Hollywood actor and A-lister, Goran Visnjic, arrived these days in his home country Croatia. During his visit, he stayed at his parent’s home, where he met with his friends, paid a visit to Zagreb, but also warn his fellow citizens about the problems that volunteers at Zarkovica animal shelter are faced with. At a time when everyone is talking about politics, economy and money, says Visnjic, it seems like nobody wants to discuss more humble stories, like animal rights.
But it is important to that the most beautiful city in the world hides an ugly secret. The story is long and difficult to summarize, but it is important to mention that the city where the shelter is located, last time tried to solve the issue in the most stupid and violent manner. Goran and his wife Eva are trying to help not only financially, but also to spread the message and inform as much people as possible about the horrendous things that are happening in their beautiful city, right under their noses. That is why he appeals to the city of Dubrovnik that instead of arguing with volunteers who have already done so much for the city, to finally try and make this shelter is it was supposed to be, a long time ago, but instead got dragged on for years.
Goran Visnjic worries for both the rights of the volunteers working at the organization, and for the right of the stray dogs. He arrived in Croatia after promoting his series” Crossing Borders” in Paris. Together with his wife and their children, but also with a lot of animals, Goran posted on Facebook how he and his family enjoyed this short but delightful stay in Croatia. It is things like this that make it difficult for the actor to come back to Croatia, where for some time now he wants make a play. He also commented on the beauty of Zagreb, and how much it has changed since he was studying there. ‘It has somehow enlivened, and I feel positive changes from year to year, says the actor.
