The Zoran Milanovic mandate is well and truly underway following his somewhat controversial inauguration with a performance of the Croatian national anthem by famous singer Josipa Lisac attracting not only attention but a lawsuit.
Not an idea way to begin a mandate as president, you might say, but in spite of the socky beginnings, the Milanovic mandate has already done something that hasn’t been done before. An energy and climate expert has been hired at Pantovcak.
As Darko Bicak/Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 21st of February, 2020, dr.sc. Julije Domac is an expert in his field and is also the longtime leader of the regional energy agency – REGEA.
The new President of the Republic, Zoran Milanovic, recently appointed his advisory team, and among other things, energy and the climate were recognised for the first time at Pantovcak as something strategic, and dr.sc. Julije Domac Ph.D., was appointed Special Advisor for Energy and Climate.
As stated, Domac is a longtime leader of the regional energy agency, REGEA, and one of the biggest proponents of energy transition and renewable energy in Croatia. On the occasion of his appointment within the Milanovic mandate, Domac told Poslovni Dnevnik that he is proud to advise the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanovic, on particularly important topics – energy and the climate.
”These are the topics that should definitely be the focus of every EU member state at the moment when the adoption of the EU Green Deal has made energy transition imperative. I believe that together, we in Croatia will be able to inspire good ideas and help make Croatia into what it can and should become – a European leader and an example of sustainable energy use and climate protection. A policy that recognises the profession, and a scientific community that works closely with the business community is the way to go,” Domac stated.
