Abstract:
Abstract After Croatia’s accession to the European Union, a trend of increased emigration of Croatian citizens outside the borders of Croatia was noticed. The aim of this paper is to map selected demographic characteristics of contemporary migration trends between Croatia and Austria in the period from 2013 (Croatia’s accession to the European Union) to 2020. The paper uses classical demographic statistical-mathematical analytical methods in combination with GIS analysis. The paper is based on official Austrian statistics with a focus on Croatian citizens. The spatial framework of the research is the state level and the Austrian NUTS 3 regions (Gruppen von Gemeinden). According to Austrian statistics, a total of 14,011 Croatian citizens emigrated from Austria to Croatia, and a total of 33,127 Croatian citizens immigrated to Austria from Croatia, which means that Croatia recorded a negative overall migration balance compared with Austria (–19,116 Croatian citizens). As a result, Croatia lost an average of approximately 2,730 people a year due to the emigration of Croatian citizens to Austria.

Abstract:
Abstract This article, based on the results of focus-group discussions, dyads, and interviews in Croatia, examines how Croatians construct their narrative of the 1992-1995 conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia’s role in it. Despite judgements at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) concluding that the Croatian state intervened in the Bosnian conflict, respondents in this study claimed to be ignorant of any such intervention. What was discussed worked in concert with the dominant Croatian war narrative of Croatian defence, victimhood, and sacrifice in the face of a larger, Serbian aggressor. By portraying the Bosnian conflict as chaotic and savage, respondents differentiated it from the Croatian one and relativised any illicit actions within a framework of nesting orientalism. Croatian involvement in Bosnia-Herzegovina was generally seen as positive: it was viewed in terms of Croatia welcoming Bosniak refugees and providing military assistance, which enabled moral licensing with regard to the rarely mentioned and marginalised negative aspects of Croatia’s involvement in the conflict.

Abstract:
This article examines the role of Balkanist discourse in Tudman’s Croatia. Todorova’s concept of Balkanism provides a useful theoretical framework through which to explore the deployment of Balkanist stereotypes against Croatia by Western leaders. Balkanism also illuminates the ways in which Croatians used many of these same Balkan stereotypes to differentiate themselves from their neighbors to the south and east. Through an examination of Croatian newspaper columns, government documents and speeches, and political cartoons from the 1990s, this article analyzes how Balkanist interpretations and representations played an integral role in the construction of Croatian national identity and the mobilization of Croatians around a variety of political agendas. The objective of this article is not, however, simply to document the deployment of Balkanist stereotypes against or within Croatia. The second component of the article suggests ways in which Croatia’s liminal position between “Europe” and the “Balkans” might serve as an ideal standpoint from which one might challenge the binary oppositions of Balkanism and begin to reimagine the Balkans, redirecting these categories as a site of political engagement and critique.

