President Milanovi\u0107 said about \u0110akovo, which is marking 782 years of the first mention of its name that it is a town in which something urban has been taking place for close to 800 years, and in the last two hundred years modern Croatian history has been happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCroats, catholics, Germans and other nationalities have lived here, large churches were built, the people became literate\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 noted in his address. \u201cThe war is behind us and chances are big, enormous\u201d, he added, and said that on his first visit to \u0110akovo he expected a small town damaged by the war. \u201cNot in the physical sense but in the sense of stagnation and missed opportunities that are before us and that were before Croatia at the end of the 1980s. We paid a heavy price, and those who attacked us paid an even heavier one\u201d, the President stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are now in the European Union and once again we divided and surrendered part of our sovereignty and autonomy to someone else who is slightly larger and stronger than we are. That was a rational decision, not a decision from the heart. As for the European Union, it\u2019s first of all a project on paper because what binds us to other European nations is certainly principles and values, but what interests us is money\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 said and insisted on the importance of absorbing European funds. \u201cThese are huge sums of money that we can take and that are offered to us more than ever. They should be absorbed because there is no justification for not doing so. I\u2019m saying this because I see here as in many other Croatian cities that things are progressing and that these funds are being absorbed\u201d, the President stated, and warned that we\u2019ll miss a chance is we\u2019re not persistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President Milanovi\u0107 referred to the departure of Croatian citizens to other European countries saying that we cannot substitute them with newborn children because there are no newborn children and the numbers will never be what we wish them to be. \u201cThere won\u2019t be seven million of us, but our population will be like the Norwegians and Finns, small but strong nations. We\u2019ll need workers in Croatia and that\u2019s an issue we will not deal with easily\u201d, he said. \u201cWe\u2019re a small country and that\u2019s an advantage. It\u2019s essential that there are as many of us as we are now and that we use our resources, our know-how and our intelligence wisely in a fair competition with other nations\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attending the formal session of the Town of \u0110akovo\u2019s Municipal Council was the Head of the Cabinet of the President Bartol \u0160imuni\u0107.<\/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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5610.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5610.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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5683.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5683.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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5718.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5718.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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5802.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5802.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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5838.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5838.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\/2021\/05\/DSC_5874.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_5874.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 Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended the formal session of the Town of \u0110akovo\u2019s Municipal Council on the occasion of Municipal Day.
