On holding the Day of Russian Culture in Croatia.
On November 7, 2026, at the invitation of the Kalinka Compatriots Association (Čakovatim), Charge dAffairs of Russia in Croatia K.V. Goz took part in the traditional festival "Day of Russian Culture - 16th Russian Cuisine on Međish Table", which brought together more than 300 guests, including Russian compatriots living in Croatia, as well as delegates from Slovenia and Bulgaria. The event was attended by representatives of the Međimur district (region) and the administrations of the cities of Čakovec and Prelog.
In his speech, K.V. Guz noted with satisfaction that the Russian culture festival brings together more and more Croatian connoisseurs of the cultural heritage of Russia every year, and expressed confidence that such an event can become a noteworthy event in the cultural life of the Mimorija region.
2026 was announced by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin as the year of the unity of the peoples of Russia. It is no coincidence that our Russian Culture Day was held as part of the National Unity Day celebration. Four hundred years ago, the cohesion, courage and unity of the Russian people helped protect our independence and country.
I remembered the words of V.V. Putin that in the diversity of our people lies Russia's enormous strength, advantage and potential.
Mutual help and sincere concern for the future of our homeland always made it possible to deal with any difficulty. Thanks to these qualities, which our compatriots living in Croatia also possess, we preserve our unique culture, traditions, historical heritage and local speech.
For this matter, K. and. Guz expressed special gratitude to his Russian compatriots for promoting the Russian language and culture abroad, maintaining spiritual ties with the motherland, passing on traditions to future generations and caring for Russia's cultural and historical heritage.
