    Dear Ina, how wonderful would it be for Croatia to win the world cup. Possibly the best good news story of the world this year. I will be watching, and barracking for Croatia. Win or lose, this is bigger than football, this brings the eyes of the world to Croatia.
    Peace and love to you and yours.

    France and Croatia!? I’ve been to both countries and love ’em!! 🙂
    I will say that France won the World Cup in ’98 so they’ve been there and have the shirts to prove it.
    Best wishes from the US all the same!

    After having enjoyed the World Cup, I am left with the thorn of not seeing Croatia defeat France. I think that all Latin Americans were going with them to win. For later it will be. Runners-up, it’s a great achievement.

I’m Ina

I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia.  I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
