Click here: Osječki auto oglasnik
Ove godine stvarno s pozornošću morate pratiti naše objave, jer izmjene su postale naša svakodnevica. Hotel Millennium je moderan obiteljski hotel sa tri zvjezdice, udaljen je samo 2 km od središta grada Osijeka i 1 km od stare gradske jezgre Tvrđe. Obnavljanje oglasa je dozvoljeno jednom tjedno.
Djelatnosti: Muzej, galerija, atelje. Energetski certifikat razred F. Ozanom Tomić i prof.
Auto galerija osijek - Srednjoeuropski kulturni centar Novog Sada donosi nam u Osijek 40 grafika slavnog Pabla Picassa iz tri njegove edicije — Dupla flauta, Flora i fauna te Eluardova mapa.
Podsjećamo, s obzirom da je riječ o izvedbi u sklopu OLJK-a 2018. U isto vrijeme, ali u amfiteatru Eurodoma, koncert će održati Mia Dimšić i Fluentes, osječki Porinovci. Ovaj je koncert prvotno planiran za srijedu, no zbog polufinalne nogometne utakmice SP-a, odlučili smo ga prebaciti na dan ranije, i to u natkriven prostor, za svaki slučaj. Tijekom burlesknog putovanja kroz ranu povijest radija, 10 izvođača glumaca, glazbenika, pisaca žonglira proizvodeći zvučne efekte uživo foleys , atmosfere, glazbu i tišinu nudeći percepciji različite puteve. Koriste i tekstove 30-ak autora iz cijelog svijeta koji su oblikovani u fragmentarnoj dramaturškoj cjelini istražujući u izvedbi granice između etera i teatra. Hoerspiel je premijerno izvedena u studenom 2013. Ove godine stvarno s pozornošću morate pratiti naše objave, jer izmjene su postale naša svakodnevica. Današnje programe prisiljeni smo premjestiti u zamjenske, zatvorene prostore. Tako će promocija 34. Osječkog zbornika biti održana u Atriju Arheološkog muzeja, s početkom u planiranih 19 sati. Početak je nepromijenjen, 21 sat. Riječ je o djelu Gordane Gadžić koja je nastojala stvoriti živ i dinamičan skup glasova kako bi Ivicu Vidovića dočarala sa svim njegovim kompleksnostima i proturječnostima. Jednaka pozornost posvećena je kazalištu, filmu i televiziji i to ne samo na hrvatskom već na cjelokupnom kulturnom prostoru bivše Jugoslavije. Njegove ključne uloge predstavljene su raskošno, tekstualno i fotografski, kroz eseje, kritike, komentare publike, intervjue, memorabilije, a minuciozno i predano je prikupljena i zabilježena ukupno 221 uloga tog velikana hrvatskog glumišta. O monografiji će, u sklopu osječke promocije, govoriti autorica, te Renata Kapicl i Davor Špišić. Promocija će biti održana u svečanom foyeru HNK u Osijeku, s početkom u 18 sati. Dvoje Svakodnevno pijemo u café-barovima, ručamo u restoranima sjedeći pokraj nama nepoznatih ljudi o kojima ništa ne znamo i za koje nas nije briga kao, uostalom, ni njih za nas. I tako tisuće sudbina prolazi pokraj nas, a koje jedva da primjećujemo. Dvoje je priča o životu. Ili, bolje, priča iz života. Nekad veseli, a nekad tužni. Kao što život i jest. Kazalište je mjesto susreta nas koji se u životu uglavnom bavimo sobom ne primjećujući previše oko sebe, mjesto gdje nas upaljeni reflektori podsjete na one koji tako često ostanu na marginama naše pažnje. Dvoje je kazališna avantura dvoje vrsnih glumaca i njihovih 14 uloga utopljenih u žamor cafébarova, zvuk džuboksa, dim cigareta, a sve uz zavodljivi zvuk saksofona. Oni su Bojana Gregorić Vejzović i Dražen Čuček, mjesto Barutana, a s obzirom da znamo koliko volite Teatar Exit osigurali smo dvije izvedbe — prva je u 20 sati i 30 minuta, druga u 22 i 30. Na promociji će govorit sam autor, te Ana-Marija Koljanin i Igor Loinjak. Ipak, kako bismo vam omogućili da uživate i u nogometu i u kulturi, početak promocije pomaknuli smo na 18 sati, u Muzeju likovnih umjetnosti. Idemo se malo bolje upoznati i to na najbolji mogući način — kroz kazališnu predstavu. NE MEĐUSOBNO, VEĆ SAME SEBE. Ideja za predstavu potekla je iz Facebook statusa Ide Jurjević koja je u svojoj cvjećarni bilježila crtice iz života, vrlo često uparene promišljanjima o literaturi koju je u tom trenutku proučavala. Za potrebe predstave, materijal je proširen drugim dokumentarnim izvorima autobiografskim, upitnik na koji su odgovarale anonimne žene , a inspiracija za teme improvizacija proizašla je iz filozofije Simone Weil Težina i milost i teorije Camille Pagliae Seksualna lica. Autorice kažu kako je priroda žene specifično determinirana vremenom te da gledaju kako to utječe na različite segmente života. A autorice su redateljica Marina Pejnović, te glumice Mia Biondić, Nataša Kopeč i Ivana Krizmanić, uz već spomenutu Ivu Jurjević. Dođite nam u Barutanu, u 21 sat. S obzirom da prognostičari najavljuju kišno vrijeme, dio programa OLJK-a 2018. Početak ostaje predviđenih 20 sati. Ovoga puta od 4. Program Festivala slikovnice obuhvaća izložbe ilustracija