Croatia's President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic arrived on a chartered flight from Zagreb to Sochi, where she is to attend the FIFA World Cup quarter-final match between Russia and Croatia on Saturday.

The Croatian president came with a large delegation of Croatian fans. They flew on the Leoleta -- a Boeing 777-300 plane of the Rossiya airline, which carries the image of the Far Eastern leopard. Earlier several more charter flights from Zagreb arrived in Sochi, reports Tass news agency. A diplomatic source told Tass that before the match Mrs Grabar-Kitarovic may visit the Sochi Sports Glory Museum.
