One of the traditions of the new year is to report the birth of the first baby. For Croatia, the first baby born in 2008 arrived at Peter’s Hospital in Zagreb at 12:01 a.m. His name is Ivan Tamarut. And he is from Novalja. “The wish to give birth in Peter’s Hospital came true” said his mother Patricija. Ivan is 50cm long and weighs 3.4kg. We wish all the best to little Ivan and his family.