renomiranih umjetnika, predstavljanja slikovnica, susrete s ilustratorima i piscima, radionice s umjetnicima, predstave, performanse i brojne druge sadržaje zanimljive, kako mladima, tako i odraslim posjetiteljima. Posjetiti ih možete u ova tri dana od 10 do 19 sati. Laurea Mundi Među ustanove i udruge s kojima Osječko ljeto kulture ima izvrsnu suradnju svakako valja ubrojiti i HPD Lipa. I ovoga Ljeta upotpunit će i obogatiti program svojim koncertom posvećenim obilježavanju novoga velikog međunarodnog uspjeha Društva, ostvarenoga na susretu svjetskih zborskih laureata 3. International Choral Celebration and Laurea Mundi, koji je u svibnju održan u Budimpešti. Podsjetimo, na tom velikom i važnom međunarodnom zborskom događaju lipašice i lipaši predstavili su se brojnoj publici na čak pet nastupa na različitim lokacijama u Budimpešti, uključujući i svečani koncert otvaranja Opening Concert. Posebno lijepo iznenađenje uslijedilo je na gala svečanosti zatvaranja, kada su organizatori i stručno povjerenstvo susreta, oduševljeni izvedbama, Lipi dodijelili titulu svjetskih zborskih laureata s najvišom pohvalom Laurea summa cum laude i medalju za izvrstan umjetnički doseg. Zbog svega navedenoga nastup na OLJK-u nosi prigodan naziv Laurea Mundi, a njegov program čine pjesme koje je Lipa u različitim prigodama izvodila tijekom boravka u Budimpešti. Na koncertu će lipašice i lipaši, a cappella ili uz pratnju nekoliko instrumenata otpjevati 15-ak raznovrsnih i stilski različitih skladbi domaćih i inozemnih skladatelja. Zborom će, naravno, ravnati dugogodišnja dirigentica prof. Valerija Fischbach, a program je pripremljen u suradnji s kodirigenticama, prof. Ozanom Tomić i prof. Koncert će biti održan u atriju Arheološkog muzeja, s početkom u 20 sati i 30 minuta. Iako ima četiri programa. Oko — street art Marina Mesar, multidisciplinarna umjetnica koja stvara pod pseudonimom OKO, jedna od trenutačno najuspješnijih domaćih artistica čiji radovi krase kako ulice, tako i zidove nekih od najozbiljnijih galerija i muzeja brojnih svjetskih metropola, dolazi u naš grad. Ima 36 godina, i kako sama kaže nema nekretnine ni auto, putuje, upoznaje ljude, tetovira se, slika, skejta. Kaže kako je povjesničari umjetnosti često pitaju je li street art, pop art, ilustrator ili whatever? Jer osim što izrađuje murale i lijepi paste-upove po zgradama, oslikava i platna, izrađuje skulpture i, primjerice, bavi se fotografijom. OKO će u dva dana gostovanja u Galeriji Kazamat održavati predavanja, ali i radionice. Radionice su predviđene za 30-ak osoba. Picasso u Osijeku Zahvaljujući više no prijateljskim odnosima grada Osijeka i Novog Sada, OLJK 2018 bogatiji je za izvrsnu izložbu. Srednjoeuropski kulturni centar Novog Sada donosi nam u Osijek 40 grafika slavnog Pabla Picassa iz tri njegove edicije — Dupla flauta, Flora i fauna te Eluardova mapa. Izložba će biti otvorena u 19 sati u Kulturnom centru. Početak je u 20 sati i 30 minuta. Do prošle godine, kada je vinkovačko Gradsko kazalište koje nosi njegovo ime u koprodukciji s Hrvatskim kazalištem u Pečuhu odlučilo vratiti ga na kazališne daske. Okosnicu radnje čine ljubavne zgode i nezgode začinjene elementima komedije karaktera i zabune. Režija Vrzinog kola povjerena je Vjekoslavu Jankoviću, kostimografiju, scenografiju i video projekcije potpisuje Saša Došen, glazbu Igor Valeri, koreografiju Danijel Šota, scenski pokret Petra Blašković dok je video materijale snimio Davor Šarić. Ova ljubavna komedija u četiri čina bit će odigrana u dvorištu Rektorata s početkom u 21 sat i 30 minuta. Već su slijedeće godine časopis i natječaj dobili međunarodni karakter te se 22 godine odvijaju u kontinuitetu. Natječaj dobiva naziv Međunarodni konkurs revije Likovni svet u kojem je do sada sudjelovalo oko 130. Kao privatni natječaj, jedini je ovakve vrste na svijetu, a časopis Likovni svet je jedini časopis u Sloveniji koji obrađuje međunarodne likovne natječaje, likovne izložbe mladih i izložbe akademsko obrazovanih autora. Za svoj rad na povezivanju država na području likovne kulture i za promociju likovne kreativnosti i kulture mladih primio više stranih priznanja. Do sada je organizirao 266 izložbi u 34 države svijeta. Izložba će biti otvorena u 19 sati u prosotru Gradske i sveučilišne knjižnice. Zbor muzičke akademije u Krakowu Na poziv počasnog hrvatskog konzula u Krakovu, Pawela Wlodarczyka, predstavnici osječke Umjetničke akademije održali niz sastanaka koji su rezultirali dogovorom zajedničkih koncerata, sudjelovanja na radionicama, realizacijom parka u Krakovu pod nazivom Mala Hrvatska, kao i drugim oblicima suradnje. Posjetili su Muzičku akademiju i održali