The commission did not provide firm evidence that that was what had in fact happened aboard helicopter H-253, using, rather, the phrasing "I can be stated with a high degree of certainty…" What that statement could mean in a judicial process is hard to imagine.


O tome da se upravo to dogodilo u helikopteru H-253 povjerenstvo nije iznijelo čvrst dokaz nego se poslužilo tvrdnjom “s velikom sigurnošću možemo reći...”. Što takva izjava znači u sudskom procesu teško je i zamisliti.


If the high degree of certainty in the conclusion is, for example, 80 percent, does that mean that the punishment meted out to the responsible parties will be reduced by 20 percent?


Ako je velika sigurnost u zaključak primjerice 80 posto, znači li to da će se odgovornima smanjiti kazna za 20 posto?


And if isolation foam, which is alleged to have impeded the movement of the controls, is cited as the cause, then it should have been stated clearly at which point during the flight, which foam and at what location did it impede the use of the controls.


Ako su već kao uzrok spomenuli izolacijsku spužvu koja je, navodno, otežavala gibanje komandi, onda je trebalo jasno reći u kojem trenutku leta, koja spužva i na kojem mjestu je otežala upravljanje komandom.


None of this was presented to the public last week by the commission.


Ništa od navedenog povjerenstvo nije prošlog tjedna predočilo javnosti.


Not only could the foam not be brought into connection with the cause of the helicopter's fall from a single photograph at the presentation, but the entire report abounds in deficiencies and doubts.


Ne samo da se ni iz jedne fotografije na prezentaciji nije moglo spužvu dovesti ni u kakvu vezu s uzrokom pada helikoptera, nego je cjelokupno izvješće za javnost bilo prepuno nedostataka i nedoumica.


Some very important things the manufacturer stipulates were glossed over that concern VIP helicopters, as a result of which the responsibility falls again on the defence ministry structures that were responsible for securing all documentation.


Prešutjelo se neke vrlo važne činjenice koje propisuje proizvođač, a tiču se VIP helikoptera, zbog čega odgovornost opet leži na strukturama MORH-a koje su bile dužne osigurati svu dokumentaciju.


The aircraft manufacturer has set the operational time prior to the first overhaul for Mi-8 type VIP helicopters at four years, and not the ten years valid for transport helicopters of the same type.


Proizvođač zrakoplova određuje vrijeme uporabe do prvog remonta za VIP helikoptere tipa Mi-8 u trajanju od četiri godine, a ne deset godina kao što vrijedi za transportne helikoptere istog tipa.


Helicopter H-253 completed its full operational time of ten years to the first overhaul as if it was a common transport helicopter.


Helikopter H-253 odradio je puni resurs do prvog remonta od deset godina kao da je obični transportni helikopter.


Furthermore, a VIP helicopter can only be used in its VIP version up to the first overhaul.


Nadalje, VIP helikopter može biti u VIP inačici samo do prvog remonta.


After that it has to be refitted as a transport version and can no longer be used as a VIP aircraft.


Nakon toga mora biti prenamijenjen u transportnu inačicu i kao VIP se više ne može koristiti.


That did not happen.


To se nije dogodilo.


Only new spare parts are built into VIP helicopters.


Na VIP helikoptere ugrađuju se isključivo novi rezervni dijelovi.


In other words, spare parts cannot be remounted, which was also not abided by.


Drugim riječima, rezervni dijelovi ne smiju biti ponovo montirani, što također nije poštivano.


Of course, had the commission come out with this information, many in the commission would have fallen out with the defence ministry and state bodies so that it was better to remain gloss over them.


Naravno, da je povjerenstvo izišlo s ovim podacima, mnogi iz povjerenstva bi se zamjerili MORH-u i državnim tijelima pa je bilo bolje šutjeti.


When it comes to the contentious findings of the commission it should be said that it had to be entirely summed up on two to three pages with explanations included for all three possible culprits – human error, machine error and the environmental circumstances.


Kad je riječ o spornom nalazu povjerenstva, treba reći kako je on morao biti kompletno sažet na dvije do tri stranice teksta s uključenim obrazloženjem za sva tri moguća krivca - čovjeka, stroj i okolinu.


They did not answer the question why they excluded the human, i.e. pilot, factor and the factor of the environmental conditions from considerations on the cause of the accident, concerning which much could be said.


Nisu odgovorili na pitanja zbog čega su isključili faktor čovjeka odnosno pilota i faktor okoline iz razmatranja uzroka nesreće o čemu bi se moglo mnogo toga reći.


Concerning the pilot, what was the state of the crew on that day, did they all pass medical exams prior to the flight, did any of them have a medical ban, had they all been to training in line with the requirements of the assignment, why did the pilot not react for longer than ten seconds to the evident spinning of the helicopter around its vertical axis, how did the crew influence the outcome, was the reaction of the pilot and crew good or poor?


Kad je riječ o pilotu, u kakvom je stanju posada bila taj dan, jesu li svi prošli medicinski pregled prije leta, je li netko imao liječničku zabranu, jesu li svi bili u trenaži u skladu sa zahtjevom zadaće, zašto pilot nije reagirao dulje od deset sekundi na očito okretanje helikoptera oko vertikalne osi, kako je posada utjecala na ishod, je li reakcija pilota i posade bila dobra ili loša?


When it comes to the environmental conditions, what was the physical state of the atmosphere on the day in question, the air density, temperature, was their a wind blowing, was the helicopter guarded at the takeoff location, did anybody enter it while it was on the ground, how did the environmental conditions affect the outcome?


Kad je riječ o okolini, kakvo je bilo fizikalno stanje atmosfere navedenog dana, gustoća zraka, temperatura, je li puhao vjetar, je li helikopter bio čuvan na mjestu polijetanja, je li u njega netko ulazio dok je bio na zemlji, kako je okolina utjecala na ishod?


In the end the commission should have proposed measures to ensure that these kind sof things do not happen again.


Na kraju je povjerenstvo trebalo predložiti mjere kako se takve stvari ne bi više događale.


The fact is that there is another helicopter, H-254, fitted in the same VIP version as the downed H-253.


Riječ je o tome da je još jedan helikopter H-254 u istoj VIP verziji kao i srušeni H-253.


The H-254 remains flight operational since the fall of its twin H-253, and the commission has told the public nothing to this effect.


Međutim, H-254 leti još od pada svog blizanca H-253, a povjerenstvo javnosti nije ništa reklo u vezi s time.


Instead of irrefutable evidence the commission tried to impress journalists with their three-dimensional animation of the fall of the helicopter, a reconstruction flight in Vukovar, thousands of pages of written material, of which at least two thirds is technical documentation, not their own work, and the like.


Umjesto nedvosmislenih dokaza, povjerenstvo je pokušalo impresionirati novinare svojom trodimenzionalnom animacijom pada helikoptera, pa rekonstrukcijskim letom u Vukovaru, tisućama stranica pisanih materijala od kojih je barem dvije trećine materijala tehnička dokumentacija, a ne vlastiti rad i slično.


In its press release the commission established with a very high degree of certainty that the accident was caused by the fact that the foam, as an isolation material, hampered the movement of the cyclical steering controls.


U svom priopćenju povjerenstvo je ustvrdilo s vrlo velikom sigurnošću da je do nesreće došlo zbog toga što su spužve, kao izolacijski materijal, otežale pomicanje komandi cikličnog upravljanja.


Foam was found after the accident in the steering controls area, on the inner side of the protective panel in the cabin area and on the floor of the helicopter.


U području komandi upravljanja, na unutrašnjoj strani zaštitnog panela u kabinskom prostoru i na podu helikoptera nakon nesreće pronađene su spužve.


