Since there are different approaches to the understanding of naturism and naturist offer, what alienates them from the original naturist principles, INF realized the need to create a standard framework for the unification of basic naturist needs that resulted in the awarding of the first certificate. The certificate was presented by the President of the International Naturist Federation - Ivo Siegliende and the President of the Croatian Naturist Association - Davorin Zugčić at the head office of the Istria County in Pula. |
