BELGRADE, July 6. /TASS/. Kent the gibbon, a Croatian FIFA World Cup oracle, who has made not a single mistake until now, has predicted Russia’s win over Croatia in their quarterfinals match to be played in Sochi on July 7.

Video footage of the process was made public by Zagreb’s Zoo on Friday.

Previously, Kent made three correct predictions anticipating Croatia’s win over Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland.

The prediction process is as follows: two nesting dolls with the flags of participating teams depicted on them and fruits hidden inside are laid out before Kent and his family. The doll he choose to pick fruits from indicates his prediction of the winning team.

This time, Kent’s wife and daughter were the first to approach the dolls. They sniffed the dolls, scrutinized their faces, slapped the Russia doll in the forehead and toppled the Croatia doll to send it rolling towards the Russian once and started to eat fruits from the doll with the Croatian flag. Kent however did not share their choice and came up to the Russia doll unhesitatingly to pick up fruits from it.

Natalia Yakimchuk, a representative of Rossotrudnichestvo - Russia’s Federal Agency for the Commonwealth of Independent States, Compatriots Living Abroad, and International Humanitarian Cooperation, saw the prediction process with her own eyes and shared her impressions with TASS. "I was there today when the prediction was made. There were many reporters. First, Kent’s wife and daughter appeared. Both came up to the Croatian doll. Then appeared Kent who headed to the Russian doll, and formally, only his choice matters. So, Kent predicted Russia’s win in the match. Naturally, Croatian journalists filming the process said they hoped for woman’s intuition that often proves right. Nevertheless, Kent did not change his choice," she said.