English Abstract: The ties between Croats and Czechs, based on common Slavic roots, can be traced back to the distant past. From the eighteenth century, especially while belonging to the same state, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Czechs immigrated in large numbers to the territory of today's Croatia. First came farmers in search of free land to cultivate, and later craftsmen, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, and artists arrived. The subject of cooperation between Croatians and Czechs in the sound recording industry can be traced from the paper labels on recordings, which reveal that many Czech records were produced in Zagreb, while many Croatian records were produced in Ústí nad Labem and Prague in what is today the Czech Republic. On the Croatian side, there is some literature on the first years of recorded sound in Croatia, as well as articles in periodicals from the period and scarce archival sources. As a participant in a scientific project on the Croatian industry of gramophone records (the record industry in Croatia from 1927 to the end of the 1950s), I conducted comprehensive research in Prague to trace the bilateral links between Croatian Edison Bell Penkala (EBP) and Elektroton and Czech gramophone companies (Esta, Ultraphon, etc.); on companies that recorded Croatian artists before EBP; and on the cooperation between Czech Gramofonové závody and Jugoton at the beginning of their existence. Colleagues provided insight into the available literature, documentation, and results of their research for the project Novy Fonograf ( Novy Fonograf : nasluchejme zvuku historie. For information on the project, see: https://novyfonograf.cz/en/about/). Additional information was also found from the Zagreb company Croatia Records (formerly Jugoton) and the Archive of Yugoslavia in Belgrade. In this article, I will explain the flow of cooperation between the two countries on the production of shellac gramophone recordings in the time of world wars and turbulent political changes. French Abstract: Les liens entre Croates et Tchèques, fondés sur des racines slaves communes, peuvent être retracés depuis un passé lointain. Dès le XVIIIe siècle, surtout lorsqu'ils appartenaient au même État, l'Empire austro-hongrois, les Tchèques ont immigré en grand nombre sur le territoire de l'actuelle Croatie. Les premiers arrivants furent des agriculteurs à la recherche de terres libres à cultiver, et plus tard des artisans, des entrepreneurs, des intellectuels et des artistes. La coopération entre Croates et Tchèques dans l'industrie de l'enregistrement sonore peut être retracée à partir des étiquettes papier des enregistrements, qui révèlent que de nombreux disques tchèques ont été produits à Zagreb, tandis que de nombreux disques croates ont été produits à Ústí nad Labem et à Prague, dans ce qui est aujourd'hui la République tchèque. Côté croate, il existe un peu de littérature sur les premières années de l'enregistrement sonore en Croatie, ainsi que des articles dans des périodiques de l'époque et de maigres sources d'archives. En tant que participant à un projet scientifique sur l'industrie croate des disques gramophones (l'industrie du disque en Croatie de 1927 à la fin des années 1950), j'ai mené des recherches approfondies à Prague pour retracer les liens bilatéraux entre les sociétés croates Edison Bell Penkala (EBP) et Elektroton et les sociétés tchèques de gramophones (Esta, Ultraphon, etc.) ; sur les sociétés qui ont enregistré des artistes croates avant EBP ; et sur la coopération entre les sociétés tchèques Gramofonové závody et Jugoton au début de leur existence. German Abstract: Die auf gemeinsamen slawischen Wurzeln beruhenden Verbindungen zwischen Kroaten und Tschechen lassen sich bis in die ferne Vergangenheit zurückverfolgen. Seit dem 18. Jahrhundert wanderten Tschechen in großer Zahl in das Gebiet des heutigen Kroatien ein, insbesondere solange sowohl Tschechien als auch Kroatien Teil der Österreichisch-Ungarischen Monarchie waren. Zunächst kamen Bauern auf der Suche nach freiem Land zum Bewirtschaften, später dann Handwerker, Unternehmer, Intellektuelle und Künstler. Das Thema der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Kroaten und Tschechen in der Tonträgerindustrie lässt sich anhand der Labels auf Tonträgern nachvollziehen; aus ihnen geht hervor, dass viele tschechische Schallplatten in Zagreb produziert wurden, während viele kroatische Schallplatten in Ústí nad Labem und Prag, also in der heutigen tschechischen Republik, hergestellt wurden. Auf kroatischer Seite gibt es einige Literatur über die ersten Jahre der Tonaufzeichnung in Kroatien sowie zeitgenössische Zeitschriftenartikel und seltene Archivquellen. Als Teilnehmerin eines wissenschaftlichen Projekts über die kroatische Schallplattenindustrie – mit dem Thema 'Die Schallplattenindustrie in Kroatien von 1927 bis zum Ende der 1950er Jahre' – führte ich in Prag umfassende Recherchen durch, um die bilateralen Verbindungen zwischen der kroatischen Edison Bell Penkala (EBP) und Elektroton einerseits und den tschechischen Grammophonunternehmen (Esta, Ultraphon usw.) andererseits zu untersuchen. Meine Forschung widmete sich außerdem Unternehmen, die vor EBP Aufnahmen kroatischer Künstler gemacht haben, sowie der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der tschechischen Gramofonové závody und Jugoton zu Beginn ihrer Existenz. Kollegen haben mir Literatur, Dokumente und Forschungsergebnisse zum Projekt Novy Fonograf zur Verfügung gestellt. (Novy Fonograf: nasluchejme zvuku historie. – Informationen zum Projekt finden Sie unter: https://novyfonograf.cz/en/about/). Zusätzliche Informationen wurden auch bei der Zagreber Firma Croatia Records (ehemals Jugoton) und dem Archiv Jugoslawiens in Belgrad gefunden. Im Beitrag wird der Ablauf der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den beiden Ländern bei der Herstellung von Schellackplattenaufnahmen zur Zeit der Weltkriege und turbulenter politischer Veränderungen erläutert.

Abstract:
Aim: What was the attitude of the first Croatian president Franjo Tuđman and the Croatian leadership towards the Holocaust and the Jewish community in Croatia in the 1990s? Some considered Tuđman a Holocaust denier because of the purportedly controversial parts of his 1989 book Bespuća povijesne zbiljnosti (Wastelands of Historical Reality). The Croatian leadership was accused of minimizing World War II crimes of the Ustasha regime and rehabilitating the World War II Independent State of Croatia. Methods: We analyzed archival documents, Tuđman’s published correspondence, controversial parts of his Wastelands of Historical Reality, his public statements, biographical writings of contemporary Croatian leaders, and newspaper articles. We scrutinized the Serbian propaganda against Croatia in the 1990s, the position and role of the Jewish community and prominent Jews in Croatian public life as well as the relations between Croatia and Israel. Findings: The Croatian leadership and the Jewish community maintained good relations in the 1990s. Some prominent Croatian Jews actively advocated for Croatia’s international recognition and refuted certain authors’ and some Jewish international circles’ accusations of antisemitism among Croatian leadership. Jews participated at the highest levels of Croatian government. Democratic changes at the beginning of the 1990s enabled national, religious, political and other freedoms for minorities in Croatia, including the Jewish community. Still, some authors considered Tuđman an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier. These opinions were partly shaped by quotes from the Wastelands of Historical Reality taken out of context and published by Serbian propagandists. This propaganda successfully shaped the false perception of official antisemitism in Croatia and has contributed to the delay in the establishment of the diplomatic relations between Croatia and Israel for more than five years after Israel had recognized Croatia. Conclusion: There is no evidence for claims of political antisemitism in Croatia in the 1990s. This article sheds light on this widely manipulated topic and provides a basis for further research.

