Croatian singer Neda Ukraden and ex‑PM Jadranka Kosor share personal insights in interviews

Singer Neda Ukraden told a podcast that she prefers to invest earnings in home renovations—windows, doors and flooring—rather than spend money on luxury trips to places such as the Maldives, which she described as “boring”. She said authentic environments with character matter more to her than glamorous resorts.

Former prime minister Jadranka Kosor spoke on a radio show about her childhood without a father, the modest life she led, and how tabloids reporting a rumored relationship with two men, one a minister and the other a former aide, “truly hit” her, especially because it affected her son. Kosor also reflected on the challenges she faced in politics and the media.
