Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić Radman sparked controversy after widely circulated footage on the internet showed him attempting to kiss his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock during a group photo in Berlin. The clips show Radman (65) reaching out to shake Baerbock's hand and then attempting to kiss her on the cheek while taking a group photo at an EU conference, but the minister rejected his attempt. This behavior triggered a heated debate on social media and angered feminist groups, but Grlić Radman ignored the criticism.
