Despite being born just two minutes apart, two Croatian newborns will celebrate their birthdays in different years. As a spokeswoman for the hospital in the southern coastal city of Split announced on Wednesday, one of the girls was born on December 31, 2023 at 11:59 p.m., and her younger sister was born on January 1, 2024, one minute later from midnight. .
The head of the hospital's maternity ward, Damir Roje, told local media that he had previously witnessed twins being born on two different days. However, twins have never been born in two different years. “This is a really unusual situation,” Roje said.
