“Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic will attend the final match of the FIFA World Cup, where Croatia will be playing against France. She will be watching the game from the VIP section. We do not yet know how and when president Grabar-Kitarovic will fly to Russia,” the administration said.

The Croatian cabinet of ministers, including Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic, wore the national football team shirts at their meeting earlier on Thursday. Plenkovic and the speaker of Croatia’s unicameral parliament, Gordan Jandrokovic, attended the match against England after traveling to Russia at their own expense.