Abstract:
The nationalist approach to Croatianhood formed within the Croatian Party of Rights and and the concept of political Catholicism were both introduced into the Croatian historiography of Bosnia and Herzegovina at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. This phenomenon, along with a new historical perspective on Croatia as „mother-land“, led to attemptsto Croatize the Bosnian Middle Ages. As a result, an extensive historiography was created with the aim of presenting the Bosnian Middle Ages as part of Croatian medieval national history. These efforts were also reflected in a false ethnic and religious attribution of stećaks – Bosnian medieval tombstones – which were and still are attributed exclusively to Croatians andCatholics. The extent of the Croatization of the Bosnian Middle Ages, and thus of stećaks too, changed withthe changing political regimes. In the Austro-Hungarian period (1878–1918) two authors, Fran Milobar and Ivo Pilar, published books and articles based on the theory, propagated by the Croatian Party of Rights, about the „original territorial acquisition.“They set up and developed a pseudoscholarly thesis about the ethnic and dynastic Croatian character of the Bosnian Middle Ages. During the first Yugoslavia (1918–1941) the thesis was picked up and further developed by Josip Horvat in his monumental synthetic work on a thousand years of Croatian culture. During the same period a number of articles were published in an issue of the People’s Calendar, put out by Napredak, the Croatian Cultural Society of Bosnia-Herzegovina,which propagated this historiographic error to a wider readership. During the quisling state called The IndependentState od Croatia (Nezavisna Država Hrvatska, 1941–1945), the Croatization of the Bosnian Middle Ages was “standardized” in a publication produced by Napredak and entitled The History of Croatian Lands in Bosnia and Herzegovina from the Earliest Times until 1463; the main contributors were Filip Lukas, Oton Knezović, Ćiro Truhelka, Ljubo Karaman, VladimirVrana and Mate Tentor. The theory of Croatian Bosnia was also popularized through textbooks. Ante Pavelić, the head of The Independent State od Croatia, dealt with the same topic in his writings, using the Bosnian Middle Ages as the central motif. Particularly manifest in these writings are historiographical and geopolitical delusions concocted in order to legalizeThe Ustasa regime: 1. The Drina river – the civilizational boundary between two worlds in the context of national and ideological topography with the inclusion of the Drina river in the lyrics of the Croatian national anthem. 2. Croatians – the outer wall ofWestern Europe. 3. Iranian/Gothic origin of Croats. 4. The supposed centuries-old continuity of Croatian statehood as a legitimizing factor for The Independent State of Croatia. 5. Bosnia – body and heart of the Independent State of Croatia.In the period since 1945, father Dominik Mandić – a prominent name in historic scholarship to this day – went further than anybody else in the Croatization of the Bosnian Middle Ages. Some encyclopedic publications, even the latest ones, as well as of course the Internet as the most suitable tool for the globalization of such delusions, were not exempt from the“virus” of bad scholarship. Abandoning the Croatian myth of Greater Croatia, invented by the Croatiann Party of Rights, of Croatian Bosnia since “the seventh century” and the placing of the “Croatian question” in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the context of its creation – since the nineteenth/twentieth century – ought to be the primary goal of historical scholarship as a “secondary” discipline in the creation of democratic political culture. The Croatization of stećaks and of the Bosnian Middle Ages cannot contribute to the achievement of this goal because, apart from being factually unsound, it reflects a state of political immaturity. Scholarly maturity is a prerequisite to the maturity of political culture and its „relocation“ from the worldof submissive and parochial culture into the world of participatory and civic culture.

Abstract:
This manuscript aimed to show the development of gymnastics in Croatia up until 1903. This article provided a chronological description of the growth of gymnastics in Croatia from 1859 to 1903. In Osijek, Croatia's first gymnastics society was founded in 1865. Gymnastics were introduced into schools in the middle of the 19th century as a result of increased interest in physical education based on by the stronger development of civil society. 1874. was founded Croatian Sokol in Zagreb and gymnastics also became a part of a high school program. In Croatia, numerous gymnastics societies started to be established, including the Varaždin Sokol Gymnastic Society in 1878 and the Zadar Gymnastic Society in 1876. In Dalmatia, central Croatia, and Slavonia, new gymnastics societies have been founded. For example, the Croatian Sokol was founded in Bjelovar in 1884 and Makarska in 1894. Additionally, the gymnastics society took part in open workouts in Prague and Pariz. Women's gymnastics started on in 1891 in Croatian Sokol in Zagreb where exercises were conducted in three divisions, including simple exercises and those on the apparatus.

