British Ambassador Launches Tram In Zagreb

The British Ambassador to Croatia David Slinn has launched a special UK branded tram in the Croatian capital Zagreb on Thursday morning, as the UK welcome Croatia into the European Union.

Tram number 13 is traditional Zagreb blue with ‘Entrepreneurs are GREAT Britain’ advertising on the side and has the Union Jack at the nose of the tram. ‘Entrepreneurs are GREAT Britain’ is part of the UK’s marketing campaign as the British government look to brand the UK as a modern and successful society based on values such as knowledge, science, innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity, cultural heritage and business.

After a short ceremony, including a sparkling performance by the Wind Orchestra of the Zagreb Electric Tram (ZET), Ambassador Slinn and other invited guests boarded the ‘GREAT Britain‘ tram as it made its way on its first journey. (pics: Dario Susanj)
