The main activities and projects highlighted were the implementation of educational programs on tolerance, organization of school workshops for children, development of projects preventing peer violence, and connecting with global peace networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As one of the most important projects of the Association, Marijan Gubina highlighted his lectures in which he speaks through the lens of a personal life tragedy about the importance of peace, human dignity and the power of forgiveness. As a child, Gubina and his family were imprisoned for 260 days in a Serbian camp during the Croatian Homeland War, about which he wrote in his autobiographical novel &#8220;260 Days&#8221;. A feature film based on his novel was also made and premiered in November last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He holds lectures for pupils, students, educators, parents and the general public. Since 2013, the lecture &#8220;Peacemaker&#8221; has been held more than 2,000 times in Croatia, Poland, Germany, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and has been attended by more than 300,000 participants, he said, emphasizing that the main goal of his lectures is the development of a culture of peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Association Peacemakers has around 300 volunteer members and no one from the association receives a fee for their activities, as stated at the meeting which was attended by the vice president of the Association Zoran \u0160egi\u0107, the representative of the Association for the Federal Republic of Germany \u017darko Toma\u0161evi\u0107, the representative of the Little Peacemakers project Anastazija Gubina, the representative of the Little Peacemakers project Marijan Gubina, the president of the Kultura Snova Association Zdravko Odor\u010di\u0107, the founder of the Center for Peace, Nonviolence and Human Rights Osijek Katarina Kruhonja, the coordinator of the Peacemaker project of the Bjelovar-Bilogora County Igor Crnomari\u0107, and activists Darinka Ra\u0161uo and Zoran Torbica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the President&#8217;s Adviser for Human Rights and Civil Society, Melita Muli\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n<!--GALLERY BLOCK-->\n<div class=\"c-lightbox-gallery js-lightbox\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\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\/2026\/05\/DSC_5279-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_5279-768x432.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\/2026\/05\/DSC_5297-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_5297-768x432.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\/2026\/05\/DSC_5328-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_5328-768x432.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\/2026\/05\/DSC_5364-1024x576.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC_5364-768x432.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>On the occasion of International Peacekeepers Day, which is celebrated on May 29, President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 received today the members of the Association Peacekeepers, a non-governmental organization dedicated to peacebuilding, fostering tolerance, and providing humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43406,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-43407","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
