Thanks to the cooperation with the Croatian National Tourist Board, these famous Easter eggs have spread the joy of the holiday throughout the squares, galleries and exhibition spaces of Rome and Vatican City, New York, Milan, Ferrara, Klagenfurt, Budapest, Brussels, Prague, Graz, Salzburg, Vienna, Munich, Bogdanci, Balatonboglar, Nikšić, Riverside, Pécs, Paris, Riga, Kotor, Medjugorje, Subotica, Zagreb, Varaždin, Dubrovnik, Vukovar, Marseille, Unterpullendorf, Tomislav-cGrad, Orebić, Constanza, and Koprivnica.

This year, the Easter eggs are posing proudly in the cities of Olomouc, Berlin, and Lendava.