radni sastanak s rektorom, prof. Stanislawom Krawczynskim, a kao plod tih dogovora realizira se i koncert u sklopu Osječkog ljeta kulture koji će biti održan u Crkvi sv. Križa s početkom u 20 sati. Dok jedni žele promjene drugi pokušavaju argumentirano upozoriti zašto one nisu moguće. Rastrgnuti obiteljskim tajnama, nerealiziranim ljubavima, ratnim ožiljcima i viškom majčinske ljubavi, oni tek mogu proizvesti neverin u lokvi vlastite nepomičnosti. Istovremeno, to je predstava okupljena oko jedne simboličke niti — bliskosti i ljubavi među braćom i sestrama, u kojoj nema mjesta za velike dramske obrate. Možda tek za koju čašicu žuči i meda. Suvereno i autorsko tretiranje glumačkog materijala izazov je s kojim se glumci uzbudljivo i uspješno nose te je, zahvaljujući načinu njihove igre, svaka izvedba nova, drukčija i jedinstvena. Gužva u 16-ercu Za sam kraj programa 4. Nedavno su proslavili 25 godina postojanja koncertoom kod Školjke, pa ako ste ga propustili, ili vam nije bilo dosta, pozivamo vas u dvorište Rektorata od 22 sata. Početak je, zbog utakmice SP Hrvatska-Danska, pomaknut na 22 sata. Dječji muški zbor Mukachevo: Dječji muški zbor Mukachevo osnovan je 1983. Volodymyr Volontyr voditelj je i organizator zbora i zborske škole. Osim što je 'počasni umjetnički radnik Ukrajine', član je i Nacionalnog saveza skladatelja Ukrajine, stalni voditelj umjetničkog zbora te direktor zborske škole. Oksana Volontyr obnaša ulogu zborovođe od samih početaka. Grupa je predstavila umijeće zborskog pjevanja u 20 europskih zemalja, pritom osvojivši brojne nagrade na ukrajinskim i internacionalnim natjecanjima. Koncertni program zbora uključuje djela ukrajinskih klasičara D. Stezenko , djela zapadnoeuropskih klasičara D. Koday , djela ukrajinskih i inozemnih modernih skladatelja i ukrajinske narodne pjesme u adaptaciji autora. Koncert će biti održan u Crkvi sv. Križa s početkom u 19 sati. Predstava opisuje predstavnike i način života mlade generacije u Osijeku od šezdesetih do kraja osamdesetih godina, a radnja se odvija na najpoznatijim mjestima grada Osijeka. Posebno obilježje predstave je jezik, tj. Jer nigdje nitko ne ide na slamboš ili piju osim Osječana. Predstava je na rasporedu u dvorištu Hotela Central, s početkom u 22 sata. Lokacija ista — kod Secesijskog zdenca. Bliži nam se početak ljeta, a kakav bi to početak ljeta bio da ga ne obilježi Osječko ljeto kulture. I ove godine naše druženje počinje 29. U dvotjednoj manifestaciji planirano je 48 visokokvalitetnih programa iz područja kazališne, glazbene i koncertne, likovne, književne, plesne, filmske i novomedijske umjetnosti. Programi će biti izvođeni na više od 20 lokacija, što novih poput dvorišta Hotela Central što starih i dobro poznatih. Susretat ćemo se u dvorištima Rektorata, Prehrambeno-tehnološkog fakulteta i III. Gimnazije, u dvorani Gradski vrt, Školjki, Barutani, Lapidariju Muzeja Slavonije Osijek, ali i Atriju zgrade Glavne straže, Muzeju likovnih umjetnosti Osijek, Galeriji Waldinger, Kulturnom centru Eurodoma, GISKO-u, kod Vodenih vrata, Secesijskog zdenca i na brojnim drugim lokacijama. Osječko ljeto kulture 2018. I to je sve što ćemo danas otkriti, jer već od sutra počet ćemo vam polako otkrivati program OLJK-a 2018. Kao i svih proteklih godina cilj je ove manifestacije zadovoljenje kulturnih potreba Osječana i građana svih gradova regije i šire. Proteklih godina, programe Osječkog ljeta kulture pratilo je u prosjeku 11 tisuća gledatelja i to nam je jedan od najvažnijih pokazatelja da dobro radimo svoj posao.

*How to be Gay in Croatian: Slavonia, - Stvarne djevojke
Istraline travel agency
Click here: *How to be Gay in Croatian: Slavonia,
Retrieved 18 June 2012. Croatian Coat of Arms from the 19th century, kept in the Museum of the City of Zagreb. Zagreb Pride supports any LGBTIQ effort and will provide help and assistance in order to organize Prides throughout Croatia as well as in other countries of Eastern and South-eastern Europe.
In case of a dissolution of a life partnership, the partner who is not the biological parent can maintain a personal relationship with the child provided the court decides it is in the child's best interest. As tensions rose, Croatia in June 1991; however the declaration came into effect on 8 October 1991. Demographics Geographic map of Slavonia According to the 2011 census, the total population of the five counties of Slavonia was 806,192, accounting for 19% of population of Croatia.
Croatia Naturalism - So why not visit , the most eastern place in Croatia which also happens to be the wine epicenter of the country. Under socialism, women were encouraged to join the workforce.
