ZAGREB, Dec 23 (Hina) - The Croatian Cultural Foundation and the Hrvatsko Slovo culture weekly have proclaimed 2002 Franjo Tudjman jubilee year on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the birth of the first Croatian president. The
late Tudjman's most important creation was the "establishment of the Croatian state," said Nedjeljko Mihanovic, speaking about Tudjman's historic importance. "What hundreds of generations only aspired to, hoped for and held as an unattainable ideal, he turned into reality. And this basic national and historic value must never be brought into question," Mihanovic said on Saturday, adding 2002 should be an "expression of the most dignified recognition and gratitude of the entire Croatian people for Tudjman's great historic work."(hina) ha
