The central European country of Croatia is bringing out the best of its culture and arts to celebrate its pavilion day at the Shanghai World Expo.

Taking a cue from the Expo theme of "Better City, Better Life", the Croatian pavilion seeks to recreate the experience of a town square... the traditional place for urban gatherings and exchanges.

Visiting Croatian President Ivo Josipovic attended the flag raising ceremony for his country's pavilion day on Saturday morning.

The Croatian pavilion is located in the C zone of the Expo Park. Dubbed "Life is Between", the red structure has a steel framework, dotted with 300 white flags. 10 slide projectors on the interior side walls display city life in Croatia, urban development, the country's diverse landscapes, and its ancient and new cities.

Croatia's acclaimed folk dance ensemble "Lado" is performing at the Expo Park's open air venue.
