There is no rampart without stone, and our stone is the stone of the Cathedral of St. Tripun, our stone is the stone of Our Lady of Škrpjela, our stone is the stone of the walls of the old city, our stone has been here since the seventh century. And there is no rampart without people, and the Croatian citizens' initiative is an expression of the longing of countless generations who made sacrifices for the Croatian name. Even today we speak loudly what others had to keep silent and for which they suffered. But not every stone makes a wall, only a stable and solid stone can be a part rampart. We have shown that we have both strength and constancy."
