Lejdi Perković Jarnec, the niece of Croatian singer Marko Perković Thompson, drew attention at a recent concert in Šibenik.
Attending the event with nearly 30,000 people at the Šubićevac stadium, Lejdi shared her support for her uncle on Instagram Stories. She wore a special olive-green T-shirt commemorating the 31st anniversary of the military-police operation "Oluja" (Storm). Her hair was styled in two braids adorned with red, white, and blue ribbons, matching the Croatian flag colors.
In one post, she smiled while holding a Croatian flag with the inscription "Čavoglave," a reference to one of Thompson's most famous songs. She captioned the image: "The 31st anniversary of Oluja is not to be missed!" Another post showed the stage and the crowd, which had filled the stadium an hour before the concert began.
Lejdi also mentioned that she had recently returned from a vacation in Italy, alluding to a trip to Capri that caused her to miss Thompson's concert in Zaprešić. "Don't worry, I'm not in Italy anymore!" she wrote alongside a photo from the Šibenik concert.
This is not the first time Lejdi has shown public support for her uncle. She has previously attended his concerts in Sinj, Varaždin, and Zagreb, sharing emotional moments on social media from these events as well. The concert in Šibenik featured songs like "Bojna Čavoglave" and "Anica, kninska kraljica," with Thompson reportedly becoming emotional while greeting the audience.
