So when you put your tie before a business meeting or a theatre performance, or when you
write with your ball point pen, do you ever think of Croatia?
Probably not. Why should you? I will tell you why.

- Did you know that your tie is a direct descendant of the very same cravat that Croatian soldiers used to tie around their necks in the 17th century. This is what not only the French encyclopedia tells us.

- And the ball-pen you write with, was invented by the Croatian engineer Slavoljub Penkala. He developed the first ball point and the first fountain pen in 1906.

- Did you know that the smallest town in the world is Hum in Istria?
