Did you know that a 17th century Croatian fashion accessory, the necktie, became a must-have at the court of King Louis XIV in Versailles before becoming popular worldwide?

Watch this short video and let inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla give you a brief tour of this country and its language, and introduce you to writers Ante Kovačić and Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić as well as to champion skier Janica Kostelic.