Abstract:
This article concerns two national museums in Croatia during the socialist period, the Museum of the Revolution of the Peoples of Croatia and the Historical Museum of Croatia. Both state-developed institutions were intimately tied to the process of nationalization as they helped articulate the place of the Croatian nation within the ideology of supranational Yugoslavism founded on the ideas of socialist patriotism, brotherhood and unity, self-management, national assertion, and South Slavic culture and community. This paper therefore traces the development and collapse of Yugoslavism in Croatia's national narrative by analyzing how these museums adapted the mythology of socialist Yugoslavism for a particularly Croatian context. Specifically, this paper investigates the ways in which these museums operated in an often ambiguous national-supranational discourse in order to reinforce the historical precedents of Croatia as part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. I argue that these museums were envisioned by party elites and museum curators alike as essential to the project of building socialist Yugoslavism by adapting and altering Croatia's previous national pantheon of heroes, places, objects, and events to fit into a larger and distinctly supranational Yugoslav framework.

Abstract:
Horse breeding in the Republic of Croatia, before its entrance into European Union, is in the transitional period. In the breeding sense, Croatian horse breeding is set according to the model of European countries and is trying to counteract with ?modern horse breeding countries?. Croatian Center for Horse Breeding - Djakovo and Lipik State Stud Farms (CCHB), with the Central register of equidae is, as the head national institution, responsible for running and maintaining national central equidae database (49 registers of horses and 27 registers of breeding types). Croatia has registered total of 21.796 equidae, from which 19.306 animals are horses. Registered horses according to groups make the total proportion of 37% warmblood horses, 59% coldblood horses and 4% ponies. Horse breeders are organized in breeders associations, which form federations of associations referring to separate horse breeds. Currently in Croatia there are four federations of breeders associations (with 43 associations and 11 private stud farms). Those verified breeding organizations are conducting independently breeding programs and fully maintain breeding and selection obligations for horse breeds for which they have approval of the Croatian Ministry. Native breeds in Croatia are Croatian Coldblood, Croatian Posavac and Medjimurje horse (Murinsulaner), while Lipizzan horse is considered as protected breed. Development of horse breeding is considerably supported with national subsidies. Internationally verified breeds which are bred in Croatia are Lipizzan horse, Pure Arabian horses, Thoroughbred, Haflinger and Gidran horses. The horse breeding in Croatia is developing in four different directions. Ecological breeding implies native horse breeds and is spread on the areas of protected nature resorts in Croatia. Croatians are through their history connected to horse breeding, which is even today irreplaceable in traditional cultural manifestations (Djakovacki vezovi, Vinkovacke jeseni, Sinjska alka, etc.), various horse shows and fairs and also in more ?modern? ways through recreation and entertainment. The third direction of development of horse breeding in Croatia is therapeutic riding, which includes 26 associations, over one hundred horses and over one thousand users organized under the Therapeutic Riding Association of Croatia. Sports horse breeding represents fourth direction in Croatian horse breeding. It is formed by four federations: Croatian Trotting Federation (trotting), Croatian Gallop Federation (gallop sport) and Croatian Equestrian Federation (endurance, dressage, military, show jumping, driving). Croatian Equestrian Federation includes 49 equestrian clubs. In the last four years between 455 and 582 competitors and between 495 and 581 horses (for show jumping 45%, dressage 31%, endurance 19%, driving 5% and military) were licensed annually. Croatia achieved noticeable results on the international scene in driving sports and in Paralympics. In all mentioned directions of Croatian horse breeding, the tendency should be directed to achieving higher breeding standards (nutrition, stabling, transport, training) and more rational using of horses. Such breeding and using of horses will lead to top bred horses and successful sport horses. This implies synchronized work through long period of time, respecting institutional and breeding rules.

Full text
Abstract:

The Serbs are a national group which has been disliked by the Croats for hundreds of years. Even before Croatia became a part of Yugoslavia, the country wanted its independence. However, before and after the break up of Yugoslavia, there was a strong nationalism in the country which led to hatred towards the Serbs and the Serb minorities in Croatia. Studies have shown that minorities often are disfavoured by the majority decisions. This leads to a disadvantageous position for the minorities in the relation to the majority. The problem is how a state should compensate these groups for their disadvantageous position to be able to ensure justice and equality for all citizens within the country.