A technical analysis has determined that the foam placed on the controls create resistance and impede their movement, and can in some cases block them.


Tehničkim analizama utvrđeno je da spužve postavljene na komande stvaraju otpor i otežavaju njihovo gibanje, a u nekim slučajevima mogu ih i blokirati.


It is quite clear from that finding that there was no foam or piece of foam that had become stuck in the controls area, therefore there was no sandwich-effect of compressed foam in any of the openings through which the controls run, which would certainly have turned up in the investigation if it had been there.


Iz tog nalaza posve je jasno kako se u području komandi nije zaglavila nikakva spužva ili njen komad, dakle nema sendvič-efekta sprešane spužve u nekom otvoru kroz koji komande prolaze, a takvo što bi se sigurno našlo tijekom istrage da je postojalo.


If nothing was jammed it is an open question how foam with its almost negligible weight or some kind of pressure could have completely blocked the controls, as pilot Robert Garic, according to his statements, was unable to undertake anything.


Ako se ništa nije zaglavilo, upitno je kako spužva svojom gotovo nikakvom težinom ili nekakvim pritiskom može potpuno blokirati komande, jer je pilot Robert Garić, prema svojim izjavama, bio posve nemoćan da učini bilo što.


Obstructed flight control, for example, can result form hydraulics failure, but it is a part and parcel of pilot training and there are safe ways for the pilot to land the aircraft in that kind of situation.


Inače, otežano upravljanje, primjerice, javlja se i zbog otkaza hidraulike, ali ono je sastavni dio obuke pilota i postoje sigurni načini da piloti prizemlje letjelicu u takvoj situaciji.


That means that Garic should have known how to land the aircraft if flight controls were only impeded, which is what the commission is saying.


To znači da je Garić trebao znati prizemljiti letjelicu ako je upravljanje bilo samo otežano, što tvrdi povjerenstvo.


The fact that is evidently important to the commission, that foam was found on the floor, is entirely irrelevant, because it is likely that parts of the metal plating, carpeting and colour, and wooden parts of the interior were also found on the floor from the force of the impact.


Tvrdnja koja je povjerenstvu očito važna, da su na podu pronađene spužve, potpuno je irelevantna, jer su na podu od siline udara pronađeni vjerojatno i komadi metalne oplate, dijelovi tepiha i boje, drveni dijelovi interijera.


The helicopter was twice raised and lowered for transport and that to is a cause of the falling apart of its interior.


Helikopter je dva puta dizan i spuštan radi transporta pa je i to uzrok raspadanja njegova interijera.


This case demonstrates why a representative of the Aeronautics Technical Institute was not included in the work of the commission – because their presence would have prevented this kind of manipulation.


Ovaj slučaj pokazuje zašto u rad povjerenstva nije bio uključen predstavnik ZTZ-a - zato što bi njegova prisutnost onemogućila ovakve manipulacije.

People have been using it since prehistoric times, which can be considered a discovery of the first cheese production technology.


Ljudi ga koriste još od prethistorijskog vremena, što se može smatrati i otkrićem prve tehnologije proizvodnje sira.


Not only are they an exceptional gourmet delight, but cheeses are also the source of nutrients in forms that the body can easily use.


Osim što pružaju izuzetan gurmanski užitak sirevi su izvor hranjivih tvari i to u oblicima koje organizam može s lakoćom iskoristiti.


Cheese is a concentrated source of proteins with high biological value and almost all persons, regardless of their age, are recommended to consume all types of cheeses daily.


Sir je koncentrirani izvor bjelančevina visoke biološke vrijednosti i gotovo se svim osobama bez obzira na dob preporučuje svakodnevna konzumacija svih vrsta sireva.


Casein is the main milk protein which breaks down in the process of cheese ripening into essential amino acids needed to build muscle and other tissues, for cell and organ regeneration, functioning of the central nervous system and which need to be brought in by food, in order to have a proper growth, development and well-being of the body.


Kazein je osnovna bjelančevina mlijeka, koja se tijekom zrenja sira razgrađuje do esencijalnih aminokiselina potrebnih za izgradnju mišičnog i drugog tkiva, obnovu stanica i organa, funkcioniranje središnjeg živčanog sustava a koje je potrebno unositi hranom, za pravilan rast i razvoj i očuvanje organizma.


The content of proteins depends on the type of cheese and milk it was produced from (on the average, 9 to 37.5%).


Udjel bjelančevina ovisi o vrsti sira i mlijeka od kojeg je sir proizveden (prosječno od 9-37,5%).


The harder and older the cheese, the more protein it contains.


Što je sir tvrđi i stariji on sadrži više bjelančevina.


Given the daily protein requirements in adults and the average protein content in semi-hard cheeses that are usually consumed in our country, 100 g of cheese meets one third of daily protein needs.


S obzirom na dnevne potrebe za bjelančevinama odraslih osoba i prosječni udjel proteina u polutvrdim sirevima koji se kod nas najčešće konzumiraju, 100 g sira zadovoljava trećinu dnevnih potreba za bjelančevinama.


The fat content of cheese can vary from approximately 5 g per 100 g in dry curd cottage cheeses to about 30 g per 100 g in extra fat cheeses.


Sadržaj masti u siru može biti različit, od oko 5 g na 100 g u posnim sirevima do oko 30 g na 100 g u ekstra masnim sirevima.


Milk fat, unlike other animal fats, has more short-chain fatty acids of suitable structure and a lower melting point, which helps improve their digestibility.


Mliječna mast, za razliku od drugih masti životinjskog porijekla, ima više kratkolančanih masnih kiselina pogodne strukture i niže točke topljenja što pridonosi boljoj probavljivosti.


Therefore, cheese can be considered a desirable source of fat in the diet.


Zbog toga se sir može smatrati poželjnim izvorom masti u prehrani.


Cheese is a source of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K) and water-soluble vitamins (B group vitamins: B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid), but also of minerals, especially calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.


Sir je izvor vitamina topivih u mastima (vitamini A, D, E, K) i vitamina topivih u vodi (vitamini B skupine: B1, B2, B6, B12, folna kiselina), ali i mineralnih tvari posebice kalcija, fosfora i magnezija.


Calcium is the most important mineral in the body considering its share. 100 g of semi-hard cheese contains on average about 800 mg of calcium, which provides for 100% of daily calcium requirement, while 100 g of hard cheese contains as many as 1300 mg of calcium, which is the recommended daily calcium allowance for people suffering from osteoporosis.


Kalcij je najznačajniji mineral u organizmu s obzirom na njegovu zastupljenost. 100 g polutvrdog sira u prosjeku sadrži oko 800 mg kalcija, što je 100% dnevnih potreba za kalcijem, dok 100 g tvrdog sira sadrži čak 1300 mg kalcija koliko iznosi dnevna preporuka unosa kalcija za osobe oboljele od osteoporoze.


It is almost impossible to find a better source of calcium in the diet.


Bolji izvor kalcija u prehrani gotovo da i nije moguće pronaći.


Although in smaller shares, but no less important for the organism, potassium, iron, copper and zinc are also present in cheese.


Iako u manjim udjelima, ali ne i manjeg značaja za organizam, u siru su prisutni i kalij, željezo, bakar i cink.


Energy of cheese derives from its proteins and fats, because there is no lactose - milk carbohydrate in cheeses, except in farmer's and soft cheese.


Energetska vrijednost sira proizlazi iz njegovih bjelančevina i masti, jer laktoze - mliječnog ugljikohidrata u sirevima nema, osim u svježem i topljenom siru.


The average energy value of semi-hard cheeses is around 350 kcal per 100 g, and the average energy requirements of a healthy adult with moderate physical activity range from 2100 to 2900 kcal, whereas in adolescents and adults who are physically active they can amount up to 5000 kcal.


