Zagreb, April 5, 2017
Premiere of animated film "Fire is no joke" and Round Table "Extreme weather conditions, agriculture and wildfires"

After the premiere of the animated film "Fire is no joke" on the Lokrum Island, on 29 September 29, 2016, the premiere of the animated film was held in Zagreb on April 5, 2017 in the Journalist's home in cooperation with the Ecology and Agro Journalists of the Croatian Journalists' Association. The Round Table "Extreme weather conditions, agriculture and wildfires" was held for around 50 guests and journalists.

The meeting was welcomed by Dr Višnjica Vučetić, president of HAgMd, journalist Silvija Celebrini, president of the Ecology Journalist, Ivica Grilec, mag. oec. director of the Public Institution for Managed Protected Areas of Nature of the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, MSc Stjepan Škrapec Deputy Head of the City Office for Agriculture and Forestry of the City of Zagreb, Dr Nataša Strelec Mahović, director of the Meteorological and Hydrological Service and MSc Željko Popović, head of Croatian firefighting association.

After the discussion it was concluded that:
- there is insufficient cooperation of institutions that implement preventive and curative measures of the protection of forests against fire with police and judicial bodies
- the implementation of repressive measures is not satisfactory under the Law on Fire Protection
- it is necessary to re-issue the warning on the danger of forest fires through the media during the fire season.

The premiere and Round Table were very well media covered by guest appearance of members of HAgMD on HRT "Good Morning, Croatia" and by major articles in Večernji list Magazine More and Hrvatska vodoprivreda.
