As part of the European Water Polo Championship, the Mayor of Dubrovnik, Mato Franković, participated in the closing ceremony this Monday at the French Pavilion in Zagreb, organized by the Croatian Water Polo Federation and European Aquatics.

During this event, Mayor Franković received recognition for his contribution and excellent hospitality on behalf of the City of Dubrovnik, one of the hosts of the international competition.

"Dubrovnik is very proud to have been a co-host for the first time in such a recognizable and valuable sports event. We have sent a beautiful message to the world about Dubrovnik as a city of sports. I thank everyone, especially the Croatian Water Polo Federation and the European Water Polo Federation, who granted us the opportunity to host athletes, water polo players, and organize an event that will be remembered by our fellow citizens and visitors," emphasized the mayor in his address.

The European Men's Water Polo Championship took place in both Zagreb and Dubrovnik as a co-host city, where the competition was ceremoniously opened. This marked the largest sports event in the history of Dubrovnik, characterized by an excellent cheering atmosphere, high public interest, packed stands at the Gruž pool, and outstanding sports results.