Prosječna energetska vrijednost polutvrdih sireva iznosi oko 350 kcal na 100 g, a prosječne energetske potrebe odrasle zdrave osobe umjerene tjelesne aktivnosti iznose od 2100-2900 kcal, kod adolescenata i odraslih osoba, koje su tjelesno aktivne, mogu iznositi i do 5000 kcal.


Differences in cheese consumption between these groups can be in respect to the amount and type of cheese, while the daily cheese consumption is welcome in all age groups.


Razlike u konzumaciji sireva između navedenih skupina mogu se razlikovati s obzirom na količinu i vrstu sira, a konzumacija sireva na dnevnoj osnovi dobrodošla je za sve populacijske skupine.


However, beside its peculiar nutritional value and digestibility, cheese has a specific cultural significance.


Sir, međutim, osim svoje osebujne hranjive vrijednosti i izvrsne probavljivosti ima izražen kulturološki značaj.


Even in ancient Rome meals ended with cheese, a tradition that has been kept in some Mediterranean countries up to date.


Još su se u starom Rimu obroci završavali sirom, što se u nekim mediteranskim zemljama zadržalo do danas.


Thus, for example, it is typical of French to indulge in consumption of cheeses which have become an inseparable dessert of traditional French cuisine.


Tako je, na primjer, za Francuze specifično da uživaju u konzumaciji sireva, koji su postali nezaobilazni desert tradicionalne francuske kuhinje.


Daily consumption of cheese is welcome, not only because of pleasure it provides, but also because the cheese has a positive effect on preservation of tooth enamel and protects teeth from caries.


Svakodnevna konzumacija sireva je dobrodošla, ne samo zbog užitka koji pruža, već i zato što sir pozitivno djeluje na očuvanje zubne cakline te štiti zube od karijesa.


The above effect is attributed to the stimulating effect of cheese on increased production of saliva which raises pH in the mouth.


Navedeni učinak pripisuje se stimulativnom djelovanju sira na povećanu proizvodnju sline uslijed čega se povisuje pH vrijednost u ustima.


It is believed that some ingredients of cheese, such as fatty acids, may have antibacterial impact.


Smatra se da neki sastojci sireva, poput masnih kiselina, mogu imati antibakterijsko djelovanje.


Finally, in order to preserve all cheese features, from flavour and smell to the nutritional value, keep it in the refrigerator, protected so as not to lose moisture.


I na kraju, kako bi sačuvali sva svojstva sira, od okusa i mirisa do hranjive vrijednosti, čuvajte ga u hladnjaku, zaštićenog tako da ne izgubi vlagu.


To make your enjoyment complete, take cheese out of the refrigerator at least half an hour before consumption, to let its full aroma develop.


Prije konzumiranja, za potpuni užitak, sir izvadite iz hladnjaka najmanje pola sata ranije, kako bi se razvila njegova puna aroma.


It is a great honour for me to be with you today at the opening of this exhibition.


Velika mi je čast danas biti s vama na otvorenju ove izložbe.


May I take this opportunity to first of all thank its organisers – The American Jewish Committee, the Dortort Center for Creativity in the Arts at UCLA Hillel Center, the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies, as well as their Croatian partners, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration and the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb.


Dopustite mi da iskoristim ovu priliku i prije svega zahvalim organizatorima – Odboru američkih Židova, Centru za kreativnost u umjetnosti Dortort u centru Hillel pri Sveučilištu UCLA, Centru za židovske studije na Sveučilištu UCLA, kao i njihovim hrvatskim partnerima, posebice Ministarstvu vanjskih poslova i europskih integracija Republike Hrvatske i Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt u Zagrebu.


We are especially indebted to Ms Branka Sömen who coordinated all activities pertaining to this event with much enthusiasm and energy.


Posebnu zahvalnost dugujemo gospođi Branki Sömen koja je s puno entuzijazma i energije koordinirala svim aktivnostima vezanima uz ovo događanje.


Here, before us, are the stories of one hundred and four courageous individuals, Croatian citizens, who must never be forgotten.


Pred nama su priče o 104 hrabra pojedinca, hrvatska građana, koji nikada ne smiju biti zaboravljeni.


They should not fall into oblivion because they demonstrated in the most daring manner possible what it means to be a good human being, a good neighbour, a good citizen.


Ne smiju pasti u zaborav jer su na najsmjeliji mogući način pokazali što znači biti dobra osoba, dobar susjed, dobar građanin.


In the tragic days of the Second World War they boldly opposed evil.


U tragičnim vremenima Drugoga svjetskog rata oni su se odvažno suprotstavili zlu.


They risked their own lives, often also the lives and security of their own families in order to rescue their Jewish neighbours, friends and fellow countrymen.


Riskirali su vlastite živote , a često i živote i sigurnost vlastitih obitelji kako bi spasili svoje susjede Židove, svoje prijatelje i sunarodnjake.


They had the courage not only to discard the evil of anti-Semitism and Nazism, but also to actively fight it.


Imali su hrabrosti ne samo odbaciti zlo antisemitizma i nacizma, već se i aktivno boriti protiv njega.


They acted in harmony with their moral conscience, in harmony with their own sense of duty – as individuals committed to moral principles, not to the criminal nature of the regime they happened to live under.


Djelovali su u skladu s vlastitom moralnom savješću, u skladu s vlastitim osjećajem dužnosti – kao pojedinci privrženi moralnim načelima, a ne zločinačkoj naravi režima pod kojim su slučajno živjeli.


For this reason each and every one of these individuals deserves our special and profound gratitude.


Iz toga razloga svakome od ovih pojedinaca dugujemo posebnu i duboku zahvalnost.


For those of us who come from the newly established and democratic Republic of Croatia, the lessons drawn from their courageous acts should be remembered for certain specific reasons as well.


Za nas koji dolazimo iz novouspostavljene i demokratske Republike Hrvatske, pouke koje proizlaze iz njihovih hrabrih djela trebaju biti zapamćene i iz nekih specifičnih razloga.


Developments in the Second World War deeply divided Croats just as they did most of the other European nations.


Kao i većinu drugih europskih nacija, i Hrvate su duboko podijelili događaji u Drugome svjetskom ratu.


Croatia was, unfortunately, not spared of its own version of Nazism and extremism.


Hrvatska, nažalost, nije bila pošteđena vlastite verzije nacizma i ekstremizma.


Although never elected by the people and although never even close to representing the majority of the Croatian people, the Croatian fascists – Ustashas – committed a horrible crime of genocide and fratricidal massacre.


Iako nikada nisu bili izabrani voljom naroda te ni približno nisu predstavljali većinu hrvatskoga naroda, hrvatski fašisti – ustaše – počinili su užasan zločin – genocid te bratoubilački masovni pokolj.


The principal victims of their sadistic acts were Jews, 80 per cent of whom, some 30,000 of their pre-war number of 37,000, perished in the Holocaust.


Najveće žrtve njihovih sadističkih djela bili su Židovi, od kojih je gotovo 80 posto, odnosno 30 000 od 37 000 koliko ih je bilo prije rata, poginulo u Holokaustu.


The genocide perpetrated by the Ustashas against Jews, Serbs, Roma, Croats, especially against all anti-fascists represents the darkest chapter in Croatian political and social history.


Genocid koji su ustaše počinile protiv Židova, Srba, Roma, Hrvata, posebno svih antifašista predstavlja najmračniju epizodu hrvatske političke i društvene povijesti.


We shall never tolerate any attempts whatsoever at promoting the revisionist version of history aimed at denying the Holocaust.


Nikada se nećemo složiti ni sa kakvim pokušajima promicanja revizionističke verzije povijesti kojom se nastoji zanijekati Holokaust.


