“Few people experience such beautiful years and that is why it was a special honour for me to talk to a woman who has gained life experience and wisdom for a century and told us only a small part of her memories with a smile today,” Penava said, emphasising that the City of Vukovar has been implementing concrete measures aimed at the elderly for years and in that sense will continue to be available to senior citizens and will strive to make their lives as high quality and beautiful as possible.
