Commenting on reforms, President Milanovi\u0107 added that the counties would not be abolished and the number of municipalities would not be reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat was done in 1993 without a referendum, at the height of the war, when there were more pressing priorities than local government, will not be easily reversed,\u201d the President of the Republic underscored. He said that the counties, as the form of administration and \u201ctransmission between the central government (and local government) in a country of just four million people,\u201d made more sense than regions, adding that a renewed division of Croatia into so-called regions would be disintegration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Milanovi\u0107 expressed hope that Vara\u017edin County would continue \u201cin the right direction\u201d and emphasized the importance of absorbing EU funds which is, as he put it, a measure of success.<\/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\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija-1-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija-1-768x512.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\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija1-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija1-768x512.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\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija2-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija2-768x512.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\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija3-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija3-768x512.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\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija4-1024x683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Varazdinska-zupanija4-768x512.jpg')\"><\/a>\n            <!--end single-->\n        <\/div>\n<!--end GALLERY BLOCK-->\n\n\n\n<p>PHOTO: Office of the President of the Republic of Croatia \/ Dra\u017een Volari\u0107<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 took part in the formal session of the Vara\u017edin County Assembly marking County Day, where he emphasized that counties, as the form of administration, are better than division into regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5217,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-5229","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-cat-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
