At 11.00 am., the march started in front of the school, continued along Volkmerjeva Street, Panonska Street, Slomškova street, Vinarski Square, Lackova ulica and finished on Mestni Square 1 - in front of the town house.

So. At the highest state level, we passes the red balloon to our neighbours - Croatians. There will be "a red ballon march" in Croatian's capital , Zagreb, for the first time. Love can be a red balloon! Thanks to the team: Petra Hranilović, Dalibor Talajić and Jasna Primorac. I am convinced that we can contribute to good relations with our neighbours. because our children do not care for nationality or who the sea belong to.
for 5th time, we managed to connect:
🎯 3 different countries
🎯 16 different places
🎯 more than 1500 people
and if there is only one person who will change his opinion and be able to see our children in a different light, our goal is achieved.
Today, I know that we are supported by many hearty individuals and large companies with visions. After all, we have support of the entire universe.
Thank you very much!