The aim of this thesis is to compare Croatia’s formal national minority rights with the actual national minority rights of the Serbs and to see whether they coincide with each other. The research questions are:

• What formal minority rights do Croatian Serbs have in Croatia?

• What minority rights do Croatian Serbs have in reality?

The method used in this study is the qualitative text analysis.

The conclusion of this thesis is that Croatia has a positive attitude towards minority rights and the Serb minority, as Croatia has allocated group-differentiated rights to its national minorities. The Croatian view upon national minority rights coincides to a large extent with Will Kymlicka´s theory. Furthermore, the formal rights and the virtual rights regarding education, language, culture and proportional representation coincides to a great extent if not precisely.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the shape, the dynamics, and the main reasons for media capture and collusion in Croatia since the second transition in 2000. Using principal-agent theory to refer to the basic relation-ship between politicians, media and citizens, I intend to explain why politicians make use of particularism - behaviour aiming at the limitation of horizontal accountability - to force the media into cooperation with politicians (media capture) or to engage in an illicit, mutually agreed deal (collusion). Located in the literatures on democratization, party research and media studies, I aim to connect these fields in arguing that intra-party dynamics such as party leaders' rootedness, contestation and the institutionalization of rules play an important role in incentivizing executive politicians to capture or collude with media outlets. The empirical outcome of the study showing drastic failures of horizontal accountability contradicts dominant narratives of Croatia's high level of democratic consolidation between 2000 and 2014 and therefore challenges the suitability of indicators primarily designed to capture the institutionalization of institutions rather than the institutionalization of particularism. Croatia is a particularly appropriate case to study in this context since none of the traditional incentives such as Europeanization, inter-party competition, a strong civil society or economic modernization can fully explain shifts in the way politicians limit or reinforce horizontal accountability of the media. In order to address this puzzle I adopt a two-pronged research strategy based on both qualitative and quantitative elements in order to reliably and validly measure the shape and development of media capture and collusion.

Full text
Abstract:
Across the world, studies of undeclared work have largely focused on measurements of its size rather than unearthing the nature and motives of those engaged in the undeclared economy, which is required if undeclared work is to be tackled. The aim of this thesis is to use social exchange theory (SET) to develop a theoretically informed framework for understanding participation in undeclared work. This framework views an understanding of both vertical (government-citizen) and horizontal (amongst citizens) relations as crucial when explaining participation in undeclared work. When analysing the former, social contract and elements of trust and justice are considered, whereas the latter considers the level of tolerance of undeclared work and influence of social norms. The aim of this thesis, therefore, is to use a study of Croatia to evaluate not only the validity of current theorisations of undeclared work, but also the validity of SET as a conceptual framework to explain participation in undeclared work. In doing so, this thesis provides not only the first contemporary study of undeclared work in Croatia, but also the first known attempt to use SET to understand this phenomenon. To achieve this, 300 face-to-face interviews have been conducted in the city of Split, along with 20 in-depth follow-up interviews in 2012. The findings reveal not only the multifarious character of undeclared work and diverse motives underpinning the decision to participate in this realm, but also how SET provides a useful framework for explaining such engagement. The level of trust in the state and social norms are shown to explain to a significant extent engagement in the undeclared economy. This thesis then unpacks how citizens conceptualise the social contract with the state, as well as the complex formation of social norms surrounding undeclared activities. Having established the applicability and usefulness of social exchange theory as an underpinning framework for understanding undeclared work, the wider policy implications are then drawn out. This reveals that in populations where tax morale is low and the social contract weak, there is a need to focus upon indirect policy measures that seek to improve the vertical relations, as well as change the social norms embedded in the horizontal relations that currently normalise undeclared work.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the central place of racial theories in the nationalist ideology of the Croatian Ustasha movement and regime, and how these theories functioned as the chief motive in shaping Ustasha policies toward the minorities of the Nazi-backed Independent State of Croatia (known by its Croatian initials as the NDH), namely, Serbs, Jews, Roma and Bosnian Muslims, during the years 1941 to 1945. This thesis is divided into three parts. The first part deals with historical background, concentrating on the history of Croatian national movements from the 1830s to the 1930s. The second part covers the period between the founding of the Ustasha movement in 1930 and the creation of the NDH in 1941. The third part examines the period of Ustasha power from 1941 to 1945. Through the above chronological division, this thesis traces the evolution of Ustasha ideas on nation and race, placing them within the historical context of processes of Croatian national integration. Although the Ustashe were brought to power by Nazi Germany, their ideology emerged less as an imitation of German National Socialism and more as an extremist reaction to the supranational and expansionist nationalist ideologies of Yugoslavism and Greater Serbianism. In contrast to the prevailing historiographical view that has either ignored or downplayed the significance of racial theori! es on Ustasha policies toward the minorities of the NDH, this thesis highlights the marked influence of the question of 'race' on Ustasha attitudes toward the 'problem' of minorities, and on the wider question of Croatian national identity. This thesis examines the Ustashe by focusing on the historical interplay between nationalism and racism, which dominated so much of the modern political life of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. The fusion of nationalism and racism was not unique to Ustasha ideology, but the evolution and nature of Ustasha racism was. Ustasha racial ideas were therefore the product of both specific Croatian and wider European historical trends. This examination of the historical intersection between nationalism and racism in the case of the Ustashe will, i hope, broaden our understanding of twentieth-century nation-state formation, and state treatment of minorities, in the Balkans and Eastern Europe.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter examines the Croatian Government’s policies for Croats abroad with a focus on social protection. The history of Croatian diaspora-homeland engagement over a century culminating in the establishment of the independent state of Croatia in 1991, informs the prioritization of Croats abroad in the social policy landscape. In addition to outlining the diaspora and consular infrastructures, culture and education policies, the protection of Croats abroad in the areas of health, employment, pensions and family-related benefits is reviewed. The findings of this analysis reveal that while the Croatian government continues to profess its commitment to providing a comprehensive program of social protection for Croats abroad, policies guaranteeing substantive social protection are mainly found in those (primarily post-Yugoslav) states where Croatia has negotiated bilateral agreements for Croats identified as a minority. The provision of protection for Croats abroad in general therefore falls somewhat short in so far as a robust, concrete set of measures are concerned.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to comprehensively explore and understand the nuances of luxury hospitality and tourism in Croatia. It examines the characteristics and expectations associated with luxury hospitality and luxury tourism, identifies growth opportunities, and discusses challenges facing the development of luxury tourism in the country. Methodology – Thematic analysis was employed to analyze responses from interviews with stakeholders in the Croatian hospitality industry. These interviews focused on defining luxury hotel tourism products/experiences and luxury tourism in Croatia, as well as identifying key themes and challenges in luxury tourism development. Findings – The findings shed light on what constitutes a Croatian luxury hotel product and Croatia as a luxury tourism destination. Key characteristics include exceptional service, personalized experiences, integration with natural surroundings, architectural sophistication, and gastronomic excellence. Despite challenges like limited global luxury brands and infrastructure, Croatia’s diverse culinary tradition, exclusive accommodations, and picturesque locations contribute to its allure as a luxury destination. Originality of the research – The findings offer insights for tourism providers to tailor their offerings towards more meaningful and memorable experiences, emphasizing exceptional service, personalization, natural surroundings integration, architectural sophistication, gastronomic excellence, and exclusivity. Addressing challenges such as infrastructure limitations and overcrowding, along with strategic investments in upscale amenities and services, can elevate Croatia’s competitiveness in the luxury tourism market. This paper marks the initial effort in addressing the research gap in luxury tourism, signaling the need for further exploration of luxury tourism in Croatia.