Historical references to Croats in the Holy Roman Empire date back to the ninth century. These regions are characterized by differences in geography, traditional economy, food, folkloric tradition, and dialect. Croats share an overall sense of national culture; people often feel strongly about regional identities and local cultural variations, particularly food and language. A small percentage of non-Croat groups identify with a different culture. Serbs usually identify with Serbian culture. Slovenes, Muslims, Jews, Albanians, and Roma Gypsies generally identify with their own national groups and cultures. In two cases non-Croats constitute a significant minority in a local population and have maintained group identities as non-Croats. In Istria, an Italian minority prefer the Italian language, and identify strongly with Italian culture. In Slavonia, along the Hungarian border, ethnic Hungarians Magyars prefer the Hungarian language and identify with Hungarian culture. This is not generally true of non-Croat and non-Slav populations in other regions, such as Italians in Dalmatia and Hungarians in Zagreb. Before the recent war 1991—1995 , there was a large Serb population in the region known as the Military Frontier Vojna Krajina who did not identify with Croatian culture. As tensions built between Croats and Serbs in the late 1980s, Krajina Serbs began to express animosity toward the Croatian culture and language. In 1991, Croatia lost political control of this region and 30 percent of its land ; in 1995, it regained legal and political control. In 1997, when the region was restored to Croatian administration, most Krajina Serbs left for Serbia, where many now live as refugees. The Roman Catholics of Herzegovina identify with the Croatian national culture. Herzegovinans generally believe that they should be part of Croatia, not linked to Bosnia. Croats in the diaspora are represented in the national parliament. Croatia was one of the six republics of the former Yugoslavia. It shares borders with Italy, Slovenia, and Hungary to the north and with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to the east and south. Croats think of themselves as more closely linked with Austria than with the other territories and cultures of the former Yugoslavia. They do not refer to themselves as a Balkan country but as a European one. Croatia occupies approximately 21,825 square miles 56,540 square kilometers. The region along the Adriatic coast has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot, dry summers. The inland region has a continental climate with very cold winters, hot, humid summers, and spring and autumn seasons that are often rainy. Seventy percent of the land is farmland. The largest portion of the country consists of the Pannonian plain, a flat, fertile agricultural region that extends into Hungary and Serbia. The Drava and Sava rivers drain into the plain, making it an excellent region for agriculture. Cultural variations, particularly regional cuisine, are related to geographic variations within the country; traditional economies are also linked to geography. The capital, Zagreb, is centrally located but was not chosen for that reason. It is the largest city, and historically the political, commercial, and intellectual center. The population was approximately 5 million in 2000. Croats make up 78 percent of the population and are the dominant ethnic group. Serbs account for 12 percent, and the remaining 10 percent includes Bosnians, Hungarians, and Slovenes as well as a very small number of Jews and Kosova Albanians. The religious makeup of the nation reflects this ethnic breakdown. Roman Catholics constitute 77 percent of the population; Serbian Orthodox, 11 percent; and Muslims, 1 percent. The Serb population has decreased since Croatian independence from Yugoslavia and the war that began in 1991. In 1981, Serbs accounted for approximately 17 percent of the population. From 1945 to 1991, the official language was Serbo-Croatian. Even under socialism, Croats often referred to their language as Croato-Serbian instead of Serbo-Croatian or as Croatian. Croatian and Serbian variants of the language were always recognized as different dialects, and had different alphabets. Since independence, Croatian and Serbian have been declared separate languages. The government has been working to establish an official Croatian language, resurrecting vocabulary that fell out of general usage under socialism. Croatian and related Southern Slav languages are modern versions of the languages of the Slavic peoples who moved into the lands of the former Yugoslavia around 500 C. Today, language is an important part of personal and group identity, but historically the Croatian language was not always spoken by a majority of Croats. Under the Hapsburgs, urban Croats spoke German, and Latin was the official language of government. A national reawakening in the nineteenth century focused on the establishment of a national language. The dialects reflect not only regional variation but contact with and domination by different peoples. Thus, Istrians speak a Croatian influenced by Italian, while the people of Zagreb speak a Croatian strongly influenced by German. Regional dialects, such as Dalmatian, are sometimes regarded as provincial or indicative of less education and exposure to high culture. There is a counter tendency, however, to regard the regional dialects as more authentic forms of Croatian than those spoken by urban, cosmopolitan populations. The newly independent state has had to recreate a national culture by drawing from history and folk culture. In this sense, Croatia is an imagined community. Croats use the metaphor of a single related people with shared blood to describe themselves as a nationality. Religion is probably the most powerful symbol of national identity today. Most Croats consider themselves Roman Catholic whether they practice their religion or not. Language and history are also important symbols of identity. Croat language and its regional dialects are much spoken of by Croats themselves. Feelings about ancient ties to a territory and a direct link to the independent Kingdom of Croatia are part of the modern Croatian national identity. The most important national symbol is the flag, which has three bands of color: red on top, white in the middle, and blue on the bottom. This flag was first used in 1848 under Austro-Hungarian rule. Under socialism, a red star was added in the center. The present-day flag has a coat of arms in the center that includes a symbol of each of the five parts of the country on top of a red and white chessboard shield. The chessboard dates to the Middle Ages but was also used by Croatian fascists Ustasha during World War II. Serbs saw the resurrection of this symbol as provocation. In the nineteenth century, Croats rediscovered their folk traditions. Folk songs, folk dances, and village customs were taken as symbols of national pride. This interest in village culture went along with a quest for a stronger national identity under Hapsburg rule. Rural people were romanticized and taken to represent the soul of the country and the character of particular regions. These folk traditions were appropriated and modified by the middle classes in the nineteenth century and celebrated as well under socialism. Two prominent figures are King Tomislav, the first king, and Ban Josip Jelacic, a noble military leader under Austro-Hungarian rule. Foods, both national and regional, and language are important symbols of national and regional identity. History and Ethnic Relations Emergence of the Nation. Croats as a people and a country trace their history to the medieval Kingdom of Croats. Through much of their history, Croats were ruled by another political body, but there were movements to establish national recognition or independence. Slavic peoples migrated into the Balkans and along the Dalmatian coast in the sixth century. They displaced or absorbed the Illyrians, who may be the ancestors of modern Albanians. These Slavs encountered other nomadic peoples, primarily from the Middle East, including the Avars, Alans, and Antes. The mixture of these peoples produced the southern Slavs. The various southern Slavs remained disparate tribal groups with no clear identity as Croats or Serbs until the ninth century. The Kingdom of Croatia had been established by the tenth century. In 1102, the Croats came under Hungarian rule. Croatia agreed to follow the king