The central ceremony will be held 29 May in the national parliament. Alongside top Croatian officials, the ceremony in parliament will also be attended by former Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, former Hungarian Foreign Minister Geza Jeszenski, former French Foreign Minister Roland Dumas, former Slovenian President Milan Kučan, former Vatican undersecretary for relations with states Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, and former UN administrator in eastern Slavonia Jacques Klein.
