Croatia

In Zagreb Croatia, a woman was discovered sitting on her armchair dead in her home in 2008. Neighbors last reported seeing her in 1966. That's 42 years! By the time they discovered her, she was naturally mummified!

There is no such language as Yugoslavian. Please specify: Bosnian, Macedonian, Croatian, Serbian, or Slovene

When Yugoslavia was splitting because of religion and ethnic groups, Sebia didn't want this to happen. So, Serbia started war with the 2 largest countries Bosnia - Hercigovina and Croatia.

The root of Serbian reluctance to accept the breakage of Yugoslav along the borders of its constituents lies in the century and half old program of making a greater Serbia on the territory of most of their south-Slav neighbors (The Plan by Ilia Garasanin, Serbs everywhere program by Vuk Stefanovic, Homogenous Serbia program by Stevan Moljevic, policy of Heavenly Serbia mission advocated by Serbian orthodox church, etc.) and the permanent indoctrination by its intellectual, military, political and clerical elites of Serbian people and other south-Slav orthodox. This program never accepted Tito's regime intra-Yugoslav republic borders as natural and historically based, also it proclaimed that all Serbs should live in one state. Also, it proclaimed that Croatians and Bosnian-Muslims are nothing but different kinds of Serbs who under some historical circumstances switched over time to other confessions and thus lost their memory of their actual origin ("Catholic Serbs" and "Muslim Serbs"). The myth was amplified by 40 years old deliberate propaganda of fear based on heavily increased the number of Serbs killed during WWII (especially those killed by so-called ustashe regime, Croatian Nazi puppet state) and constant stigmatization of Croats as genocidal, Kosovars as separatist, Bosnian-Muslims as historic traitors of Serbs, Macedonians as nothing but a "Vardar-Serbs", and so on. This all exploded several years after Josip Broz Tito died (just as Orson Wells predicted few years before) when Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts issued a proclamation on status of Serbian people, culture and language in Yugoslavia and with simultaneous rise of communist bureaucrat Slobodan Milosevic to the top ranks of Serbian communist party and Serbian state afterwards. The demands for keeping all Serbs in one state resurfaced, Yugoslav military reorganized its internal geographical governing model, mass meetings of first "pro-Yugoslavia" and little latter "pro-greater-Serbia" were organized throughout Yugoslavia, etc. And than came the fall of Berlin wall and collapse of Soviet Union, giving raise to democratic tendencies within Yugoslavia. First parliamentary elections took place in 1990, after which Slovenia and Croatia went on referendum about their independence (both of them with over 90% positive results favoring independence). After that a talks of all six presidents of Yugoslav republics took place discussing future internal organization of Yugoslavia (federation, confederation of states, or full independence); Slovenian and Croatian presidents suggested confederative organization, which was refuted by Milosevic and his Montenegrin ally, while Macedonian and Bosnian presidents were restrained. Than Serbian nationalists (supported by Serbian politicians and until that time heavily serbianized Yugoslav military) started blocking roads in Croatia (so called "chump revolution") and quickly after that declared separation of bordering region of Croatia (they used part of historical name for military border, that is "vojna krajina") to form separate "republic" on territory of Croatia, called "Republika Srpska Krajina". That all spurred the intensity of conflict between Croatian police, Serb nationalists from Croatia, and in the end Yugoslav military backing those Serbian militants. Not long after that a full-blown war erupted in Croatia, and than using the same scenario (proclamation of first alliance of so called historical Serbian municipalities in Bosnia, which afterwards became "Republika Srbska") in Bosnia, with much bigger intensity and consequences. From 1991 to 1994 (and in Bosnia until 1995) Serbian military and paramilitaries expelled almost all non-Serbs from the territories they occupied (massive ethnic cleansing), using all kinds of atrocities, like mass rapes and murders, massacres of POWs and civilians, camps in Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia and planned and executed even complete ethnocide (like the one in Bosnian town of Srebrenica in 1995; UN protected zone at the time) and all that in front of international UN peacekeepers. Until U.S. stepped in with its political decisiveness backed by its military power nothing changed on the ground; they first started turning their blind eye to unjust Britain-sponsored (and latter on imposed by the UN) arms embargo hurting predominantly initially mostly unarmed Croats and Bosnian-Muslims, after that they helped Croatia organize its military (by various paid for education programs held by retired U.S. military officers) and in the end by introducing no-fly-zone over Bosnia. Faith of Srebrenica aimed by the leaders of Bosnian Serbs for Bosnian town of Bihac (in western Bosnia, near the Croatian border) and the dream of ethnically cleansed great Serbia (on the territory of Croatia at least) was ended in spring and summer 1995 by two swift actions of until that time well trained and equipped Croatian military (operations Flash and Storm). Nevertheless, the dream of Greater Serbia never dropped from the agenda of Serbian elites in all countries in South-eastern Europe, and given the recent policy of equalization of guilt and relativization of causes of the 90' SEE wars sponsored silently by Britain and the court in Hague, there unfortunately should be more bad news on this story to expect in the future.

