00:05stepped into history.

00:07The pain, tears and pride in the hearts of all of us who had the honor

00:12to be witnesses of the time of Dr. Franjo Tudjman,

00:15the first Croatian president.

00:17Before the last resting place of President Tudjman,

00:29at this late evening,

00:31the citizens come to pray and express their last respects.

00:34I was at the funeral today,

00:48and I had the desire, with my friends,

00:52to come now and pray for the former president,

00:59because he is a great man.

01:01I am a returnee after 24 years.

01:06I am very happy that I created this state,

01:10and I am deeply grateful to him for that.

01:13I feel an emptiness.

01:16This place has now become historical,

01:20and it will be sacred to us,

01:22because we will be happy to return here

01:24and pray for the soul of our president,

01:27Mrs. Franjo Tudjman.

01:42who say goodbye to the president.

01:44With thousands and thousands of people already lit up,

01:46every minute, new candles get their place here.

01:53I am not surprised, there are a lot of them.
