January 15, 1992 was a day that will forever be etched in my memory as the day that Croatia officially became an internationally recognized country. The streets were filled with joy and celebration, and President Franjo Tudjman joined in on the festivities. I was there, celebrating my birthday among the crowd, and it was an unforgettable experience to witness and be a part of history. If you watch the video carefully, you might spot a young version of myself, out with friends, enjoying this historic moment.
As I look back on that day, it fills me with a sense of nostalgia and pride. I am proud of my country for its determination and resilience, and for the progress it has made since gaining international recognition. From becoming a member of the United Nations, to joining the European Union, adopting the Euro currency and joining the Schengen Area, Croatia has achieved many milestones in 31 years.
That day, January 15, 1992, was a day that marked the beginning of a new chapter for Croatia. It was a day of celebration, hope, and new beginnings.
