All protagonists were mostly moderate individuals. None of them encouraged hate or national intolerance. Those people tried to do better, first of all Miko Tripalo, but others as well. Some of them paid a heavy price, like Marko Veselica, an unimaginable price, the man spent more than a decade in prison. As for the others, their lives changed, but practically all of them lived to see Croatia as an independent, young, yet also an old state in a certain way. A state of identity and pride, a state of awareness of where it belongs, how small yet at the same time how big it is\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding membership in the European Union and NATO, President Milanovi\u0107 considers it&nbsp; just a further step on Croatia\u2019s path. \u201cSomething we should honestly get the most benefit for ourselves. We\u2019re a small people, a small state and a small nation. Four million people live in Croatia and wonders can be made with these people in this area, which is small, scarcely populated, yet has extraordinary resources. These areas are insignificant if tough, intelligent and ambitious people don\u2019t settle in them. Citizens of Sinj never lacked such ambitions\u201d, President Milanovi\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attending the presentation of the conference proceedings entitled \u201cSinj and the Croatian Spring\u201d alongside President Milanovi\u0107 was the Adviser for Human Rights and Civil Society Melita Muli\u0107.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/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_0043.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0043.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_0057.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0057.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_0072.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0072.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_0087.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0087.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_0141.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0141.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_0168.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0168.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_0196.jpg\"\n               style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.predsjednik.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/DSC_0196.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 \/ Dario Andri\u0161ek<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The President of the Republic Zoran Milanovi\u0107 attended the presentation of the conference proceedings entitled \u201cSinj i Hrvatsko prolje\u0107e\u201d (Sinj and the Croatian Spring) on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Croatian Spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9235,"template":"","news-cat":[12],"class_list":["post-9257","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 -
