You have come to a town, in which everybody is welcome and which nobody leaves indifferent. Poreč is alive, full of positive people, love, energy, enthusiasm, scents and sounds. And it all unstoppably opens the door for you to discover something new, exciting and unforgettable each day, just like our great sporting stories.

Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia (FYROM) and Kosovo International Assistance to Media
R E P R E S E N TATIVE ON FREEDOM OF THE MEDIA Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia (FYROM) and Kosovo International Assistance to Media A Report by Mark Thompson Vienna 2000 The cover is a drawing by the German author and Nobel Prize laureate (1999), Günter Grass, “Des Schreibers Hand” (The writer’s hand). He gave his kind permission for its use as the logo of the publications of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media. The drawing was created in the context of his novel Das Treffen in Telgte, dealing with the literary authors at the time of the Thirty Years Wa r. This report was possible due to the financial support of the European Commission © Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Office of the Representative on Freedom of the Media 2000 Kärntnerring 5/7, Top 14, 2.

Nationalism and Sporting Culture: a Media Analysis of Croatia's Participation in the 1998 World
Nationalism and Sporting Culture: A Media Analysis of Croatia’s Participation in the 1998 World Cup Andreja Milasincic, BPHED Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Health and Physical Education) Supervisor: Ian Ritchie, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario L2S 3A1 Andreja Milasincic © November 2013 Abstract The past two centuries have witnessed the rise of nationalist movements and widespread nationalism. As these movements gained strength in Europe, sport played a role in their development. Media representations of sport recount events in a way that reinforces cultural values and this research investigates media representations of Croatian nationalism in the weeks surrounding the country’s third place victory in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Sociological theories alongside more contemporary theories of sport and nation construction are considered. Croatian newspapers were analyzed for elements of national identity construction. The study concludes that the 1998 World Cup played an important role in Croatia’s on-going construction of nationhood and invention of nationalist traditions. This research further demonstrates sport’s ability to evoke strong emotions that are difficult to witness in other areas of social life and the direct role of sport in garnering nationalism. Keywords: nationalism, identities, newspapers, Croatia, soccer Acknowledgments The successful composition of this thesis required the support and direction of various individuals. First and foremost, a thank you to my supervisor, Dr. Ian Ritchie, for the countless hours spent encouraging, advising, and offering constructive criticisms throughout the research process. Your support and guidance have been not only appreciated but also vital to the completion of this thesis. -
Queer Migration in & out of Croatia: Waitressing Is an Awful Job When
Queer migration in & out of Croatia: Waitressing is an awful job when you’re gay in a straight bar1 Amir Hodžić, Independent Scholar Starting point: Zrinjevac Park, 10 000 Zagreb The park on Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, colloquially called Zrinjevac, is the oldest promenade in downtown Zagreb. Since 1872 many significant social and cultural events have taken place there. On June 29th 2002, another historical public gathering was held in Zrinjevac, the 1st Zagreb Pride. That day, around 300 participants marched through the city centre heavily guarded by the police. That did not stop numerous insults coming from both “ordinary” citizens and organized groups of young neo-fascists and skinheads who managed to throw tear gas at the parade and beat up around 30 Pride participants. While 27 people were arrested, no one was ever charged with assault or discrimination. At the turn of the century, in Croatia, more precisely in Zagreb, the growth and integration of the queer community/movement was enabled partly by the changes after the 2000s elections,2 and partly by the development of Internet forums. The year 2002 marks the increased visibility of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Transexual, Intersex and Queer (LGBTTIQ) community and movement in Croatia, and the beginning of more intense lobbying and advocacy for the rights of “sexual and gender minorities” within the Croatian legal system. The same year, LORI, a lesbian organization from Rijeka, implemented the 1st national campaign for the promotion of LGBTTIQ rights. The campaign included a TV clip Love is Love, which was banned by national television as “inappropriate”. -
