MOJ BLOG KAO KNJIGA – RADO BIH JE POKLONIO PAPI LAVU XIV PRILIKOM NJEGOVA DOLASKA U ZAGREB!

Moj blog kao knjiga-rado bih je poklonio papi Lavu XIV prilikom njegova dolaska u Zagreb!

Tekst:Josip Josef Mayer

Moj blog, koji sada broji preko 300 napisanih članaka, odavno je trebao postati knjiga. No, iz različitih razloga, to se nije dogodilo – pa je postao blog. Ako se u budućnosti pronađu sponzori i nakladnik, uz dobru volju stručnjaka, novinara, književnika, članova udruga i društava s kojima sam kroz godine surađivao – dugoročno ili kratkoročno – knjiga je i dalje moguća. 

Uz sve moje dodatne poticajne članke izvan bloga i bogate foto-albume, mogla bi se pretočiti čak u dvije ili tri knjige, možda i više.

Kako se kaže – ono što nije zapisano, kao da nije ni postojalo.

Knjiga je prvotno trebala biti objavljena još 1996. godine, kao dokument jednog vremena i poticaj za daljnju humanitarnu pomoć. Nažalost, to tada nije bilo ostvarivo.

 Ipak, kroz godine sam uspio sačuvati i zabilježiti mnogo toga, osobito zahvaljujući podršci umjetne inteligencije (AI) i udruzi Marshall plan za Hrvatsku, čiji je utemeljitelj gospodin Zdenko Štriga, stručni gospodarstvenik iz Frankfurta i savjetnik Vlade Republike Hrvatske u području demografije i useljeništva.

Danas je to već nova priča – knjiga koja, uz odgovarajućeg nakladnika i sponzore, može postati i humanitarno izdanje. Bila bi to vrijedna podrška radu udruge Marshall plan za Hrvatsku te udruge Povratak Hrvata u Hrvatsku, koju vodi gospodin Verko Kutleša.

Uz preostale udruge,društva i pojedince koje spominjem u mom blogu.Time bismo pomogli mnogim iseljenicima – našoj braći, rođacima i prijateljima iz dalekih krajeva – koji se žele vratiti u Hrvatsku, ali ih u tome sprječava nedostatak financijskih sredstava.

Moj blog, pretočen u knjigu, svjedoči i o prvoj, neuspjeloj strategiji povratka iseljenika iz 2000. godine – dokumentu na 50 stranica koji je uz podršku tadašnjih udruga promicala tadašnja ministrica obrane gospođa Zdenka Antunović.

Moram priznati – moj uporan radni poriv tijekom godina možda je i zamorio neke novinare, udruge i Facebook grupe.

Na samom Facebooku, gdje sam aktivan više od dva desetljeća (od oko 2003., a posebno od 2009. godine), moje objave i porivi ponekad su nailazili i na ograničenja. No to je neka druga priča. O tome će, možda, pisati netko drugi.

Samo neka sve bude zapisano – humano, s namjerom da i dalje služi za dobrobit ljudi i u humanitarne svrhe.

Englisch:I WOULD GLADLY PRESENT IT TO POPE LEO XIV UPON HIS VISIT TO ZAGREB

My blog, which now contains over 300 articles, was long overdue to become a book. For various reasons, that didn’t happen — so it remained a blog. However, if sponsors and a publisher are found in the future, along with the goodwill of professionals, journalists, writers, and members of associations and societies I’ve collaborated with over the years — whether long-term or short-term — a book is still very much possible.

 With the addition of my other motivational writings beyond the blog, and a rich collection of photo albums, the material could even be shaped into two or three books, maybe more.

As the saying goes — what is not written down might as well have never existed.

The book was originally supposed to be published back in 1996, as a document of its time and an encouragement for further humanitarian aid. 

Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible then. Still, over the years I’ve managed to preserve and document a great deal — especially thanks to the support of artificial intelligence (AI) and the association Marshall Plan for Croatia, founded by Mr. Zdenko Štriga, an experienced economist from Frankfurt and advisor to the Government of the Republic of Croatia in the fields of demography and immigration.

Today, this is already a new story — a book that, with the right publisher and sponsors, could also become a humanitarian edition. It would be a valuable contribution to the efforts of Marshall Plan for Croatia, as well as the Return of Croats to Croatia association led by Mr. Verko Kutleša, alongside other organizations, societies, and individuals mentioned throughout my blog.

In this way, we could help many emigrants — our brothers, relatives, and friends from distant parts of the world — who wish to return to Croatia but are held back by financial limitations.

The blog, when turned into a book, would also bear witness to the first, unsuccessful strategy for the return of emigrants from the year 2000 — a 50-page document promoted by then-Defense Minister Ms. Zdenka Antunović, with the support of several associations at the time.

I must admit — over the years, my persistent efforts may have worn out some journalists, associations, and Facebook groups. On Facebook itself, where I’ve been active for over two decades (since around 2003, and especially since 2009), my posts and initiatives have sometimes met with limitations. But that’s another story. Perhaps someone else will write about it one day.

Let everything be written down — humanely, with the intention of continuing to serve the good of people and humanitarian.

If you like our tireless effort and work, join the Marshall Plan for Croatia association, be a part of us - promote us now.
