WASHINGTON, May 25 (Hina) - Kresimir Cosic, a ministerial adviser
at the Croatian embassy in Washington, died at 9.10 hours local
time (15.10 CET) after a long and serious illness. He was aged
47.
As one of the first Croatian diplomats in the United States,
with his optimism, self-denial and enormous energy Cosic made a
great contribution to the promotion of overall relations with the
US, the Croatian Embassy said in a statement.
Foreign Minister Mate Granic offered his condolences to
Cosic's wife.
Before he embarked on a diplomatic career, Cosic had been
one of the best and most famous Croatian basketball players.
Cosic was the first basketball player from outside the US to
win an all-American basketball award in 1972, paving the way to
Croatians Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc and Dino Radja, and other
European players.
