Croatia Statehood Day 2021

Google Dooles 30.05.2021 06:15  Date: May 30, 2021 Today’s Doodle celebrates Croatia’s Statehood Day, known locally as Dan državnosti. Each year on May 30, the European country celebrates its declaration of independence, which was announced on this day in 1991. Statehood Day traditions typically center around speeches given out by local dignitaries and parades in Jelačić Square, a historic location in the heart of the country’s capital of Zagreb. Gala concerts with choirs and symphonies are held in front of Croatia’s National Theatre, while memorial wreaths are laid at local landmarks by state leaders to honor those that fought for freedom. As the past is honored by government officials, so too are the hopes for a Croatian future that continues to lead as a beacon of freedom, democracy, and the continued pursuit of a better society for all its citizens. Happy Statehood Day, Croatia! Location: Tags: , , , ,
