Hrvoje Bujanović, State Secretary in the Ministry of the Economy and Sustainable Development, congratulated the gathered entrepreneurs and craftsmen on their hard work and pointed out that micro and small entrepreneurs and craftsmen were the foundations of the economy.

“The policy of the Government of the Republic of Croatia is to maintain social cohesion, protect the purchasing power of citizens, but, of course, without entrepreneurs who are the backbone of development and who make up a large part of the GDP there is no development. I thank you and I congratulate you on everything you have done because you, micro and small entrepreneurs and craftsmen, are the driving force of the development of the Croatian economy,” said Bujanović.
