Just one more note from my close encounter with the Croatian President. We have spent a whole day with her. Morning church mass because she wanted to be blessed and reminded she is here to serve her nation before a rough UN week (her words), to the afternoon party where she was “feeding on love of her people” and this little insert of her speech says it all. Croatians have a lot to be proud of. Hardworking and smart people with big heart that know how to make difference no matter where the life takes them. Well said, Madame President.
And where did you see Croatians without good food, drinks and singing!!! The Madame President singing with our local singers and everybody present
