She said that she decided to spend the Christmas eve at the mass with Karlovac homeless people because she wanted to show that Christmas is being together foremost, that she shouldn't celebrate mass in the cathedral in Zagreb, but we should come among the people and share the help with the people who need it.

By answering the questions of the reporters, she said that her office is usually working with people who need help, that they are going to the field and that they work with associations which take care of the people with disabilities, but also the people who need social and other help, and she hopes to do even more the next year.
