British Embassy Zagreb Launches Video Series: UK and Croatia - What Links Us Together. 1. Jelko Yuresha

By 19 February 2018

February 19, 2018 - The British Embassy in Zagreb contnues its proactive approach in strengthening ties with Croatia in the pre-Brexit era, with the launch of a new video series on characters who link Croatia and the UK together, starting with Zagreb-born Royal Ballet star Jelko Yuresha. 

"JELKO YURESHA: How a Croatian boy from Gornji Grad became a dancer for the Royal Ballet in London.

This video is the first in a series which goes beyond the traditional political work of the Embassy. We wondered about the strongest ties which exist between our countries.

The answer?

People and the human bonds linking Croatia and the UK. It is the stories of those from the UK and Croatia who have travelled between our two countries to work, to study and to enjoy what each has to offer."

Check out the video below. For more on Britain's relationship with Croatia, read Ambassador Andrew Dalgleish's extensive interview with TCN recently in Split.
