Croatian Embassy in Washington D.C.
Join us in honoring the 30th anniversary of Croatia's Statehood Day
We invite you to join us in honoring Croatia's Statehood Day, May 30th, marking this year the 30th anniversary of the historic formation of the first democratically elected Croatian Parliament, Hrvatski sabor, the very beating heart of our democracy, following the first multi-party elections bringing down decades of communist rule. Having created this opportunity to express their free and sovereign will, the Croatian citizens would achieve their national independence, joining the family of Western democracies. 30 years after that historic day in 1990, facing many odds and challenges in the meantime, Croatia will make it big, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
This year, facing the calamity wreaked upon the world by the pandemic brought by the novel coronavirus, we invite you to honor the Statehood Day in the safety of your family circle or alone, respecting the protective measures against the contagion; next year, we would like to celebrate the Statehood Day with you at our Embassy.
During this tragic times of dangerous disease, affecting everyone's life, our thoughts and prayers are with those who have lost their lives or who are suffering, with their families and friends; our deepest gratitude, admiration and support goes to the frontline personnel, to the medical and health care professionals, scientists and to everybody else fighting the pandemic, in Croatia, in America, and across the world.