of Hungary but retained its own governmental body, the Sabor, and its own governor, or Ban. Through the years of Hungarian rule, the relationship shifted back and forth from more or less equal partners in Agriculture is still the most important industry in Croatia. Since the twelfth century, Croatia has been largely under the domination of others. The Ottoman Empire took a portion of the country for approximately 100 years, after the mid-sixteenth century. Croatia then asked the Austrian Hapsburgs for help against the Turks. This may have been the start of a Croatian preference for the Austrians and dislike for the Hungarians. The Hapsburgs established the Military Frontier creating a buffer zone between Croatia and Austria to the north, and the Ottoman empire to the south. It also created a large pocket of non-Croat people within Croat lands. Orthodox Slavs who fled Bosnia were moved into the Military Frontier to serve as resident soldiers and were given free title to land. Croatia remained under Hapsburg rule until the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when Napoleon conquered Croatia in 1809. The so-called Illyrian Empire lasted until the fall of Napoleon, and Croatia returned to Austro-Hungarian rule. In 1840 a Croatian National Party was formed. Croats began to search for a national identity, including a Croatian language, literature, and history. After World War I, Croatia joined other southern Slavs in the first Yugoslavia. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was born out of the Treaty of Versailles. At first, Croats welcomed the union but soon resented the Serbian monarch and the fact that the seat of government was in Belgrade, the Serbian capital. In 1928, the Ustasha Party was formed with the goal of winning independence. Italy and Germany supported this movement and its terrorist activities. In 1941, when the Axis powers occupied Yugoslavia, the Ustasha Party became the ruling faction in the Independent State of Croatia NDH. It is not clear, however, that a majority of Croats supported or identified with the Ustasha Party. Modern Croats generally disclaim association with the NDH. Fascist Croatia was responsible for the extermination of Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies. During World War II, there was also a war in the Yugoslav territories for internal control of the region By then the first Yuboslavia had come apart. Josip Broz Tito was the leader of the Partisans; he was born and raised in Croatia. Many Croats joined the Partisans. Modern Croats claim they were the dominant national group in the Partisan army, though Serbs and Bosnians make the same claim. Under socialism, a Yugoslav identity was promoted and nationalism was suppressed. Singing Croatian songs said to be nationalistic could lead to a jail term. It was led by important Croatian communists and was based on economic disagreement with the Serb elite in Belgrade. Economic and political problems escalated after Tito died. Some of the socialist leaders recast themselves as nationalist leaders. Croats began to express resentment against the Yugoslav government and the favoritism they believed Serbs received in government jobs. Many believed themselves to be economically superior and able to stand alone. Economically, the entire country was in a crisis, but Slovenia and Croatia had some advantages, including proximity to western Europe and a tourist industry on the Dalmatian coast. The first free elections were held in Slovenia and Croatia in 1990. The Croatian Democratic Union HDZ was formed, and Franjo Tudjman, a former communist and nationalist, rose to power. In the late 1980s tension began to build between Croats and Serbs in the former Yugoslavia. Violent incidents began to erupt in Croatia in February 1991. Croatia declared independence from socialist Yugoslavia in 1991. War broke out in 1991 with Yugoslav National Army JNA. At the end of 1991 there was full-scale war in Croatia. The war was between the Serbs, in what had been the Republic of Serbia in the former Yugoslavia, and Croats in the newly independent Croatia. The reasons for the war are very complex. Very simply, while Croatia wanted to separate from Yugoslavia, Serbs were largely unwilling to allow this to happen, probably largely for economic reasons. The first president of the new democratic Croatia, Franjo Tudjman, died in 1999. The HDZ no longer controls the parliament, and young people feel that the country is becoming a democratic and modern European nation. Urbanism, Architecture, and the Use of Space Architecture reflects the influence of the bordering nations. Austrian and Hungarian influences are visible in public space and buildings in the north and central regions. Large squares named for culture heroes, well-groomed parks, and pedestrian-only zones, are features of these orderly towns and cities. Above-ground trams provide excellent transportation. Muted colors prevail, especially tones of yellow and gold. Zagreb, the largest and most important city, includes an upper city Gornji Grad and a lower city Kaptol. The heart of the city is the Square of Ban Jelacic. In 1848, the Austrian government presented Jelacic with a bronze statue of himself that was placed in this central square. Croatian names for streets and squares were often replaced with socialist names after 1945, only to be returned to their original names in 1991. The University of Zagreb was established in 1669. Its faculties are spread around the central portion of the city. Important public buildings include the Sabor as well as ministries, embassies, and government offices. One of the most important public buildings is the Gothic cathedral of Saint Stefan. Inside the cathedral, there is a carved stone inscription in Glagolithic, the alphabet first used in Croatia. The Dolac is the large central farmer's market. Perhaps the most important public place in daily life is the café, and in Zagreb there are many. People rarely meet in their homes, which are small and crowded. When visitors do enter a private home, they are usually invited only into a parlor or living room area, or the kitchen. Whether in a café or a home, people generally socialize around a table. In public spaces, people maintain privacy by avoiding conversation or using formal terms of address. In the suburbs beyond the older, central section of Zagreb, there are apartment buildings and a smaller open market. There is almost always a Catholic church. The most remote suburbs of New Zagreb have high-rise Soviet-style apartment blocks. The rural areas of Zagorija and Slavonia still have some traditional houses that are mostly built of brick or stone. In cities, houses are built right up to the street. An inner courtyard sometimes provides space for a small garden. Modern houses in cities and villages usually have two or three stories with masonry and stucco. Many people build their own houses, beginning with a simple bedroom—living Photos decorate a family grave within a cemetery on the island of Susak. It is common in Croatia to decorate graves with candles, flowers, and photos. Along the coast, the architecture is Mediterranean. Houses usually are made of stucco and painted white, and have red tile roofs. Cities and towns still have the characteristic open markets, squares, and Catholic churches, but are less likely to be laid out in a neat grid. Food and Economy Food in Daily Life. The main meal of the day is a late lunch. In the north and inland, the majority of the foods has an Austrian or Hungarian flavor. A typical lunch includes chicken or beef soup, cooked meat often pork , potatoes, and bread. Greens with vinegar and oil are served in the spring and summer, and pickled vegetables in the winter. Along the coast, a meal usually includes fish and pasta, risotto, or polenta. Lamb is common in the Dalmatian highland region. Breakfast is simple, usually consisting of strong coffee and bread with jam. The traditional dinner typically consists of leftovers from lunch, cold meats, and cheese with bread. People usually eat in their own homes, although they also eat snacks on the streets. Restaurants are usually very formal and expensive. A variety of fast foods are available, including foods typical of ethnic minorities. While people rarely eat in restaurants, almost everyone has coffee in cafés on a regular basis. Food Customs at Ceremonial Occasions. For holidays or special occasions, there are larger quantities of food, particularly meat. Roast