There has been a lot of dust raised over the choice of Miss Croatia for Miss World, Lejla Sehovic. Today in Zagreb all rumours were laid to rest and the truth was revealed. In the luxurious Zagreb Sheraton Hotel, a press conference was called by the management of the Miss Croatia Pageant. The head of the management and owner to the rights of Miss Croatia, Milan Seckovic, stated that there were numerous irregularities in the voting committee for the Miss Croatia Pageant. Namely, Branka Bebic, Anica Martinovic and Vanja Rupena spent their whole time on the judging committee lobbying for Sehovic and each of them awarded Sehovic 30 points, while her runner-up received 0 points.
All competitors have the right to equal treatment.
All invalid ballots have to be eliminated and I deny any negative connotation caused by the irresponsible actions of some members of the judging committee. He added that any insinuations about political motivation for this decision are complete nonsense, as Sehovic would never have made the final competition if that was the case. Sehovic will be dethroned and the crown will be awarded to her first runner-up Ivana Petkovic, who received the most votes from viewers and won the most first places in the competition.
