Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković issued an Easter message on Saturday, wishing all citizens of Croatia and those who believe in the resurrection of Christ a joyful and blessed Easter.
"Easter, the holiday of love and charity, has always been an encouragement to Christian believers to make a stronger and lasting personal commitment to caring for their neighbours in need or for the most vulnerable members of our society," Jandroković said.
"Public office holders in Croatia, in particular Christians among them, are called upon to lead such efforts with their own example, promoting the spirit of solidarity, unity and trust regardless of how challenging the circumstance in which they work may be," he said.
"It is our duty not to forget our compatriots in need, those who are sick or without their loved ones, or other people in the world who are experiencing hard times, injustices or oppression," he added.
"This Easter, too, the Croatian people are in thoughts with the friendly people of Ukraine who are again celebrating Easter in the circumstances of an imposed war, like our homeland three decades ago," Jandroković said.