pork with the skin pecenka is popular in Zagreb and Slavonia. Special cakes are also prepared. Fried cheese, octopus salad, spicy grilled meats, and dishes made with phyllo reflect different cultural influences. Large quantities of alcohol are part of any celebration. In Slavonia, this is usually a plum brandy; in Zagreb and on the coast, grape or herb brandies are popular. Whenever people get together, they usually drink together. Strong Turkish-style coffee and espresso are important symbols of hospitality. Men usually are offered an alcoholic drink. People no longer produce food primarily for their own consumption; although, during the war from 1991 to 1995 people depended on kitchen gardens and subsistence fishing, particularly on the coast. Agriculture, however, remains an important industry. Steel manufacture, chemical production, and oil refineries are also important, as are textiles, shipbuilding, and food processing. Children play in the ruins of a building. The war for Croatian independence that lasted from 1991 to 1995 took a heavy toll on the country. Tourism, which was the major industry on the coast until 1991, is again important. Croatia depends on imported goods and the revenue from exports. Land Tenure and Property. Since the end of socialism, the country has been in the process of transferring property to private ownership. There have been difficulties in the cases of apartments and houses that were confiscated under socialism, and have been occupied for many years by families other than the original owners. The inhabitants of government-owned apartments have been given opportunities to buy their homes. The transformation of industries from government to private ownership is largely complete. Division of labor in the workplace is based largely on skill and educational level. Individuals whose families are professional are likely to enter the professions, while working-class families largely produce working-class children. Under socialism, family connections could help one achieve a position. This was consistent with the national culture and was not necessarily a product of socialism. Communist Party membership increased one's potential for good employment. It is not uncommon for people to retire to help care for a grandchild, while younger men and women continue to work after becoming parents. Social Stratification Classes and Castes. An unofficial class system is based on one's family name and professional status rather than wealth. Communist Party membership challenged this class system, although it was not uncommon for prominent families to join the party. In more recent years, Croats increasingly became discontented with the socialist government, particularly people who were well educated, professional, and from prominent families. Symbols of Social Stratification. Economic indicators of high social status include style of dress, material wealth such as a house or apartment in a city, an automobile, a vacation house, and international travel. Less obvious indicators are educational level and occupation. Most high-status individuals speak English well and are likely to speak one other European language. Dialect is also an indicator of social status. People from a city have higher status than people from villages, though many urban dwellers have village family connections. High-status individuals are usually Croats. They may be of mixed ethnicity but are members of a predominantly Croatian family. Jewish families are likely to be of relatively high status. Ethnic Albanians are usually at the bottom of the social system, and Gypsies are completely outside it. Croatia is a democratic republic with a parliamentary government based on a constitution established in 1990. The parliament Sabor has a House of Representatives and a House of Counties. The latter is advisory only and has equal representation from every region. Seats are set aside in the House of Representatives for ethnic minorities and Croats in the diaspora. Representatives are elected for four-year terms. Leadership and Political Officials. The president of the republic is elected for a five-year term and may only serve two consecutive terms. There is also a prime minister. There are thirteen parties with representatives in the government. The dominant party since 1991 has been the HDZ. Some of the smaller parties formed a coalition and won the elections after Tudjman's death. Social Problems and Control. Since the war of 1991—1995, there is increased crime, particularly of a petty nature. There are more beggars visible on the streets. Most of the individuals are people who are displaced or refugees, or otherwise left out of the current system as a result of war and political change. Some elderly people, for example, had pensions that were paid in another of the republics of the former Yugoslavia. Others who had money in banks outside Croatia may have lost their savings. For the most part, however, people are coping with the help of family. Croatia and non-governmental organizations provide some safety net for refugees. In the former Yugoslavia, all men were required to serve one year of military duty, either right after high school, or if they went on to university, during or at the end of their university education. Usually people served their military duty in a republic other than the one in which they were born and lived. Beginning in 1983, women could voluntarily join the military. The new Croatian Army grew out of a para-military established originally as Croatia began to feel threatened and vulnerable before the outbreak of war in 1991. As tensions built in the former Yugoslavia, Croats began to refuse to serve in the Yugoslav Army. During the war, all young men were expected to register for military service. Generally men from the same village or locality served together during the war, even though this meant that a village could lose a number of its young men in one battle. Because the different sides spoke the same language more or less , and dressed more or less the same, regional dialects, and actually knowing one's comrades in arms became important. In the new state of Croatia, young men are now required once again to register for a year of military duty. Nongovernmental Organizations and Other Associations Many nongovernmental organizations NGOs came to the country during and just after the Serb-Croat war 1991—1995. They included international relief organizations such as the International Red Cross, church-based organizations such as Catholic Relief Services and Caritas Care , and other private voluntary groups, including Doctors without Borders. Some of these groups attempted to address problems in Croatia, while others used Croatia as a base of operations to carry out work in Bosnia. United Nations peacekeeping forces were a visible presence just after the war. Gender Roles and Statuses Division of Labor by Gender. Traditionally, a loose division of labor allocates housework and child care to women and outside work to men. But women have long been part of the labor force. Before socialism, rural women worked alongside men in fields and on the farm. They also prepared meals and processed food for storage, kept the house, did laundry, and minded the children. Under socialism, women were encouraged to join the workforce. Today, most women expect to have a job or career. When women work for wages, men share some of the duties at home. Grandfathers traditionally spend time with grandchildren, and fathers take a fairly active role in raising children. Men are less likely to clean, do laundry, cook, and to think of domestic work or child care as their responsibility. The Relative Status of Women and Men. Croatia is portrayed as a patriarchal society, but women have fairly equal status with men. Men enjoy more privileges and have a higher status and many families prefer sons to daughters. Women are represented in most professions, politics, and the arts and are not likely to take a secondary role in public life. Women are as likely as men to pursue higher education. Status differences are as marked between older and younger people, and between professional or working-class individuals, as they are between the genders. Gender differences are more pronounced among farmers and the working classes than among professionals. Marriage, Family, and Kinship Marriage. Couples arrange their own marriages. Young people usually meet in school, through friends, or at work. They often begin to spend time