Parliament Speaker issued Christmas message

Zagreb - Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković on Saturday issued message offering his best wishes to all Croatians for Christmas.

Offering his best wishes for Christmas to Croatians in the homeland and abroad, Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković said he hoped for Christmas to bring peace and love to everyone and inspire more solidarity, understanding and respect.

"As in Croatia we await the coming holidays in peace and security, we must not forget those who await Christmas amidst destruction and war. So many people will spend these holidays far away from their families and home: From Ukraine and the Middle East to all the other places of suffering, pain and darkness in the world," said Jandroković.

"It is our responsibility as Christians and humans to actively contribute to solving common problems and building a more harmonious society," he said, adding that everyone was called upon to expand the space of dialogue thus helping prevent new fatal divisions and animosities in the future.
