The renovation was financed by the Czech and Croatian governments.
The goal of education and wisdom is for man to see life's path clearly, walking on it carefully, thinking of the past, knowing the present and predicting the future, Petriček said, quoting to the children Komensky, a Czech pedagogue and one of the pioneers of education.
A good school protects from negative demographic trends and children there learn about diversity, about things they didn't know, thus preparing for life in today's globalised world, Petriček said
Plenković said language, culture and education were crucial for a people's identity. "That's why these projects, this school and kindergarten, enable the Czech national minority to be aware from the earliest age that they live in Croatia as equal citizens, while cultivating... their Czech identity."
Croatia's Czech population is about 12,500, with most living in Daruvar and Bjelovar-Bilogora County, while an estimated 2,000 Croats live in the Czech Republic.
The Czech government has given the Czech Alliance in Croatia 300,000 Czech koruna to help the victims of December's earthquake, Petriček said.
On Wednesday, he will hold meetings with Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman and Tourism Minister Nikolina Brnjac.
After Daruvar, he and Plenković went to Ivanovo Selo to lay a wreath at a monument to the Czech victims of the 1991-95 Homeland War.
Before meeting with Petriček, Plenković visited the war veterans centre in Daruvar, an investment of HRK 95 million. Such centres are also being built in Petrinja, Sinj and Šibenik.
"HRK 325 million in total and an excellent example of support to our veterans, utilising EU funds," he said.