together in the company of a larger group of friends. A young man and woman usually have a serious relationship before they meet each other's families. Individuals theoretically have a great deal of choice about marriage partners, but Croats tend to marry people of the same nationality and religion and with the same educational level and social status. Most men and women marry in their early 20s. Monogamous marriage is the rule. Divorce is increasingly common, although it is still considered undesirable. Pregnancy before marriage is not uncommon, but is not usually the sole reason for getting married. In the past, three-generation households were the norm. A married couple usually lived with the husband's parents. Today young people are ambivalent about living with their parents or grandparents after marriage. There is still a cultural preference for extended families, but young people tend to want privacy. Young married couples usually live with one set of parents or a grandparent because of a shortage of housing. There is also a preference for keeping small children in the care of resident grandparents and for caring for the elderly at home. Young children are often placed in day care or kindergarten. Increasingly, elderly people spend some time in a nursing home, which usually creates a huge financial burden for their families. The most important property passed from one generation to another is a house or apartment. Usually one child in a family inherits a residence, which he or she occupies. Family wealth, however, ideally is distributed equally among all the sons and daughters. In the past only sons inherited, and in some regions, only eldest sons. Daughters usually were given a dowry; in rare cases, this might include some land. Croats practice bilateral kinship. In principle they favor the father's side of the family. Couples traditionally resided with the husband's parents after marriage, and were expected to have more to do with the husband and father's relatives. Traditional kinship terms reflect this, with different terms for the husband's parents and the wife's parents, and for the two mothers-in-law. In practice, however, many families have resided with or near the wife's parents. Whether a couple live with or are closer to one set of parents or another depends to some extent on personal preference, and also on economic matters who has room in their house for the couple, who is likely to leave a house or apartment to the couple. Infants are cared for at home, primarily by the mother. They usually are swaddled tightly in blankets when they are very small. As toddlers, they are dressed in multiple layers of clothing to protect them against the cold. Infants stay close to their caretakers, usually sleeping with their parents or in the same room. They often are breast fed, although bottle feeding is not uncommon. Women do not breast feed in any public settings. Infants and toddlers are supervised very closely and are not encouraged to explore or move about on their own. Mothers or other adult caretakers feed children, dress them, and perform routine physical care well into the young childhood years. Child Rearing and Education. Family members are the preferred caretakers for children. Young children are placed in day care when they are not taken care of by their parents or grandparents. Kindergartens A man sits among the ruins of Vukovar, destroyed by fighting in 1991. The four-year struggle between Croats and Serbs destroyed many cities. Children begin their formal public education at age seven. There are now private kindergartens, mostly run by the Catholic Church. Croats do not use nannies or unrelated babysitters. Children are verbally corrected for misbehavior. Spanking is not common now, especially among urban professional people. Good children obey their parents and other adults, show respect for elders and property, play quietly, eat what adults prepare for them, and go to sleep at a regular bedtime. Children are less likely to act out physically than verbally. They do not bring other children home to play because homes are small and for the family and adult guests. Parents take responsibility for the behavior of children. Most adults see the personality or behavioral traits of an older relative in a child. People value higher education, although families that have been working class through the generations tend to expect their children to stay in that class. The University of Zagreb is the largest of the five universities. There are fifty one schools and colleges faculties associated with the universities. Zagreb has a central National and University Library, which all citizens may use. Individuals who do not attend university usually attend a secondary school to prepare for work. Secondary curricula include gymnasium college preparatory general education , technical education mechanical training , and specialized education bookkeeping or office skills. Etiquette People stand close to one another and talk loudly. Strangers stare openly at one another. Formality is maintained in language and behavior when people do not know each other well. Strangers nod their heads in passing. In stores, offices, and places of business, people use formal language for greetings and good-byes. Failure to greet someone in a context that requires a greeting and an overly familiar greeting are serious breaches of etiquette. People who are on friendly terms greet each other more informally and usually kiss on both cheeks. Men and women kiss, women and women kiss, and men kiss other men who are family members or very close associates. Young people are expected to offer the first greeting to older people, and women to men. For many people, Catholicism is a symbol of nationality even though they may not attend mass or participate in other religious activities or ceremonies. Most young people are baptized, and most marriages are conducted in a church. Other religions include Eastern or Serbian Orthodox, Islam, Judaism, and Protestantism. Since the war, there has been a more visible presence of Protestant missionaries, including members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints and Jehovah's Witness. There is some interest in Eastern religions, such as Buddhism, among young adults. Catholic priests and nuns are the most visible religious practitioners in Croatia. There are ministers of a few Protestant sects particularly the Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh Day Adventists , and religious leaders for some of the minority ethnic and religious communities. Likewise, there is evidence of some interest in non-Western religions, particularly in Zagreb. Zagreb has a restaurant run by Hari Krishnas, for example. Since Croatian independence, however, Catholicism is more visible and more significant in Croatian daily life. Rituals and Holy Places. Most families now observe Catholic rites of passage, including Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation and Marriage ceremonies in the Church. Funerals complete with a Funeral Mass are also important. Christmas and Easter are once again important national holidays, and are widely celebrated. Churches and cemeteries are important places in most peoples' lives. Many people have made pilgrimages to nearby Medjugorje in Herzegovina. This is a site where five young people claim to have seen repeated apparitions of the Virgin Mary, and where many people claim to have been cured of debilitating illnesses. Death and the Afterlife. Most Croats hold to a Roman Catholic vision of death and resurrection of the soul. Interestingly, all Saints' Day Day of the Dead is the only Catholic holiday that was celebrated by most of the ethnic groups in the former Yugoslavia. It is still a very important observance in Croatia. Families wash and prepare graves, and decorate them with candles, flowers and photographs. People often make several trips to graveyards during the days just before and after All Saints' Day. The Arts and Humanities Support for the Arts. The arts are generally well supported in Croatia, including literature, fine arts, graphic arts and performance arts. Folk art, music and dance are also important, and part of the Croatian national identity. In the former Yugoslavia, all these activities were supported directly by the state. This is no longer entirely true, although the state is still involved in support of the arts, and the general Croat population pays attention to and appreciates many forms of art.

