    而头号球迷——克罗地亚女总统也在本届世界杯持续走红


    伴随着克罗地亚狂想曲,让我们一起来认识一下她。

    How old is Croatia president Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, who is her husband and when was she elected?

    THE World Cup final has arrived and one of Croatia's biggest fans will be there - President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.

    The Nato summit kept her away from the semi-final, where her country broke English hearts, but she has flown straight back to Moscow for the final against France.

    Grabar-Kitarovic was born on April 29, 1968 in Rijeka in the Croatian part of Yugoslavia.
