The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Croatia, Tonino Picula, in his welcoming address at the opening of the Regional Summit of SEE First Ladies on Thursday, 8 April 2003, expressed his satisfaction with the fact that this event, as a confirmation of a positive, project-oriented way of thinking, reflected the feeling of responsibility toward both the community and the welfare of each individual person.

The goal of the summit was to promote the need for an early detection of breast cancer as one of the main causes of death in the female population in Croatia.

Speaking on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Croatia, and as a citizen aware of the common responsibility, Minister Picula expressed his belief that this initiative can bear fruits primarily owing to the interest and readiness of the first ladies to join the campaign and ensure public presence which will enable education and prevention of breast cancer.