Abstract:
In the last twenty years, through the democratic development of the Republic of Croatia, the problem of modernizing parliamentary electoral legislation and the need and desire to create a better and fairer electoral system as a whole, which will bring the Republic of Croatia into European integration and the map of Western democracies comes “to the surface”. In order for the implementation of the political desire to join Western democracies and bring the Republic of Croatia closer to the European Union realize its full potential, the electoral system was changed in 1999, and since then seven elections have been held for the Croatian Parliament, and the Republic of Croatia has in the meantime become a full member of the European Union. On this democratic path and democratic-parliamentary progress of the Republic of Croatia, a constant and unchanged circumstance (parliamentary anomaly) was noticed, which the Constitutional Court warned about back in 2010, and that is the need to create a fairer electoral system, since these existing ones call into question legality and constitutionality of the election results (the warning which the Croatian Parliament still ignores). Therefore, in this paper, the authors, by analyzing the existing electoral system and comparing the 2000 and 2020 elections, identify its shortcomings, inconsistencies between the Act on Election of Representatives to the Croatian Parliament and the Act on Constituencies. Further analysis in this paper refers to the fact of imbalance in the number of voters in different constituencies in which an identical number of representatives is elected (malapportionment), and the lack of “justness” that allows issues of political engineering and forming post-election coalitions, as well as the possibility of representatives “entering” the Croatian Parliament with a minimum number of votes obtained. Also, the authors try to confirm the thesis that the existing electoral system of electing representatives to the Croatian Parliament as a legislative body of the Republic of Croatia needs to be made more just in order to completely fulfill its purpose of creating parliamentary democracy in accordance with the rule of law and the will of the people. In light of the above, the paper will compare and analyze the results of the aforementioned parliamentary elections and their shortcomings, and will provide an overview of the necessary changes and the creation of a future more just electoral system, which the Republic of Croatia certainly needs and which will reduce to a minimum the difference between law and justice in the procedures for the election of representatives to the Croatian Parliament.

