President Milanović Tours ZeGeVege Festival of Sustainable Living in Zagreb
The President of the Republic Zoran Milanović toured today the 15th ZeGeVege festival of sustainable living taking place in Zagreb’s Europe Square organized by the Friends of Animals Association (Udruga Prijatelji životinja). This year the festival features more than 70 exhibitors. During his tour President Milanović said he likes it because of its peacefulness and because there is no aggression.
ZeGeVege is part of the international Veganmania festival held in Vienna, Munich and 15 other European cities, but surpasses them by its size and number of exhibitors and visitors.
The festival is sponsored by the City of Zagreb and supported by the President of the Republic, the Croatian Agriculture and Food Agency, the Croatian Chamber of Economy, the Environment and Nature Protection Committee of the Croatian Parliament, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
The Friends of Animals Association (Udruga Prijatelji životinja) is a non-profit non-governmental organization founded in 2001 that promotes animal protection and rights as well as vegetarianism and veganism as an ethical, environmentally-friendly and healthy lifestyle.
Alongside President Milanović was the Special Adviser to the President for the Economy Velibor Mačkić.