This would be an insult to these brave people whom we are commemorating today.


Tako nešto predstavljalo bi uvredu za hrabre ljude kojih se prisjećamo danas.


The present-day, democratic Croatian state feels deep compassion for the tribulations of Jews during the Second World War.


Moderna, demokratska hrvatska država duboko suosjeća zbog stradanja Židova tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata.


We sincerely and deeply bow our heads when recalling this tragedy.


Iskreno i duboko pognemo glave kad se prisjetimo ove tragedije.


The persons we are commemorating today – Croatian Righteous among the Nations – may have been the bravest among their contemporaries, but they were not alone in their resistance to the evil of Nazism in Croatia and Yugoslavia of the time.


Osobe kojih se prisjećamo danas – hrvatski Pravednici među narodima – možda su bili najhrabrije osobe među svojim suvremenicima, no nisu bile usamljene u otporu prema zlu nacizma u Hrvatskoj i tadašnjoj Jugoslaviji.


The partisan movement led by Marshal Tito, a Croat born in Croatia, was probably the largest resistance movement in occupied Europe.


Partizanski pokret, koji je vodio maršal Tito, Hrvat rođen u Hrvatskoj, bio je vjerojatno najjači pokret otpora u okupiranoj Europi.


Its emergence as a combat force as early as 1941 enabled some 4,500 Jews from all regions of Yugoslavia of the time to join the organised struggle against the Nazis. 1,318 of them gave up their lives for freedom while 3,254 of them survived to see the day of liberation as members of the victorious partisan forces. 1,737 Croatian Jews joined the partisan army and 325 of them lost their lives.


Njegova pojava kao borbene sile već 1941. godine omogućila je oko 4500 Židova iz svih krajeva tadašnje Jugoslavije da se pridruže organiziranoj borbi protiv nacista. Od te brojke njih 1318 dalo je svoje živote za slobodu, a njih 3254 doživjeli su dan oslobođenja kao pripadnici pobjedničkih partizanskih snaga. 1737 hrvatskih Židova pridružilo se partizanskoj vojsci, od kojih ih je 325 poginulo.


We remember them with deep gratitude.


Prisjećamo ih se s dubokim osjećajem zahvalnosti.


Many Croats and Serbs from Croatia as well as members of other nationalities then living on the territory of Croatia opposed the evil Ustasha regime and actively fought in the partisan resistance movement.


Mnogi Hrvati i Srbi iz Hrvatske, te pripadnici drugih naroda koji su tada živjeli na području Hrvatske, protivili su se zlom ustaškom režimu te su aktivno sudjelovali u partizanskom pokretu otpora.


As President of the Republic of Croatia I proudly emphasise that the share of Croats, Serbs and other nations living in Croatia in the units of the victorious partisan army in 1945 was substantially higher than the share of Croatia's population in the total population of Yugoslavia.


Kao Predsjednik Republike Hrvatske s ponosom ističem da je udio Hrvata, Srba i drugih naroda koji su živjeli u Hrvatskoj u postrojbama pobjedničke partizanske vojske 1945. godine bio osjetno veći od udjela broja stanovnika Hrvatske broju stanovnika u Jugoslaviji.


One third of all Yugoslav fighters against Nazism came from Croatia.


Trećina svih jugoslavenskih boraca protiv nacizma dolazila je iz Hrvatske.


It was thanks to them, their courageous resistance to Nazism, that the entire territory of Croatia was not liberated by some alien force, but by our own freedom fighters – who were also allies of Americans, British and Russians.


Zahvaljujući njima, njihovome hrabrom otporu nacizmu, cjelokupan teritorij Hrvatske nije oslobodila neka strana sila, već naši vlastiti borci za slobodu – koji su ujedno bili saveznici Amerikancima, Britancima i Rusima.


Our Constitution acknowledges their contribution by stating explicitly that present-day Croatia is founded on the values of anti-Fascism and derives its roots from resistance to Fascism during the Second World War.


Naš Ustav priznaje njihov doprinos izrijekom navodeći da je moderna Hrvatska uspostavljena na vrijednostima antifašizma te da korijene vuče iz otpora fašizmu tijekom Drugoga svjetskog rata.


One of these brave freedom fighters was also my father Ante, who joined the partisans in 1942 at the age of 17.


Jedan od tih hrabrih boraca za slobodu bio je i moj otac Ante, koji se pridružio partizanima kao 17-godišnjak 1942. godine.


He was a Croat too, and was appalled and shocked by the evil foreign occupation and crimes perpetrated by the Ustashas.


I on je bio Hrvat, ali je bio užasnut i zgranut zlom strane okupacije i zločinima koje su počinile ustaše.


For this reason, this exhibition has a special meaning to me.


Stoga ova izložba za mene ima i osobno značenje.


I am exceptionally proud of his participation in the anti-fascist struggle!


Na njegovo sudjeovanje u antifašističkoj borbi iznimno sam ponosan!


As President of the Republic of Croatia, a modern democracy that is soon to join the European Union of democratic nations, I wish to emphasise again our deep commitment to the achievements of the struggle against Nazism and Fascism.


Kao Predsjednik Republike Hrvatske, moderne demokracije koje će se uskoro pridružiti Europskoj uniji demokratskih država, želio bih ponovno istaknuti našu duboku privrženost tekovinama borbe protiv nacizma i fašizma.


These achievements have been the foundation of the post-war world order ever since 1945.


Te su tekovine temelj poslijeratnoga svjetskog poretka još od 1945. godine.


The exhibition that I have the honour to open today focuses primarily on the courageous people who confronted evil and oppression.


Izložba koju danas imam čast otvoriti tematizira prije svega te odvažne ljudi koji su se suprotstavili zlu i ugnjetavanju.


But let it also be a reminder that we need to cherish freedom and pluralism – many in our recent history have given up their lives for them.


No neka ona bude i podsjetnik da trebamo jako cijeniti slobodu i pluralizam - za njih su mnogi u našoj nedavnoj povijesti dali svoje živote.


We should never again allow those who suppress the freedom of individuals and collective identities to prevail and harm us.


Ne smijemo nikada više dopustiti onima koji guše slobodu pojedinaca i kolektivnih identiteta da prevladaju i naškode nam.


The Righteous that we are celebrating today are a powerful bond between two friendly peoples, Croatian and Jewish.


Pravednici koje danas slavimo, snažna su poveznica dva prijateljska naroda, hrvatskog i židovskog.


Recently, I have had the honour to discuss both the past and the future with Israeli President Peres.


Nedavno sam imao čast zajedno s izraelskim predsjednikom Peresom razgovarati i o prošlosti, i o budućnosti.


The tormented past that we saw together in Jasenovac, a death concentration camp, is behind us.


Teška prošlost koju smo zajedno vidjeli u Jasenovcu, koncentracijskom logoru smrti, iza nas je.


Its lessons clear our view into the future; a future in which Croatia and Israel, Croatian and Jewish peoples, will cooperate in culture, science, the economy and new technologies.


Njene pouke bistre naš pogled u budućnost. Budućnost u kojoj će Hrvatska i Izrael, hrvatski narod i židovski narod, surađivati u kulturi, znanosti, gospodarstvu, novim tehnologijama.


The United States of America, a major partner of Croatia, has become the home of many Jews, some of whom arrived from Croatia, as well as of many Croats.


Sjedinjene Američke Države, velik i važan partner Hrvatskoj, udomio je mnoge Židove, od kojih su neki došli i iz Hrvatske te brojne Hrvate.


I am proud of our Croatian people who here too, in the States, have proven their hard work, honesty, friendship and understanding for members of other ethnic groups.


