Next January, Croatia is to elect its future President of the Republic. Ava Karabatic is one of the candidates. If her name is unknown in politics, it is because she has no experience in this field.
A former model for Playboy magazine, she has just made her candidacy official on her Instagram and Facebook accounts. 'Politics is my second love. I am tired of seeing so many bad things happening in my country. Everyone is blind, our young people are emigrating and the birth rate is falling dramatically,' she wrote on Tuesday, October 8th.