Full text
Abstract:
The overall objective of the project “Investigation of seismically vulnerable areas in Croatia and seismic ground motion assessment” – CRONOS – is to make Croatian society more resilient to the impact of destructive earthquakes. The aim of the CRONOS project, funded by Norwegian Financial Mechanism, is to facilitate this through the development and modernization of seismic hazard assessment in Croatia and stimulate the development of seismic risk reduction policies through scientific infrastructure and capacity building, knowledge transfer and international research cooperation. The first step towards the presented goal is to analyse and understand the past seismicity of the given area. Therefore, for the chosen area (42.5 – 44.5 °N, 14.75° – 17.75 °E) an earthquake catalogue CEC-Cronos has been prepared. The chosen area includes the wider area of central and southern Croatian coastal area (Dalmatia) – one of the seismically most prone areas in Croatia. The given catalogue contains almost 48000 earthquakes which occurred between the years 306 and 2020. Those earthquakes, magnitudes up to 6.7 and intensity in the epicentre up to IX °MSK, have been statistically processed and will be presented. Croatia is characterized by a moderate-to-high level of seismicity, highest in its northwestern and coastal parts. More than 145.000 earthquakes from the period before Christ till the end of 2020 are contained in the Croatian Earthquake Catalogue (CEC). There were more than 100 stronger earthquakes, whose computed or estimated magnitudes were more than 5. The majority of the earthquakes on Croatian territory are the result of the strain accumulation caused by the rotation of the Adria microplate towards the Eurasian tectonic plate. Additionally, central Croatia is in a contact zone of three big geological units: The Alps, the Dinarides (or The Dinaric Alps), and the Pannonian Basin.

Abstract:
According to estimates, the expatriate community of Croats in Italy numbers between 15 and 20 thousand persons with Croatian citizenship, and in the province of Molise, where Croats have minority status, about 2 thousand. Considering the geographical proximity and the dynamics of Croatian-Italian external migration, it was determined that there is a lack of research that would explain the links between globalization and the preservation of national identity. Based on the conducted field research using survey methods and semi-structured interviews, the attitudes of teachers of Croatian remedial classes in Rome and students attending classes were examined, primarily on the challenges of the sustainability of Croats in terms of demographic, cultural and identity. The special feature of this Croatian emigrant community is that Croats in Rome do not have any specially recognized status, which is why their activities are partly limited. The emphasis of the research is on the study of the components of national identity, i.e. the language, culture, history and traditions of Croatia, which are taken care of by the Croatian supplementary education in Rome. Research will be conducted on the level of knowledge of the Croatian language, history and culture among the children of Croatian emigrants in Rome, the challenges of organizing Croatian classes in Rome, and the interest of Croatian emigrants in nurturing and maintaining ties with their homeland. The obtained results will be the basis for the revision of the existing system of organization of Croatian teaching abroad and for a better understanding of contemporary migration patterns and the phenomenon of Croatian emigration.

Abstract:
Purpose – Since the Census in 2011, Croatia has seen a substantial population decline. Given the high contribution of tourism to the Croatian economy, this paper empirically analyses the relationship between population migration, namely total net migration and net migration abroad, and tourism activity. Methodology – The research design of this paper is based on quantitative econometric panel data analysis using annual data for cities and municipalities in Croatia between 2002 and 2019. A oneway and two-way fixed effects model are used for the estimation of the regression model coefficients. Findings – The set models provide insight into the relationship between net migration or migration abroad and tourism activity. Tourism can be seen as a generator of demographic change, especially in rural and less developed areas, as it generates employment opportunities and, thus, the opportunity for permanent residency. Contribution – The main contribution of this paper is the novel use of such detailed data at the geographical level that spans over two decades. This generates empirical insights that hold high levels of external validity. A further important aspect of the paper is the analysis of the connection between population migration and tourism activity in the context of Croatia's accession to the European Union and verification of the theoretically grounded expectation that tourism activity as pull factor is positively related to population net migration.

Abstract:
Purpose – The intent of this study was to compare the extent to which Croatia’s wellness tourism products are comparable to those in the leading wellness destinations in Europe. The purpose of this paper is to explore wellness experts' perception of possibilities and limitations of Croatia's convergence to contemporary wellness trends, to explore willingness and intention of service providers to improve their wellness tourism products, and to provide some policy recommendations that would bring Croatia's wellness destinations closer to benchmark wellness destinations in Europe. Methodology – This qualitative research is based on primary and secondary data collection. A desk research method was used to identify the key trends, select benchmark destinations, and to analyze Croatia’s wellness tourism offer. For primary data collection, a focus group was used to explore experts' perception on wellness tourism offer in Croatia and willingness and intention of wellness service providers to improve their offer according to global trends. Findings – The research proved that wellness is still an increasingly attractive tourism product, but also revealed large variations in its quality across Europe. Although Croatia’s wellness tourism offer suffers from mediocrity, absence of standards and vision of future development, it has significant potentials to become internationally competitive. Contribution – The main contribution of this research is four-fold: 1) provides overview of new market trends in wellness business, 2) enables insight into current state and ways of improvement of wellness tourism offer in Croatia, 3) discusses intention of wellness managers to improve wellness tourism offer, and 4) provides some policy recommendations to improve its convergence towards global standards and best practices.