Ponosan sam na naše ljude koji i ovdje, u SAD-u, pokazuju marljivost, poštenje, prijateljstvo i razumijevanje pripadnika drugih naroda.


Certainly, they are part of the heritage left to us by the Righteous.


Sigurno, oni su dio baštine koju su nam ostavili Pravednici.


Therefore, I am proud to declare this exhibition open!


Zato s ponosom proglašavam ovu izložbu otvorenom!

A visit to Pula and a tour of its cultural heritage is a real challenge, since Pula truly abounds in cultural monuments.


Posjet Puli i razgledavanje njegove kulturne baštine pravi je izazov budući da Pula zaista obiluje spomenicima kulture.


During your stay in Pula don't miss the Naval cemetery at Stoja, situated close to the lovely Valkane cove, a favorite promenade of the inhabitants of Pula.


Svratite li u Pulu svakako razgledajte i Mornaričko groblje, nalazi se na Stoji, a smješteno je nadomak predivne uvale Valkane, omiljenim šetalištem Puljana.


The former Austro-Hungarian cemetery (K.u.k Marinefriedhof) was opened in 1862, for which the Ministry of the Navy purchased four thousand square meters of land.


Bivše austrougarsko groblje (K.u.k Marinefriedhof) otvoreno je 1862.godine, a za njegovo je uređenje Ministarstvo mornarice kupilo četiri tisuće četvornih metara zemlje.


Today the cemetery spreads over an area of more than 22 thousand square meters, and according to available data, about 150 thousand people have been buried there.


Danas se groblje rasprostire na više od 22 tisuće četvornih metara, a na njemu je prema dostupnim podacima pokopano oko 150 tisuća ljudi.


Naval cemeteryA walk through the Naval cemetery is surely a walk through a magnificent park, because the cemetery was arranged and renovated in 1990 with the help of the Austrian Red Cross and German national association for the care of war graves.


Šetnja kroz Mornaričko groblje zasigurno je šetnja kroz predivan park, jer groblje je uređeno i obnovljeno 1990. godine uz pomoć austrijskog Crnog križa i Njemačkog narodnog saveza za brigu o ratnim grobovima.


But, a walk through the Naval cemetery is also a walk through the history of Pula.


No, šetnja Mornaričkim grobljem šetnja je i kroz pulsku povijest.


At this cemetery 12 Austro-Hungarian and one Turkish admiral were buried, some three hundred Italian and German soldiers, as well as victims of the Baron Gautsch disaster, and the crews from the battle ships Szent Istvan and Viribus Unitis.


Naime, na ovom je groblju pokopano i 12 austrougarskih i jedan turski admiral, pokopano je i tristotinjak talijanskih i njemačkih vojnika, pokopane su i žrtve brodske nesreće Baron Gautsch te posade bojnih brodova Szent Istvan i Viribus Unitis.


The cemetery is on the list of monuments under the protection of the Hague Convention.


Groblje je uvršteno u popis spomenika pod zaštitom Haaške konvencije.


A three-day workshop has been held in Zagreb's Westin Hotel and it involved representatives of other governmental and nongovernmental organizations from Croatia and the countries from the region, whose work is related to crisis management.


Trodnevna radionica održava se u zagrebačkom hotelu Westin i na njoj sudjeluju i predstavnici drugih vladinih i nevladinih organizacija iz Hrvatske i zemalja regije, čije je djelovanje vezano uz krizni menadžment.


The aim of the workshop is the understanding of the complexity of crisis management, the importance of inter-agency approach to crisis management, as well as items related to the interdependent-and-effect management.


Cilj Radionice je razumijevanje kompleksnosti kriznog menadžmenta, značaja međuresornog pristupa kriznom menadžmentu, kao i predmeta vezanih uz međuovisno-posljedični menadžment.


Lecturers are experts from the U.S., associates of Marshall Centre, and the workshop consists of lectures and work in working groups, as well as of joint exercises.


Predavači su američki stručnjaci, suradnici Marshall Centra, a radionica se sastoji od predavanja i rada u radnim grupama, kao i zajedničke vježbe.


State Secretary Simunovic, in a statement after opening the workshop, emphasized that "for the Government and the Croatian society as a whole is very important to have effective mechanisms in response to crises caused by natural disasters or human activity.


Državni tajnik Šimunović, u izjavi nakon otvaranja Radionice, naglasio je da je „za Vladu RH i hrvatsko društvo u cjelini vrlo bitno imati učinkovite mehanizme odgovora na krize, izazvane prirodnim katastrofama ili ljudskim djelovanjem.


These are floods, forest fires, industrial accidents, earthquakes, climate change, epidemics, weapons of mass destruction, etc. The role of the MOD and the Croatian Armed Forces, which have the appropriate means, is of great importance.


To su primjerice poplave, šumski požari, industrijske nesreće, potresi, klimatske promjene, epidemije, oružja za masovno uništenje itd. „Uloga MORH-a i OSRH, koji raspolažu odgovarajućim sredstvima, ovdje je od velike važnosti.


These meetings help us to get acquainted with the latest global practices of crises management, particularly in matters of interdepartmental coordination, which is crucial given the complexity of possible threats.


Ovakvi skupovi pomažu nam da se upoznamo sa najnovijom svjetskom praksom odgovora na krize, ponajviše u pitanjima međuresorne koordinacije, koja je ključna s obzirom na kompleksnost mogućih prijetnji.


It is very good that here are representatives of countries from the region, since threats by definition are transborder", Simunovic concluded.


Vrlo je dobro što su ovdje i predstavnici zemalja iz regije, jer te su prijetnje po svojoj definiciji transgranične“, zaključio je Šimunović.

Vladimir Putin made a point of not showing up in Sofia at the Natural Gas For Europe energy summit that was to have traced the route of partnership and security in the supply of natural gas.


Vladimir Putin demonstrativno se nije pojavio u Sofiji na energetskom summitu "Prirodni plin za Europu", koji je trebao ukazati na putove partnerstva i sigurnosti u dobavi plina.


Putin thereby sent a message to the representatives of 28 European countries and the EU that the European energy future will have to hew to Russian plans.


Putin je tako predstavnicima 28 europskih država i EU dao do znanja da će se europska energetska budućnost morati ravnati prema ruskim planovima.


And in Zagreb the Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al-Thani made it abundantly clear to Croatian Government that Qatar had no more interest in investing even a penny, far less 2 billion euro, into the construction of a Croatian LNG terminal, either in Ploce or in Omisalj.


A u Zagrebu je katarski emir šeik Hamada bin Kalifa al Thani hrvatskoj vladi jasno dao do znanja da Katar više nema nikakvog interesa ulagati ni novčića, a kamoli 2 milijarde eura, u izgradnju hrvatskog LNG terminala, bilo u Pločama, bilo u Omišlju.


Croatia missed the boat, President Mesic's lobbying efforts have not been taken advantage of, and at the Zagreb meeting Croatia did not offer Sheikh Al-Thani a single concrete and thought-out economic project, least of all the construction of an LNG terminal, the most important natural gas supply project since Croatia gained independence.


Hrvatska je zakasnila, lobiranje predsjednika Mesića nije iskorišteno, a na susretu u Zagrebu šeiku al Thaniju Hrvatska nije ponudila nijedan konkretan i smisleni gospodarski projekt, ponajmanje izgradnju LNG terminala, najvažniji projekt od hrvatske energetske samostalnosti u opskrbi plinom.


Unlike in 2002, when Emir Al-Thani told President Mesic that Qatar was willing to construct an LNG terminal in Croatia, Qatar will not now take even the smallest stake in the ownership structure of the Adria LNG consortium on the island of Krk, which Croatian Government still does not know how to and is unable to organise.


