The mayor of Pula, Boris Miletic, thanked everyone involved in the organization, from city institutions and the private sector to civil society organizations actively engaged in creating the program. He emphasized that the holiday season was a time for socializing and communion and that this program offers an alternative to the unfortunately ubiquitous social lifestyle of today, which is mostly carried out on smartphones.
