Language school in Croatia withdraws poster with Melania Trump
A language school in Croatia has taken down five promotional posters featuring Melania Trump. The First Lady of the United States did not find the posters—which bore the slogan «Imagine how far a little English can take you!»—funny—and threatened to sue.
Following the threat of legal action, the institute withdrew the five advertising posters, Melania Trump's Slovenian lawyer Natas Pirc Musar told the AFP news agency on Wednesday.
The photo of Melania Trump was "illegally used for commercial purposes", said Pirc Musar. The language school had "grossly" violated Croatian law and the personal rights of the 47-year-old wife of US President Donald Trump.
The spokesperson for the language school and creator of the posters, Ivis Buric, defended the campaign. The advertising was intended to spread a "very positive message" and the primary aim was to promote the English language.
Melania Trump comes from Slovenia. She began her career as a model in 1990, which also took her to the USA. It was there that she met Trump, to whom she has been married since 2005. (SDA)