Za razliku od 2002., kad je emir al Thani predsjedniku Mesiću izrazio spremnost Katara za gradnju LNG terminala u Hrvatskoj, Katar danas neće ni minimalnim ulozima ući u vlasničku strukturu konzorcija Adria LNG na Krku koji hrvatska Vlada još uvijek ne zna i ne može ustrojiti.


Qatar is willing to sell small quantities of natural gas to Croatia post-2012 – and that is it.


Katar je Hrvatskoj nakon 2012. spreman prodavati male količine plina - i to je sve.


But there is a big chance that Croatia's situation will become even more difficult at the Sofia summit.


Ali zato postoji velika mogućnost da se na summitu u Sofiji hrvatska situacija još više oteža.


In spite of the undeniable need to supply new quantities of natural gas from Russia and Croatia's need to participate in the Southern Stream project, Russian blackmail and the unconditional acceptance of Russian conditions for the construction of the Southern Stream through Croatia – which favours Russia's Gazprom to the detriment of Croatia's domestic natural gas operator Plinacro – will lead to there being absolutely no financial effect from the collection of transit tariffs for the transmission of Russian natural gas to the West.


Unatoč neospornoj potrebi dobave novih količina plina iz Rusije i hrvatskih potreba za sudjelovanjem u Južnom toku, ruska ucjena i bezuvjetno prihvaćenje ruskih uvjeta gradnje Južnog toka kroz Hrvatsku - koji favoriziraju ruski Gazprom, na štetu Hrvatske i domaćeg plinskog operatera Plinacroa - dovest će do toga da će izostati bilo kakav financijski učinak naplate tranzitnih tarifa za prijevoz ruskog plina na Zapad.


It will also strengthen Croatian dependency on the supply of Russian natural gas, and with the entry of Russian companies into the Croatian oil and natural gas business the Omisalj LNG terminal project – as a pledge in earnest of Croatian energy independence – could very easily be brought into question.


Ujedno će se pojačati hrvatska ovisnost o dobavi ruskog plina, a ulaskom ruskih tvrtki u hrvatski naftni i plinski biznis projekt izgradnje LNG terminala u Omišlju - kao zalog hrvatske energetske samostalnosti - može vrlo izvjesno biti doveden u pitanje.


An LNG terminal on the island of Krk does not suit Russia's interests.


LNG terminal na Krku ne odgovara ruskim interesima.


Croatia could pay dearly for its dearth of a national energy strategy.


Odsutnost vlastite nacionalne energetske strategije Hrvatska bi mogla skupo platiti.


By not coming to Sofia and by protesting the European favouring of the Nabucco natural gas pipeline project – that would supply non-Russian natural gas from Azerbaijan and the Middle East – and by increasing pressure on almost all European countries in favour of the new Russian natural gas pipeline, the Southern Stream, Putin has scored with maximum effect.


Nedolaskom u Sofiju i protestom protiv europskog favoriziranja projekta plinovoda Nabucco - dobave neruskog plina iz Azerbejdžana i s Bliskog istoka - i pojačavanjem pritiska na gotovo sve europske države, u korist projekta novog ruskog plinovoda Južni tok, Putin je postigao maksimalan učinak.


Croatia is aware of its requirements for additional quantities of Russian natural gas, in a situation in which the contract with Gazprom on the supply of the current 1.1 billion cubic metres of natural gas expires in 2010, but is not aware of the cunning Russian plan to bring Europe under its sway through energy – a plan in which Croatia is a very important link.


Hrvatska je svjesna svojih potreba za dodatnim količinima ruskog plina, u okolnostima kad ugovor s Gazpromom" o dobavi sadašnjih 1,1 milijarde prostornih metara plina istječe 2010., ali nije svjesna mudro promišljenog ruskog plana novog energetskog pokoravanja Europe, u kojem je Hrvatska vrlo važna karika.


Lacking an integral national energy strategy, Croatian representatives in Sofia agreed to all of Russia's conditions, both in the implementation of the DruzbAdria oil pipeline, and in the Southern Stream natural gas pipeline project, in line with the conclusions of a session of the intergovernmental Croato-Russian commission for economic cooperation held this February in Moscow.


U nedostatku cjelovite nacionalne energetske strategije, u Sofiji su hrvatski predstavnici dali suglasnost na sve ruske uvjete, kako u projektu realizacije naftovoda DružbAdria, tako i u projektu plinovoda Južni tok, sukladno zaključcima zasjedanja Međuvladine hrvatsko-ruske komisije za gospodarsku suradnju iz veljače u Moskvi.


That is why it is more than a pity that Croatia missed the opportunity to join Qatar in investing into the entire LNG chain and production, transport and sales business.


Zato je i više nego žalosno što je Hrvatska propustila priliku da s Katarom uđe u investiciju cijelog LNG lanca i biznis proizvodnje, prijevoza i prodaje plina.


And since Croatia still does not know what it wants, Government did not prepare any proposal to invest into the construction of production capacities (up stream) and natural gas liquefaction facilities in Omisalj for Sheikh Al-Thani, for which Qatar had previously shown an interest.


Kako Hrvatska još ne zna što hoće, Vlada za šeika Al Thanija nije pripremila bilo kakav prijedlog ulaganja u investiranje izgradnje proizvodnih kapaciteta (up stream) i postrojenja za ukapljivanje plina u Omišlju, za što je Katar nekoć bio zainteresiran.


It has been known for months that the conditions are lacking for the construction of a terminal in Ploce, and even that Qatar is now only interested in selling natural gas to Croatia, but not before 2012, as Qatari capacity is fully booked.


Već mjesecima znalo se da ne postoje uvjeti da se terminal gradi u Pločama, čak i to da je Katar sada zainteresiran samo za prodaju plina Hrvatskoj, ali ne prije 2012., jer su svi katarski kapaciteti popunjeni.


Croatia has to date not submitted a request to Qatar for the supply of natural gas.


Hrvatska dosad nije podnijela Kataru zahtjev za preuzimanje plina.


It is not known why, when Gazprom is behaving as rigidly and arrogantly as it is, giving Croatia very little prospects of getting even a single cubic metre more natural gas in 2012 than it does now, much less the 1.6 billion metres it is seeking.


Ne zna se zašto, kad se Gazprom ponaša kruto i bahato, dajući Hrvatskoj vrlo male izglede da bi do 2012. uopće mogla dobiti i četvorni metar plina nego dosad, a kamoli 1,6 milijardi metara plina koliko traži.


But by the good will of Sheikh Al-Thani and the Qatari government Croatia could, after his visit to Zagreb, if it submits its request as soon as possible, get the needed additional quantities of Qatari natural gas, which is one reason more for Croatian Government not to rush into the arms of Gazprom with its unconditional acceptance of all Russian conditions in the construction of the Southern Stream natural gas pipeline through Croatia, but rather to wisely take advantage of the benefits of agreeing to be a part of the Southern Stream project.


Ali dobrom voljom šeika Al Thanija i katarske vlade Hrvatska bi, nakon njegova posjeta Zagrebu, ako što prije dostavi svoj zahtjev, mogla dobiti potrebne dodatne količine katarskog plina, a to je razlog više da hrvatska vlada ne žuri u zagrljaj Gazpromu bezuvjetnim prihvaćanjem svih ruskih uvjeta u izgradnji plinovoda Južni tok preko Hrvatske, nego da pametno iskoristi priliku te prihvati koristi od uključenja u Južni tok.


Croatia is in a much better position than the other countries in the region, because it covers 60 percent of its needs via domestic production and has reserves of natural gas in the northern Adriatic, the option of building an LNG terminal and linking to sources in the Near and Middle East.


