Today, a ceremonial oath is being held at the barracks in Požega for cadets who began their basic military training earlier this March. Among them is Diva Perković, the daughter of well-known Croatian singer Marko Perković Thompson. Official data from the Ministry of Defense indicates that out of 800 cadets, 446 volunteered, including 82 women. Training takes place in Požega, Knin, and Slunj, with Požega serving as the central location for this cycle.

Diva Perković is gaining attention not only for her commitment to military service but also because of her father's fame. As an integral part of this generation of cadets, her oath-taking is particularly notable given her father's prominence in Croatian popular culture. Marko Thompson’s presence is expected to attract additional public interest, as he is a leading figure whose activities often generate media coverage.

While Diva's father has long been a subject of public interest, she and the rest of her family tend to stay out of the limelight. Born in 2007, she recently completed high school and has been living a relatively private life, away from media attention. However, her participation in the military and her connection to a famous figure like her father have begun to draw her into public discussions more frequently lately, marking a significant moment in her transition into adulthood and societal roles.
