and beautiful it is, how much freedom it represents to have it, and how we must do everything to ensure it is neither endangered nor lost,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to President Milanovi\u0107, the President of the Town Council Gordana Muhti\u0107, Mayor Zoran Paunovi\u0107, Head of the Municipality of Stari Grad Sarajevo Irfan \u010cengi\u0107, Mayor of Ogulin Dalibor Domitrovi\u0107, and Deputy Prefect of Split-Dalmatia County and delegate of the Prime Minister of Croatia, Anto \u0160o\u0161i\u0107, spoke at special session of the Makarska Town Council. Public awards were also presented to the most deserving individuals for their contributions to the town\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melita Muli\u0107, Adviser to the President of the Republic for Human Rights and Civil Society, accompanied President Milanovi\u0107 in Makarska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
