No Christmas Time in Croatia
(All over the World)Winter is coming so many people have already started getting ready for Christmas and New Year’s celebrations. They buy different presents for their nearest and dearest, make plans for their Christmas vacations and think of what New Year’s resolutions they will make for the next year. However, this year Christmas is a happy time not for everyone.
It seems that this year Croatia will not celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Day. The government of Croatia cancelled Christmas and New Year’s celebrations because of the world economic crisis. The Croatian power-holding structures are forbidden to spend money on various festive arrangements. So this year there will not be bright lights and decorated fir-trees in the streets of the Croatian cities as well as there won’t be any public Christmas celebrations.
Croatia lives off tourism mainly and it is expected that the flow of tourists to this country will reduce in the nearest future. And this means the economy of the country is really in danger.
