The Spouse of the President of the Republic of Croatia Prof. Sanja Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107, MD, PhD participated in the Joint International Paediatric, School and Adolescent Medicine and Health Congress: \u201cStronger Together \u2013 For Better Health among Children, Adolescents and Young Adults\u201d in Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The congress, taking place in Portoro\u017e, gathered experts from across Europe and the globe in the field of child and youth health. Prof. Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107, MD, PhD participated in the plenary panel session \u201cSoft path to Zagreb Declaration\u201c and a round table on the impact of the Zagreb Declaration together with Ale\u0161 Musar, MD, PhD, Spouse of the President of the Republic of Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree years ago, the Zagreb Declaration laid the foundations for a coordinated action against childhood obesity across the European region. Today, in Portoro\u017e, we have the opportunity to present that this path was not a one-off event, but a continued process \u2013 from launching the \u201cNetwork on the Prevention of Childhood Obesity\u201d, followed by national action plan adoptions, to a wider political support,\u201d said Prof. Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107, MD, PhD referring to the Zagreb Declaration which was adopted at the Summit of the Spouses of European Leaders, which was held in May 2023 and organised by the Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia and the WHO Regional Office for Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107 MD, PhD recalled that, following the Zagreb Declaration, Croatia adopted a comprehensive Action Plan on Obesity Prevention for the period 2024-2027. She also announced that Croatia will host the EASO (European Association for the Study of Obesity) Masterclass Series \u201cChildhood Obesity Masterclass Series\u201d for young researchers, physicians and health professionals from all over Europe in Zagreb in March 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSlovenia is one of the best examples of how the recommendations of the Zagreb Declaration can be adapted to a national context, thanks to the dedicated work of experts brought together at the initiative of Doctor Ale\u0161 Musar. At the same time, we have seen that childhood obesity prevention is becoming a priority on the European Union level. Our common task is to turn political will into concrete and measurable policies,\u201d emphasised the Spouse of the President of the Republic of Croatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Sanja Musi\u0107 Milanovi\u0107, MD, PhD, the round table on the impact of the Zagreb Declaration was also attended by Ale\u0161 Musar, MD, PhD, Spouse of the President of the Republic of Slovenia. The Congress in Portoro\u017e, which is taking place from 24 to 26 September 2026, has gathered hundreds of experts in the field of paediatrics, school and adolescent medicine from across Europe and the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
