The President of the Republic, Zoran Milanovi\u0107, participated today in the ceremony of presentation of recognition award on the occasion of City of Zagreb Day. He congratulated the laureates and said that these are significant awards \u201cthat must be backed by work, knowledge and dedication\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cZagreb, our beloved city, is my hometown where I have spent my entire life. Zagreb is the synthesis of Croatia as a country, homeland, as a state of political Croatism, a city of Croats, Serbs and, throughout history, other nationalities. A city that has been growing for the last hundred years and growing on human contribution and human settlement. First as a strictly Kajkavian small community, then people from a wider circle began to come, then people from Lika at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century as entrepreneurs, and then Dalmatians came after the Second World War, and, in greater numbers, people from Herzegovina\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 stated, emphasizing that we now have to face and live with a city that will change in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the President referred to foreign workers who come and live in Zagreb and do jobs that he thinks our children should do. \u201cWe have become a little spoiled. At some point, we will have to see where the line is and what jobs are not worthy of us and whether they should really be done at all costs by someone who is not from here and who comes from a distant world with their longings, fears, ambitions and abandoned homeland, because these are people just like us,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President also sent a message to the Zagreb city government: \u201cAbove all, I want our city to be well-run, to be strictly run, but not in a regime-like, not repressive way,\u201d he said, adding that he expects there to be more communal order, highlighting the problem of property destruction by graffiti. Furthermore, he told them to take money from European Union funds. \u201cTry to get the last euro from those funds legally, for any purpose, because the worst thing is for that money to go to waste. That money is our money,\u201d President Milanovi\u0107 told them, pointing out that we paid for the opportunity to use that money by renouncing elements of statehood that belong to the state, like all other members, especially smaller ones. \u201cOur duty is to use these funds\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing the gathering besides President Milanovi\u0107 were Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister and delegate of the Prime Minister Marko Primorac, and the mayor of Zagreb Tomislav Toma\u0161evi\u0107, who presented recognition awards to this year\u2019s laureates on the occasion of Zagreb City Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s winners of the City of Zagreb awards are film and theatre director, screenwriter and producer Lana Bari\u0107; academic director Kre\u0161imir Dolen\u010di\u0107; Prof. Nikica Gili\u0107, PhD, sculptor Zvonimir Gra\u010dan; writer and editor Monika Herceg;  writer Damir Karaka\u0161; director Neboj\u0161a Slijep\u010devi\u0107; senior research associate at Ru\u0111er Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 Institute Marina \u0160ekutor PhD; president of the Zagreb Chamber of Trades and Crafts and owner of \u201cGR \u2013 Trojnar Antun construction company\u201d Antun Trojnar; Artistic organization Zagreba\u010dki solisti; Head of Nutrition Science and Healthcare for top athletes at the Croatian Olympic Committee Mimi Vurdelja; members of the Psychological Crisis Response Team; Psihomodo pop rock band and musical artist Darko Rundek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Adviser to the President for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
