Croatia Statehood Day 2022

Google Dooles 30.05.2022 07:00  Date: May 30, 2022 Today’s Doodle celebrates Croatia’s Statehood Day. On May 30,1990, Croatia established its first democratically-elected, multi-party parliament. Despite forming its parliament, Croatia couldn’t immediately separate from the former Yugoslavia. A year later, parliament finally gained the power to declare independence on June 25, 1991, after 93% of citizens voted for Croatia to become a sovereign state. This event holds the record for the largest voter turnout in Croatian history and is considered one of the most significant Croatian historical events. Statehood Day commemorates the country’s transition to democracy, and Croatians celebrate by attending family reunions, picnics and barbeques. Public officials also lay memorial wreaths at various landmarks to honor the fallen soldiers who fought for freedom. Happy Statehood Day, Croatia! Or shall we say—Dan državnosti! Location: Tags: , , ,
