Parliament Speaker: May New Year bring prosperity to all

Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jadroković on Tuesday extended a message for the 2020 year wishing prosperity in the private, family and business life of Croatian citizens and expressing hope that the new year is an incentive for thinking about one's own contribution to the further strengthening of Croatia.

"I wish that in the spirit of optimism and unity, the beginning of the new year can serve as an incentive for thinking about one's own contribution to the further strengthening of our homeland and the Croatian society in resolute endeavours to address all the possible challenges," Jandrokovic writes in his seasonal greetings.

"Our joint aim is to see to it that Croatia is developed as a prosperous country, with stable and strong institutions and economic and demographic growths, in parallel with the strengthening of social equity and solidarity for the purpose of creating a high-quality, dignified future of all the Croatian citizens," he added.

As for the national parliament, Jandroković promised the work on further strengthening of the legislative framework and adoption of legislative proposals meeting the demands and needs of all citizens in order to raise the quality of their life and promote political stability.

Jandroković recalls the legislative activities taken by the parliament to date have created a positive economic atmosphere that is supposed to "encourage us to invest more knowledge, commitment and thinking in the development of social, political and economic values in our homeland."

The Sabor will give its strong contribution to efforts to ensure the accomplishment of the goals and priorities of the Croatian presidency of the Council of the European Union for the purpose of creating a stronger Europe "in a world of challenges", Jandroković says in the message he forwarded on his own behalf and that of the Parliament.

 "I wish a happy New Year to all Croatians and all citizens who have chosen Croatia as their homeland," he added.
