Čestitka povodom Dana državnosti Republike Hrvatske!🇭🇷
Danas slavimo dan na koji je 1990. godine konstituiran prvi demokratski izabrani višestranački Sabor, čime su udareni temelji suvremene i samostalne hrvatske države. Na ovaj se dan s ponosom vijori hrvatska zastava na Federation Squareu u Melbourneu.

Happy Statehood Day of the Republic of Croatia! 🇭🇷
Today, we celebrate the day in 1990 when the first democratically elected multi-party Parliament was constituted, laying the foundations of a modern and independent Croatian state. On this day, the Croatian flag proudly flies at Federation Square in Melbourne.

The Victorian Croatian Chamber of Commerce, led by Tina Bennett, collaborated with the Croatian Consulate to honor Croatian Statehood Day last night. We held our celebration at the elegant Ducksnest space in South Melbourne for an evening of celebration to mark Croatia's birthday. We were also delighted to welcome Robert Blaić, CEO of the Croatian Mint, Betty Pavelich, Croatian Ambassador to Australia, and Joseph Petric, Consul General in Melbourne. Our heartfelt gratitude goes to Suzana and Velimir Pehar, the gracious owners, for hosting us and showcasing stunning Croatian furniture, a true reflection of Croatian craftsmanship and pride. This event was also enhanced with songs sang by folkloric group Mladi Hrvati (Clifton Hill) and Croatian food. Events like this remind us of our rich Croatian cultural heritage and they strengthen ties within our community. Hvala lijepa!
