ZAGREB, November 9, 2018 - Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović will join world leaders in France this weekend to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and attend the Paris Peace Forum, a new initiative modelled after the Paris climate-accord meetings of three years ago.
Grabar-Kitarović's office said in a press release on Thursday the president will attend Armistice Day ceremonies in Paris on Sunday to mark the end of the "war to end all wars."
More than 60 leaders are to take part in the commemoration, including French President Emmanuel Macron, U.S. President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. On Saturday, Grabar-Kitarović will attend a dinner reception given by French President Macron.
During her stay in Paris, Grabar-Kitarović will visit an exhibition called "Croatie. Pleine de couleurs (Croatia, Full of Colours)" which was opened at the Louvre in October.
On display are 26 large-format photographs by Croatian photographer, traveller and adventurist Davor Rostuhar showing all Croatian regions, their nature, traditions, customs and people, with all colours of the seasons. They are part of his large project "Croatia from Above" which was published by National Geographic as its first photo monograph from Croatia.
