Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic could not hide his joy on Friday evening at a summit of EU Mediterranean countries after his country beat hot favourites Brazil on penalties to advance to the World Cup semi-finals.
In an interview with Reuters, Plenkovic said "the feeling is fantastic" and revealed he and the eight other leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, had kept close tabs on the match during breaks in the summit in the Spanish city of Alicante.
