He added that Croatia, after exceptionally successful appearances in Lisbon, Hannover and Aichi, has once again recognised the importance Expo has in the world.

Expo presents a stage of sorts on which the world has the opportunity to get acquainted with various nations and cultures, but can also serve to present domestic companies, added State Secretary Kuprešak.

In that regard, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration included in Croatia’s appearance a number of Croatian companies as sponsors, amongst others the Potomac Ltd. company, which has for that proposes created a special series of ties and handkerchiefs with the “Croacia Expo 2008” logo.

Prof. Marijan Bušić expressed satisfaction over the continuation of the time-honoured co-operation between Potomac Ltd. and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration in organising Croatia’s appearance at the World Fairs.

It was also noted that the non-profit institution Academia Cravatica, as a part of the commemoration of Croatia’s National Day on 29 June 2008 at the Zaragoza Expo, will organise tie installations at three points in the city: two on the main square, Plaza del Pilar, and another in front of the new cultural centre, which is to be inaugurated precisely by Croatia’s exhibition “Maritime Affairs in the Croatian Adriatic”.