Hrvatska je u puno boljem položaju od ostalih država u regiji, jer domaćom proizvodnjom pokriva 60 posto potreba i ima rezerve plina u sjevernom Jadranu, mogućnost izgradnje LNG terminala i povezivanja na izvore Bliskog i Srednjeg istoka.


Since the Russians are aware that Croatia is in a significantly better position than the rest of the region, the Russians, who have already entered Bulgaria, Serbia and Hungary and have stepped into Croatia, should be given our conditions for the Southern Stream investment into Croatia.


Kako je Rusija svjesna da je Hrvatska u bitnoj boljem položaju od ostatka regije, Rusima koji su već ušli u Bugarsku, Srbiju, Mađarsku i zakoračili u Hrvatsku treba postaviti svoje uvjete za investiciju Južni tok u Hrvatskoj.


The same way the Slovenes, admittedly at the persuasion and under pressure from the EU, answered the Russians when they offered them conditions very much like those they are offering to Croatia.


Onako kako su Rusima, doduše na nagovor i pritisak EU, znali reći Slovenci, kad su im Rusi ponudili vrlo slične uvjete koje nude Hrvatskoj.


And this for an investment into a natural gas pipeline that still does not have a single element of basic design, or a route, or an approximate capacity, but which the Russians feel would cost 9 billion euro.


I to za investiciju u plinovod za koju se još uvijek ne zna ni jedan element basic designa, ni ruta, ni približni kapaciteti, ali za koju ruska strana smatra da bi trebala koštati 9 milijardi eura.


Well aware of the different position Croatia has, the Russians surrounded Croatia and left it for the end of the negotiations on participation in the Southern Stream project.


Svjesni drukčije pozicije i Hrvatske, Rusi su okružili Hrvatsku i ostavili je za kraj pregovora o sudjelovanju u Južnom toku.


Qatar now produces 65 billion cubic metres of natural gas, and will produce in excess of 75 billion in four years time, while Croatia by 2012 needs only 500 thousand to 1 billion cubic metres of natural gas, which is in Qatari frames of reference a trifle.


Katar sada proizvodi 65 milijardi četvornih metara plina, za četiri godine proizvodit će više od 75 milijardi, a Hrvatska do 2012. treba tek 500 tisuća do 1 milijarde četvornih metara plina, što je za katarske prilike sitnica.


There is, then, the possibility of securing the needed additional and emergency reserve quantities of natural gas through imports, because Qatar is open and willing, and solutions can be provided by the Croatian side to receive Qatari natural gas, even without building an LNG terminal on the island of Krk.


Dakle, postoji mogućnost da se uvozom osiguraju potrebne dodatne i interventne količine plina, jer je Katar otvoren i spreman, a s hrvatske strane mogu se osigurati rješenja kako bi se katarski plin prihvatio, čak i bez izgradnje LNG terminala na Krku.


So what did the Russians offer Croatia and why are their conditions unacceptable for Croatia?


Što su Rusi ponudili Hrvatskoj i zašto su njihovi zahtjevi za Hrvatsku neprihvatljivi?


If we want additional quantities of natural gas, the Russian side said in Moscow in February, we have to allow the Southern Stream to run through Croatia.


Hoćemo li dodatne količine plina, rekla je u Moskvi u veljači ruska strana, moramo dopustiti da preko Hrvatske prolazi Južni tok.


Croatia would thereby have to accept that Gazprom builds the natural gas pipeline through Croatia and that it would be its majority owner.


Hrvatska strana bi tako morala prihvatiti uvjet da Gazprom gradi plinovod kroz Hrvatsku i u njemu bude većinski vlasnik.


In that case quite a bit of money collected as transit tariffs for the passage of natural gas through Croatian territory would be collected by Gazprom rather than going to the Croatian national budget.


U tom slučaju, prilično velik novac od tranzitnih tarifa za prolaz plina preko hrvatskog teritorija pokupio bi Gazprom umjesto hrvatskog državnog proračuna.


When the Slovenes grasped this fact, they politely put the Russian proposal on hold.


Kad su to shvatili Slovenci, uljudno su stavili ruski prijedlog na čekanje.


But Boris Medvjedev, the minister-counsellor for economic affairs at the Russian embassy in Zagreb, has succeeded in convincing Croatian Government and President Mesic that 23 million dollars would pour into the Croatian budget every year for every 100 kilometres of the route from the border with Serbia to the border with Slovenia if the Southern Stream were to pass through Croatia.


No Boris Medvjedev, ministar-savjetnik za gospodarska pitanja u veleposlanstvu Ruske Federacije u Zagrebu, uspio je uvjeriti hrvatsku vladu i predsjednika Mesića da bi se u hrvatski državni proračun, ako bi Južni tok prolazio kroz Hrvatsku, slijevala 23 milijuna dolara godišnje na svakih 100 kilometara trase od granice sa Srbijom do granice sa Slovenijom.


That would be about 350 kilometres.


Bilo bi to oko 350 kilometara.


Medvjedev presented the Croatian leadership with a calculation of enormous earnings from transit tariffs, just like those earned by Ukraine, which gets 2.3 dollars for every 100 kilometres a thousand cubic metres of natural gas are transmitted.


Medvjedev je hrvatskom državnom vrhu iznio računicu o ogromnoj zaradi od tranzitnih tarifa, upravo onako kako to ostvaruje Ukrajina, koja za transport tisuću prostornih metara plina za svakih 100 kilometara zarađuje 2,3 dolara.


Which is true, but on the basis of the ownership of their natural gas pipeline.


Točno, ali na temelju vlasništva nad svojim plinovodima.


It is precisely against this Ukrainian model that the Russians are ardently fighting and wish to do away with, and on the other hand, they want to "sell" it to Croatia.


Upravo, protiv toga ukrajinskog modela zarade Rusi se zdušno bore i žele ga dokinuti, a, s druge strane, žele ga "prodati" Hrvatskoj.


In this model the crumbs go to Croatia and the lion's share to Gazprom.


U takvom modelu mrvice idu Hrvatskoj, a lavovski dio Gazpromu.


As they have already secured their interests in Bulgaria, and have given our northern neighbours a serious headache with their entry into the Hungarian oil company MOL, the Russians have purchased the Serbian oil company Naftna industrija Srbije (NIS) and promised the Serbians that the Southern Stream route would run through Serbia.


Kako su već ostvarili svoje interese u Bugarskoj, ulaskom u mađarski MOL zadali velike glavobolje našim sjevernim susjedima, Rusi su kupili Naftnu industriju Srbije i obećali Srbima prolazak trase Južnog toka kroz Srbiju.


Gazprom has joined forces with natural gas supplier and distributor Srbijagas, wholly owned by the Serbian government, to create a company that will build the Southern Stream natural gas pipeline through Serbia.


Gazprom je s opskbljivačem i trgovcem plinom Srbijagasom, koji je u 100-postotnom vlasništvu srpske države, stvorio kompaniju za gradnju plinovoda Južni tok kroz Srbiju.


Serbia is paying for its part of the construction of the natural gas pipeline through the value of Srbijagas, while the Russians are financing 51 percent of the construction with their money.


Srbija svoj dio gradnje plinovoda plaća unošenjem vrijednosti Srbijagasa, a Rusi 51 posto gradnju financiraju svojim novcem.


And so, by way of the Southern Stream project the Russians have purchased Srbijagas and will get the natural gas pipeline built.


Tako su kroz projekt Južni tok Rusi kupili i Srbijagas i izgradit će trasu plinovoda.


But both the Russians and the Serbians want Srbijagas to, by way of Gazprom, become the regional leader in the natural gas business and the chief operator for all of South Eastern Europe.


Ali i Rusi i Srbi žele da Srbijagas preko Gazproma postane lider plinskom biznisa u regiji i glavni operater za cijelu jugoistočnu Europu.


