This is hard work, a long journey, and I thank you deeply for these efforts. Continue doing the quality and dedicated work you\u2019ve started. Your example should inspire others, because Croatians are not only in Western Australia but also in other far-off parts of the world. They, too, should try something similar, put in the effort, and know that our doors will always be open to them, and they will feel our gratitude. This is a small way for us to show that gratitude,\u201d concluded President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Charter of the Republic of Croatia was received by Luka Jur\u010devi\u0107, President of the Western Australian Croatian Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For twenty years, the Western Australian Croatian Chamber of Commerce (WACCC) has played a pivotal role in fostering trade and investment relations, as well as economic cooperation between Western Australia and Croatia. Over the years, it has brought entrepreneurs and Australian companies to Croatia and promoted the country as a safe investment destination. The Chamber also organizes annual celebrations for Croatia\u2019s Statehood Day in Perth, the Croatian Wine Festival, and highlights the role of Croatian women in Western Australia\u2019s economy. Through financial donations, the Chamber has supported numerous initiatives to promote the Republic of Croatia in Western Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceremony, held at the Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia, was attended by Luka Jur\u010devi\u0107, President of the Western Australian Croatian Chamber of Commerce, Richard Rodgers, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Australia to the Republic of Croatia, David Anthony Tudorovi\u0107, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Croatia in Adelaide, Zoran \u0160angut, Consul of the Republic of Croatia in Perth, and Logan Howlett, Mayor of the City of Cockburn, Western Australia.<\/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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4541-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4541-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4598-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4598-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4627-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4627-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4669-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4669-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4701-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4701-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4732-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4732-768x432.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\/2025\/12\/DSC_4753-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/DSC_4753-768x432.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 \/ Tomislav Bu\u0161ljeta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanovi\u0107 today awarded the Western Australian Croatian Chamber of Commerce (WACCC) the Charter of the Republic of Croatia in recognition of its efforts to promote economic relations and its significant contribution to the development of cooperation in trade and investment between the Republic of Croatia and Western Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41533,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-41534","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
