The event was organised in the vineyard owned by the Kurtalj family for foreign diplomats and international organisations accredited in Croatia.
The purpose of the diplomatic grape harvest at Jastrebarsko is to enable foreign diplomats and politicians to get acquainted with the tradition and cuisine of this region and its successes in the agricultural sector.
During the tour of Jaska, Milanović recalled that in the last century two Croatian cardinals and archbishops of Zagreb -- Cardinal Alojzije Stepinac and Franjo Kuharić - hailed from this region.
"As you know, Croatia did not have a free and liberal democratic system for more than 50 years, and being a cardinal was not just a religious role, but also a political one," Milanović said.
