SPEECH OF THE AMBASSADOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA SPEECH OF THE AMBASSADOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA DR. DRAGO STAMBUK AT THE CELEBRATION OF CROATIAN TOURISM DAY IN TOKYO, 2nd March 2010 Your Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear friends, Croats call their homeland “Our Beautiful One”. The same is the title and the first verse of our national anthem which counts only the blessings of beauty and nature: planes, rivers, forests, sea… If it's true, according to great Russian writer Dostoyevski – that the beauty will save the world – than Croatia has a lot to do with a saving of our only world today. Croatian anthem is the world's first green anthem and it has no mention of blood-letting, wars or revolutions, as some other national anthems do. Clean, pristine, ecologically healthy land, water and air – endow Croatia and make it very special place on Earth. The number of endemic plants in my country surpasses those in any other European country. Glorious ancient cities glisten along one of the most beautiful coasts, enhanced by the deep sapphire-blue Croatian Adriatic which Jacques Cousteau, the world reknown oceanographer, called the most beautiful sea inside-out. Another international figure, George Bernard Shaw, named Croatian city of Dubrovnik - Paradise on Earth.03.03.2010. | Press releases
