However, Vukovar should always remember and frequented there, and not just during the festive anniversary. Thanks to the County of Vukovar has an extremely nice house culture. We should not forget that today is a little big and points out the contribution of Podravka in the Homeland War. Anywhere and everywhere will be talking to this company in times of war feeds the Croatian army, and that after the occupation, and helped many of Vukovar.

Rarely responds to the kind of events. Vukovar is in my heart, so rarely go there. A water tower, and I wrote the book. Living modestly, umirevljeničkim life, with their memories. I'm glad it was not even six hundredths Serbian missiles failed to destroy the water tower that I built. I'm comeing in Koprivnica and reasons to pay tribute to the overall work of Mladen Pavkovic, and the Association headed. My wish is that in Vukovar build a new water tower, but elsewhere - said the 78-year BSc. buildings.

Naime, tijekom proteklih godina branitelji Podravke, putem Caritasa, u nekoliko su navrata slali veliku pomoć siromašnim građanima Knina, pretežno u odjeći, obući i hrani.

Za veliki doprinos i suradnju s Gradom Kninom Mladen Pavković svojedobno je primio i jedno od najvećih priznanja Grada Knina, za što su ga predložili tamošnje braniteljske udruge.
