Croatia has 12 centuries of uninterrupted international legitimicy, much longer than great majority of other members of the European Union (EU). As such, Croatia is much older than the EU itself. Among the most important moments of Croatia's recent past are June 25th 1991, when Croatian Deit (one of the oldest in Europe), as a result of 93,24% majority of votes of Croatian citizens, decided to become a sovereign state, as well as the decision of Badinter's Committee from September 7th 1991 about de facto recognition of Croatia.
On the photo above is an amusing pair of shoes, designed by Teo Bekavac, professional Croatian designer. The red one represents Croatia, and the blue one the EU.

Right to Rejoice, by Goran Martin Štimac from Zagreb. As everybody knows, the
cravat (tie) is a trademark of Croatia.
Even the name of cravat has been derived from the name of Croatia, which had many versions during its very long history:
Cravatia, Krawatia, Crovatia, Chorwatia, Croatia, etc.etc. The
Croatian name for Croatia is
Hrvatska (
HR).