And that is the second great danger for Croatia and its transmission system operator, Plinacro, which has done much to develop its operations, with significant investments into the Croatian natural gas distribution network.


I to je druga velika opasnost za Hrvatsku i njenog operatera transportnog sustava Plinacro, koji je uvelike unaprijedio poslovanje uz značajne investicije u hrvatsku plinsku mrežu.


Gazprom wants to gain ownership over Srbijagas, invest into the construction of new Srbijagas storage facilities at Banatski Dvori near Novi Sad, with a capacity of 2.5 billion cubic metres of natural gas, which they will fill, of course, with Russian natural gas, and by doing so, through the construction of the Southern Stream natural gas pipeline, expand their commercial influence in the natural gas business from Serbia to Croatia and to all of South Eastern Europe, including Slovenia.


Gazprom želi steći vlasništvo nad Srbijagasom, uložiti u izgradnju novih skladišta Srbijagasa u Banatskim Dvorima kod Novog Sada, kapaciteta 2,5 milijarde prostornih metara plina, koja će puniti, naravno, ruskim plinom, te na taj način, izgradnjom plinovoda Južni tok, širiti svoj poslovni utjecaj u plinskom biznisu iz Srbije na Hrvatsku i cijelu jugoistočnu Europu sa Slovenijom.


And while with the purchase of NIS for a pittance the Russians have already despoiled Serbia, the Serbian government and Srbijagas are not annoyed.


Iako su kupnjom NIS-a u bescjenje Rusi Srbiju već porobili, srpska vlada i Srbijagas se zbog toga ne ljute.


The Serbians see themselves as Russia's cronies in the entire region, as the leader of the natural gas business, and are even preparing to offer Croatia a part of the action in the division of the natural gas market of Bosnia & Herzegovina.


Srbi sebe vide kao ruske jatake na teritoriju cijele regije, kao lidere naftnog i plinskog biznisa, čak se spremaju hrvatskoj strani ponuditi sudjelovanje u podjeli plinskog tržišta BiH.


And while nobody knows what the capacity of the Southern Stream will be, as the Russians alternately cite figures of 30 and 47 billion cubic metres of natural gas a year, and even though many think that the Russians will not in fact build a new pipeline at all, but just link up existing ones, the Southern Stream can pass through Croatia from Serbia if 80 km of new pipeline is built and if Croatia makes available its own transmission system, through which it can move 5-8 billion cubic metres a year, which would cover Croatia's needs for the coming 10 to 15 years. There is a false dilemma concerning who would invest into the Southern Stream.


Iako još nitko ne zna kapacitet Južnog toka, jer Rusi govore i o 30 milijardi i o 47 milijardi prostornih metara plina godišnje, iako mnogi misle da Rusi uopće neće graditi nove plinovode, nego će samo povezivati stare, Južni tok iz Srbije može kroz Hrvatsku ako se izgradi 80 km nove trase plinovoda i ako Hrvatska stavi na raspolaganje svoj transportni sustav kojim može preuzeti 5-8 milijardi prostornih metara plina godišnje, što bi bilo dosta za hrvatske potrebe sljedećih 10-15 godina.


Even though they are aware that, unlike Serbia or Bulgaria, Croatia is in a significantly different position, because it has several alternatives and does not have to be dependent on Russian natural gas, the Russians are making the delivery of additional quantities of natural gas to Croatia conditional on a decision that the investor has to be Gazprom.


Postavlja se umjetna dvojba tko će investirati u Južni tok - iako su svjesni da je, za razliku od Srbije ili Bugarske, Hrvatska u bitno drukčijem položaju, jer ima nekoliko alternativa i ne mora biti ovisna o ruskom plinu, Rusi Hrvatskoj isporuke dodatnih količina plina uvjetuju odlukom da investitor mora biti Gazprom.


Croatia has yet to learn what the characteristics of the Southern Stream are.


Hrvatska strana još uopće ne zna obilježja Južnog toka.


But the Croatian leadership is not sufficiently aware of the different position Croatia has and the alternatives being offered to Croatia, and there is a possibility that someone might jump the gun and blindly agree to the Russian terms after the Sofia summit.


Ali hrvatski državni vrh nije u dovoljnoj mjeri svjestan drukčije hrvatske pozicije i alternative koja se Hrvatskoj nudi pa postoji mogućnost da se netko nakon summita u Sofiji zaleti i "naslijepo" suglasi s ruskim zahtjevima.


The Croatian leadership has to be aware that the construction of the LNG terminal on the island of Krk offers Croatia an alternative to Russian natural gas, that it is LNG that secures independence and that the option is a necessary one, regardless of whether Croatia will, on equal terms and as a partner, participate in the construction of the Southern Stream.


Hrvatski državni vrh mora biti svjestan da izgradnja LNG terminala na Krku pruža Hrvatskoj alternativu u odnosu na ruski plin, da upravo LNG osigurava samostalnost i da je ta opcija nužna, bez obzira hoće li Hrvatska, u ravnopravnim i partnerskim odnosima, sudjelovati u izgradnji Južnog toka.


The Croatian leadership does not understand that it has arguments to resist the Russian conditions and lacks the decisiveness to say: if the Southern Stream is to bypass us because we do not accept Gazprom as the owner of a natural gas pipeline through Croatia, bypass us and go via Hungary to Austria.


Hrvatski državni vrh ne shvaća da ima argumente za otpor ruskim uvjetovanjima i nema dovoljno odlučnosti da kaže: ako će nas Južni tok zaobići jer ne prihvaćamo da Gazprom bude vlasnik plinovoda preko Hrvatske, zaobiđite nas i trasu usmjerite preko Mađarske na Austriju.


The Slovenians had the courage to do so, and they are in a much worse position than Croatia is.


Takvu hrabrosti imali su Slovenci, koji su u puno gorem položaju od Hrvatske.


Croatia has to put it clearly to Russia that it wants the Southern Stream, but under significantly different conditions, in which the transmission tariff and a decent profit for the passage of natural gas stays in Croatia, rather than going to Gazprom.


Hrvatska strana jasno mora reći ruskoj da Hrvatska želi Južni tok, ali pod bitno drukčijim uvjetima, u kojima transportna tarifa i pristojna zarada za prolaz plina ostaje Hrvatskoj, a ne idu Gazpromu.


Croatia has its own operator, Plinacro, which builds and manages the transmission system, and which is capable of taking on this role, both in the construction and management of the Croatian part of the Southern Stream.


Hrvatska ima svoju operativnu kompaniju Plinacro, koja gradi i upravlja transportnim sustavom, i koja je sposobna preuzeti tu ulogu i u izgradnji i upravljanju hrvatskim dijelom Južnog toka.


Croatia must be open in pointing out that there are other modes of cooperation, in which Gazprom can lease natural gas pipeline capacities running through Croatia on the long term, for whatever period of time it wishes.


Hrvatska strana mora otvoreno ukazati da postoje i drugi modaliteti suradnje, u kojima Gazprom može dugoročno zakupiti kapacitete plinovoda koji prolaze kroz Hrvatsku na rok koji god želi.


The model by which Gazprom intends to build the pipeline and provide natural gas would be a model of the economic subjugation of Croatia.


Model po kojem će Gazprom izgraditi plinovod i dati plin bio bi model ekonomskog pokoravanja Hrvatske.


That is why it is key that Croatian Government finally resolves the doubts, blockades, and perhaps even obstructions that are delaying the establishment of the Adriatic LNG consortium. If Government does not quickly move to initiate the prompt resolution of these problems among the potential members of the consortium, any signature given in Sofia concerning our participation on the construction of the Southern Stream could prove calamitous.
