The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended the formal session of the Split City Council held in the Croatian National Theatre in Split on the occasion of the Feast of Saint Domnius and City Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his address President Milanovi\u0107 recalled his ties to Split noting that the \u201csignificance, influence and mark of this city on me as an individual are immeasurable. The quantity of talents and beauty that exists in this small area located between Omi\u0161 and Trogir is incredibly above average. I don\u2019t see this anywhere in Europe\u201d, the President stated, adding that the City of Split has not made a lot of progress in terms of industry, but is a showcase of talent, energy, passion, desire and results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President reminisced about his childhood when he would come to Split from Sinj \u201cto see Hajduk, the old stadium, Plac football field. The city was dirty, the port was disgusting. Today Split is more beautiful and cleaner than ever. It was simply a special city\u201d, he said. He also recalled the group of former Hajduk football players underlining the great talent and organizational skills that Split gave, dominating European football for years. \u201cMaybe it didn\u2019t make it to the top, but where it did go, I can\u2019t find anything to compare in Europe. Such a small community gave such quality, which was a combination of talent and work\u201d, the President stressed, adding that he\u2019s not saying this for Hajduk\u2019s sake, for whom he used to cheer. \u201cI\u2019m not a fan anymore, I used to be crazy about the club, but now I\u2019m rooting for the Croatian National Team\u201d, he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to preserve this small space, great nation, great and interesting people, our Croatia, and not dream that there\u2019ll be twenty million of us, because there won\u2019t. The main thing is to maintain ourselves and strive for the best. To be aware of our talent and our limitations. To be aware that on a population of four million there\u2019s no such nation in Europe with so much diversity, culture, customs and history. Rare are those who are able to blend all of this into one functional, successful and competitive nation. This is where I see the Croatian force, the rest is work. The European Union is work. For this reason we have to take that money, since we\u2019re not in the European Union for the sake of some great ideals but for the sake of practical ideals. And our ideals are our national ideals, and universal human ideals that go beyond and above the European Union\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said, and concluded that the money from European funds gives meaning to the part of sovereignty that we gave the European Union, consciously and of our own free will, in order to receive more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Awards of the City were presented to this year\u2019s recipients at the formal session by the Mayor of the City of Split Andro Krstulovi\u0107 Opara and the president of the Split City Council Igor Stani\u0161i\u0107 on the occasion of Saint Domnius Day and City of Split Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attending the event with President Milanovi\u0107 were the Head of the Cabinet of the President of the Republic Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107, the Adviser to the President of the Republic of Croatia for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\u0107 and the Adviser to the President of the Republic of Croatia for Education Jadranka \u017darkovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
