– UGP has established itself as a clear voice for change and reform, and constant pressure on the authorities during these two difficult years for entrepreneurs and citizens, with nearly 19,000 voluntary members. This is precisely what independent and strong associations in the civil sector do or should do. UGP is both a partner and a critic and a proposer with arguments. We are not interested in promises; we seek implementation – stated Hrvoje Bujas, president of the Voice of Entrepreneurs association.
