Ambassador Dr. Gordan Grlić Radman was accredited as the ambassador of Croatia to Germany in 2017. Ever since he has been undertaking outstanding efforts in strengthening the German-Croatian relations. In his function as the ambassador he especially places emphasis on the role of Croatia within the European Union; Croatia became a member of the EU in July 2013. Croatia is a prime example and proves how a relatively new EU member state can contribute to a community in a very positive way by sharing and strongly promoting the fundamental values of the EU.

Social media rules the world
Social media rules the world - from democracy to economy, by Thomas Gronenthal.
Social media influences what people think, what they buy and what they do. This is not a statement, it is a fact.
4.4 billion users out of a world population of 7.7 billion are connected to the Internet. There are 3.5 billion active social media users around the globe. The everage time spend on social media is 142 minutes a day, so more than 2 hours. And it’s growing. Every 6.4 seconds a new social media user registers.
