President Milanović Meets Psychotherapy Association Representatives on the Occasion of World Mental Health Day
The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović met today with representatives of the Union of Psychotherapy Associations of Croatia, the Životna linija (Lifeline) Association, and the Croatian Union of Mental Health Associations on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, which is observed on the 10th of October.
President Milanović tells decorated individuals in culture, sciences and sports: You are a source of pride to yourselves and society
“You represent a synthesis of Croatian society in one segment. You are not a homogenous group; you are outstanding individuals that represent a narrower scope of the pinnacle of achievement in what you do. You have been nominated with reason and will be decorated to my joy and satisfaction. Behind each and every one of you is a completely individual and unique story that cannot be fit into any mould. You are what you are – a source of pride to yourselves and society“, the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović told the recipients of decorations and recognitions of the Republic of Croatia in culture, sciences and sports, which he presented to them today.
President Milanović: The initiative to abolish unanimity in EU decision-making has neither my support nor that of the Croatian Government
“The initiative by Slovenia, Germany and several other countries that certain decisions of the European Union should no longer be made unanimously but by a qualified majority, as far as I know, does not have the support of the Croatian Government, nor does it have mine. I believe that unanimity can only be changed through amendments to the fundamental treaties. That is a complicated process, and I see a trap in that. So, unanimity must not be abandoned — in my view, it is an instinctive defense mechanism of small states against much larger ones that do not understand us and do not see us,” said the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović in Durrës on Monday, after taking part in a meeting of the heads of state within the Brdo-Brijuni Process, commenting on the initiative to abolish unanimity in EU decision-making on certain issues.
