Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic became one of the most talked about world leaders as Croatia lost to France in an attacking football display.

Her pictures, wearing a Croatian jersey, while cheering on her team were broadcast to the world.

After the match, she was her effusive self, giving hugs to players from both sides and sharing light moments with France president Macron, who was on the verge of exploding with joy.

Grabar- Kitarovic was born on April 29, 1968 in Rijeka in the Croatian part of Yugoslavia. She studied for a year at Los Alamos High School in New Mexico, and also studied in Zagreb, Vienna, Washington DC and Harvard, before completing her doctoral studies in her home country.

She is also a multi-linguist, fluent in Croatian, English, Spanish and Portuguese, and also understands German, French and Italian. The world sure needs more leaders like her.
