Happy Birthday Croatia!!

By: Gina Fazio

Today marks Croatia's 18th birthday as an internationally recognized country!

This day holds a very important meaning in Croatia, along with January 13th which was the day the Vatican recognized Croatia as a country. Among the first countries to recognize Croatia in 1991 a year before it was officially recognized were Slovenia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Latvia and Estonia but at the time these countries were also not officially recognized.
