This is a copy of the advertisement that
(then) ICL Croatia published in major Croatian daily
newspapers on January 16th 1992. The printing technology at the time required
that all advertisements materials had to be submitted several days before
publishing, i.e several days BEFORE Croatia was
recognised, but it was decided that recognition of Croatia is inevitable, and
that we should prepare an advertisement to mark the event. It was decided that
Thursday January 16th is the best date for such advertisement. It turned out
that the timing was perfect, and the competitors managed to publish similar ads
few days later.
This is the scanned image of the
original advertisement published in Večernji list on
16.01.1992. The image was deliberately not edited and post-processed, for
authenticity.