Abstract:
This article surveys and presents the applications of Data Envelop­ment Analysis (DEA) in Croatia, i.e. in different industries and economic sectors in Croatia. The systematic review followed the PRISMA statement and guide­lines for systematic literature review. The main scientific online databases were accessed in September 2022 without time constraints with the use of the key­words „DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS“ and „CROATIA“. Therefore, all the ap­plications of DEA in Croatia are presented ever since the introduction of DEA back in 1978. This review’s main goal is to gain insights into the areas of re­search in Croatia that most commonly use the DEA methodology and the ar­eas that neglect this methodology. Moreover, the Croatian authors that most commonly use this methodology will be revealed. Another goal is to introduce all the various aspects of efficiency evaluation that can be used with the DEA methodology. The ultimate goal of this paper is to increase awareness among academic members, scholars and analysts to employ the DEA methodolo­gy more often when it comes to measuring the relative efficiency of homoge­neous decision-making units (DMUs). The paper concludes with a summary of the DEA applications as well as literature gaps on DEA applications in Croatia. Moreover, suggestions and guidelines for future research are provided.

Abstract:
Due to its impact on the quality of the human capital, and thus, the country’s economic growth, education is considered a top priority and a strategic sector in every economy. This is the reason why education is in general publicly financed by governments throughout the world. Therefore, the efficiency of tertiary education needs to be consistently evaluated and measured. The main goal of this article is to survey and present all the published studies investigating the efficiency of tertiary education in the Republic of Croatia with the application of the non-parametric methodology Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Moreover, other goals of the study are to explore their used DEA models, the selected inputs and outputs as well as their findings and recommendations. The methodology used for this research is the extensive literature review of studies that employ the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in the efficiency evaluation of higher education in Croatia. The research approach includes a survey of the most relevant scientific databases for this research (i.e. Scopus, Web of Science – SSCI and SCI papers and the Croatian Scientific Bibliography CROSBI). The terms “Data Envelopment Analysis”, “Education” and “Croatia” were used for the data collection. After a total of 41 hits (5 in Scopus, 23 on WoS and 13 on CROSBI), a manual evaluation of the relevance and a selection has been made with the criterion of paper relevance. This ultimately led to 8 articles that investigate the relative efficiency of Croatian tertiary education. Thus, this article presents the findings of the most relevant published work regarding the efficiency of Croatian higher education and its findings are invaluable to the higher education institutions, the government, as well as academic members and the interested public.

Full text
Abstract:
This report deals with the repercussions of the war in Ukraine on the national conservative parties, as well as the radical and extremist right, in Croatia. It focuses closely on these actors’ attempts to draw parallels between the conflict in Ukraine and Croatia’s war of independence in the 1990s, known as the “Homeland War” (Domovinski rat). It also seeks to place into context what, if anything, is so “specific” about the activism of this party family concerning the war in Ukraine – including any “dissident” stances in comparison to the political mainstream. This report covers the most established parties of the Croatian Far Right but focuses most closely on the national conservative Homeland Movement (Domovinski Pokret). This report clarifies how this party: 1) seeks to draw a linkage between the developments in Ukraine and the identity and memory politics of the Homeland War; and 2) utilizes this process in its endeavour to antagonize Croatia’s ruling party, the Croatian Democratic Union.

Abstract:
Croatia, the newest member of the European Union, is set to introduce the euro as its currency in January 2023. Although it was announced that Croatia had fulfilled the Maastricht criteria for monetary union membership in May 2022, the country did not meet the criterion on the general government debt rate. This paper analyses Croatia’s readiness to join the euro area beyond meeting the Maastricht criteria. While monetary union membership has its positive sides, by joining, a country loses one of the most important tools of managing its economy – monetary policy. If the economy is strong and competitive enough, with efficient institutions and stable fiscal policy, the loss of monetary policy can be mitigated. However, Croatia’s decision to join the euro area is hasty, as if the country just wanted to join a prestigious club. This lack of preparedness could have major negative effects on one of the least competitive economies in the EU.

Abstract:
The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, countries agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
Southeast Europe faces depopulation: low birth rates and large-scale emigration foreshadow a dire image for the region’s demographic future. Family support and demographic incentives launched to increase fertility rates have not shown tangible results yet, while significant emigration to Western Europe suggests deeper structural problems. The first part of the analysis surveys the demographic trends in Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, and Serbia.
