Today is the 30th anniversary of the fall of Vukovar - the biggest tragedy in recent Croatian history. 🇭🇷

The Croatian defenders resisted the aggressor for three months despite being surrounded and outnumbered, but Vukovar was captured on the 18th of November, 1991.

"Communism was born of lies, lives by lies, and will die from lies."

On this day in 1960, Blessed Alojzije Stepinac, Croatian cardinal and Archbishop of Zagreb, died in house arrest after being wrongfully convicted of "treason" in a show trial by communists.

While other nations addressed political issues, @tpacak and Iva Olivari put the teams’ messaging around #family & faith.

You could see how well it resonated with the team.

In a world where we hear and see nonsense 24/7, it was something that made me even more proud to be 🇭🇷

One nation - Two countries

Due to historical reasons, Croatians as a nation today are constituent people of two countries, both of which are considered our ancestral homelands - Croatia & Bosnia and Herzegovina (Herzeg-Bosnia)

As the popular song says - two of us, but one soul

"As long as I am the coach, the Croatian national football team will remain a place of patriotism, unity, the Croatian people and the flag of Croatia".

CROATIA IN THE SEMI FINALS

[History of Croats @HCroats]

#OTD in 1991 Serbian forces launched their fiercest attack on Dubrovnik (South Croatia). 🇭🇷 soldiers in Fort Imperial stood their ground. The fort was built by 🇫🇷 after the 1806 Russian-Serbian-Montenegrin attack on the "crown of all Croatian cities" (16th c. Croat poet Vidali).