Is it possible to establish personnal contact with someone who can give me a more detailed insight. Thanks for any help you can give me Simon Dear Sir or Madam, I incredibly enjoyed your article, it inspired me to use the information for my own project for the university project I would therefore like to inform you that I would really appreciate if I could use some of your images Hungarian refugees cross the Austrian border, November 1956 for my still captures in the project. Please e-mail me back if you do not want me to use your pictures. Regards Veronica This article is mostly very good and correct and such foreign objective articles are usualy rare for Croatia at present. In this sense, Croatia is an imagined community. What happened in the mid 19th and late 20th century was merely national awakening and forming our identity in modern western style. What is really great is that Croatian history and culture doesn't rely on myths and legend but instead we try to be maximally objective so we didn't have to recreate anything. What I'm trying to say is that Croatian culture wasn't invented in our national awakening ad in formation of independent state in 1991 but that was just culmination of a long and natural cultural and political process which ended in forming classical national identity like the one in Hungary, Portugal, Denmark or other such states. This was very informative. I am an American of Croatian background. Recently I visited Dubrovnik. While I was there I purchased a charm for a bracelet. It is round with small raised decorations like spikes on it. I was told it was a symbol of Dubrovnik, like folklore. They did not tell me what it represents. You could buy them in many jewelery stores. Can you tell me what it represents? Unlike many people who came to this site, I am not writting a report or doing a project. I am a teacher that has made many students do that though. I am greatful for this site because I have found more information about my mother's people. Her family imigrated from Croatia to Michigan in the U. They were farmers and very poor. I wish you had more pictures though. Unfortunately, the pictures on this site give a distorted view of what is Croatia today. In modern Croatia rural areas are being depopulized, urbanization is fast and agronomy is definately not the most important industry. The most important sector in Croatia is TOURISM which provides for the largest part of the state's budget. Croatia has a preserved coastline with beautiful nature and historical monuments. In 2009 about 11 million tourists visited the country. Please, change those gloomy black and white rural pictures for pictures that reflect Croatia's reality. I think your page reflects realities of Croatia as they were some 50 years ago. Hence, this article is of only historical significance. If Croats spoke English as their first language you couldn't see a difference between them and Irish or Scots for that matter. Yes they are passionate people, but from my experience with them very educated, open-minded and informed. As for industry, agriculture hasn't been main industry in Croatia since WW2, the main industry of modern Croatia is tourism, full stop. People are flocking there not only because of natural beauties but because of the way they are treated, which is only a testament to great people skills of Croatia's citizens. I agree with above poster, for the love of God, change the pictures, you are giving completely wrong impression. We had no need to invent anything, or to rely on myths instead of on historical facts. Some of the information in this article shows Croatia as it was in the 1950s. Congratulations on a very well put together expose about the life and times of Croatia and it's people. I am doing some research about Croatia in the 1950's and found some useful information within your writings. I wanted to ask you if you could give me some assistance in gathering some information regarding marriage requirements in Croatia, in particular Lisane Ostrovica in the early 1950's. I need to find out if there was an age of consent for two people to marry and if it was different for males and females. Also if the parties to be married were under any set age limit could their parents be authorised to consent to the marriage? I have been in contact with several different agencies within Croatia but unfortunately my English has produced a barrier to my explaining the information I am seeking. I do hope you respond and may either help me in some way or point me in a successful direction. Many thanks, Juls from Australia. Hy, my name is Tomislav and I live in Sibenik, Croatia. For example, my grandfather taught me to always be cooked a little more food, because you never know when someone in need may knock on your door. Here, just look at my hometown of Sibenik. The first city in the world with electric street lighting, thanks to the hydroelectric power plant, which was put into operation just two days after the one in New York. We were never big city or regional center and I'll refer to only some famous citizens of Sibenik. Drazen Petrovic, Maksim Mrvica, Goran Visnjic, Antun and Faust, Nicholas Tavelic, Vinko Maglica his family is from the island of Zlarin in the vicinity of Sibenik , Ante Šupuk... In a village near Sibenik grew up Ivan Mestrovic. Thank you very much for this very informative articles about your country. I really appreciate what you have written and it gave me more ideas and open my mind about a lot of things especially cultural values of your people. I met and have librarian friends from your country too. I am from the Philippines and majority of our people are with the Roman Catholics too. I have observed and seen some similarities with family closeness and kinship. We always take care of our old people meaning our grandparents and also when we became grandparents we always take care of our grandchildren. Again, thank you for taking the time to put this information with all the bibliographies that you have. Pulanco, Part-time professor, Central Philippine University Jaro, Iloilo City, Philippines.

U vezi je, po mojem misljenju, izgled manje vazan. Jedna zabluda o ljudima koji koriste besplatne stranice za upoznavanja ili plaćene usluge je da su to ljudi koji u stvarnom životu ne mogu naći partnera.
