Croatia's PM extends best wishes to Jews for Hanukkah

"On behalf of the government and on my own behalf, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all Jewish believers on the occasion of Hanukkah, the feast of light and dedication. I wish you to spend the Festival of Lights with your families and friends. Happy Hanukkah, Chag Sameach," PM Plenković said in his message released by the government's press relations office.

Hanukkah, or the Festival of Lights, is one of the biggest Jewish festivals, observed on the 25th day of Kislev according to the Hebrew calendar. It commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire.