The country of Croatia is a democratic parliamentary republic that is located in the Balkans region of Europe. It shares borders with Slovenia to the north, Hungary to the north and east, Serbia to the east and Bosnia and Herzegovina to the south and east. Croatia borders the Adriatic Sea on the west, with the Italian peninsula being on the other side of the Adriatic Sea.

Yes. Prices are usually marked in Euros and Kuna, the local currency, in stores, highway toll-booths, retaurants, etc. Someone like a street market vendor will also take Euros, US Dollars, whatever you have. But, if that vendor will give you change in Kuna, you're on your own to figure out what the exchange rate should be and make sure you're getting the correct change.

If your flight is direct, it will probably take up to 2.5 hours.

If you're unlucky enough to fly out of season or in your own arrangement, you'll probably have to change planes. The flight will still take about 2.5 hours, but the travel itself will take a tad bit longer, what with all the airport procedures, etc. ;)

Well My parents are from Croatia and I speak Croatian too and go their every summer. They use Kuna(s). If you are going there for summer vacation and live in America, on you're way back to America make sure to change your Kuna(s) into dollars in Croatia and not in America because you cant. 6 kunas is one dollar. (a little more) And lipa(s) are like cents in America. I hope I helped.

Croatia is in Europe. Find Italy, Austria and Hungary on a map of Europe and you will see it. If you looked in the gazeteer (index) of an atlas published since 1990, you will be directed to the page where it is mapped.

Croatia's Heritage Department says the following:

"Croatia, as a name of the country is derived from word "cratkia" which was first used in 702. Word "cratkia" meant short in old Slav language. Cratkia eventually became mistyped and word reordered. Finally, one day King Tomislav (first croatian king) decided the name would be Croaticum Totalirum which, translated from latin means, Croaticum Rule-all. " As time went by, people of western part of Croatia took name Histria, south took Damatica, north used Pannonia and south-east Herzegovina. In 1561. runes telling the story of Croatia were found as. Croaticam Populaere. Today known as Croatian Population. Republic Of Croatia is today sovereign country in the south-eastren party of Europe, which contains Adrian sea.

Croatia is not as expensive as other tourist destinations along the European Union Mediterranean area such as Italy, France or Spain. The capital city, Zagreb, is equally expensive for lodging and parking as any other EU capital. Food is still cheaper than elsewhere and better than most. Gas prices are regulated and cheaper than in the EU. Internal travel is still cheap (ferry, bus and rail). Permanent residence in Zagreb would be as expensive as in other EU capitals. Residence elsewhere in the country would be less. Residence along the coast -- where significant development has taken place -- can be as expensive as Italy, France or Spain.

Assuming you mean the Croatian War of Independence, the side who won was Croatia.

They never did.

Slovenia and Croatia declared independence from Yugoslavia first, which the Yugoslavia army opposed, starting a 8-day war in Slovenia and a war in Croatia lasting 2-3 years. Serbia didn't exist at the time. It was just a republic in Yugoslavia. Serbia became a proper country when all of the other republics of Yugoslavia had broken away and declared independence.

Croatian War of Independence happened in 1992.

As of 2006[update], there are a total of 127 officially registered cities in Croatia
