Easter Greetings from the President of the Republic to Eastern Orthodox Faithful

The President of the Republic of Croatia Zoran Milanović extended Easter greetings to all citizens who celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar. The President’s message reads as follows:

“I wish all our fellow citizens of the Orthodox faith a happy Easter. The greatest Christian holiday brings people hope and faith in the victory of life, good and light, in a better tomorrow that will come despite the difficulties we face. We live in a time when peace, solidarity, mutual understanding and respect for diversity are absolutely necessary for building that better tomorrow.

Let the messages of Easter at the same time be an invitation to all the faithful, and to all of us, to build a society in which universal values will be respected – the values of kindness, solidarity and tolerance, mutual diversity and dignity of every human being. I hope that all of you who are celebrating tomorrow will spend the Easter holiday in peace and joy with your families and friends. Happy Easter, Hristos voskrese!”
