We would like to inform you about the current state in Croatian defence industry. That is an industrial sector that has developed slowly but in continuity, companies have been given a pro- file, they have adopted new technologies and offer products that can meet demands of the buyers. The catalog represents manufacturers of different defence equipment, from apparel to footwear to complex simula- tors and combat systems. Meeting domestic requirements is evidence that many companies are ready to offer their products on global market too. One of the indicators that Croatian companies are capable of fulfilling the most difficult demands is that they manufac- tured appropriate equipment for different climatic and geo- graphical conditions for requirements of Croatian soldiers who are deployed in peace missions and operations abroad. Croatian soldiers who are equipped with products of Croatian manufacturers take part in peace missions and operations in Afghanistan and other states. The companies in the catalog are listed in alphabetical order, basic contact data are stated for each company and a part of their products is represented. We hope you will read the catalog with interest since we tried to make it well laid out and user friendly as much as possible. Our goal is to show, in a simple and interesting manner, the capacities and attainments of Croatian defence production. Croatian defence industry developed during the Homeland War 1991- 1995, mostly from the existing civilian compa- nies and in minor part from companies that dealt with defence production within the former state. At that time, the aim of that young, newly established industry was to manufacture weapons, ammunition and equipment for defence of freedom and independence. Today's capacities have been adjusted to peacetime requirements. One of the important directions of the devel- opment is fostering cooperation with foreign partners, especially in the programme of modernizing the CAF. We hope that this catalog will be useful to all those who want to come to know Croatian defence industry and to establish contacts for possible business cooperation.

The capital of Croatia is Zagreb, a city of some 800 000 inhabitants, more than 900 years old, the hub of Croatian trade and education.

It especially came to light in 1848 when in association with other Slavs within the Habsburg Monarchy, being between a “Greater Hungary” and “All German” ideas, Croatia fought for equal rights of all nations and for the reform of the Monarchy on a fed- eral basis. Soon, the Yugoslav idea spread out from the field of culture into that of politics, focusing on the union of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs in a federal state. But, in 1918 the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was established (later Yugoslavia) and Croats found themselves in a Greater Serbia, thus remained The oldest preserved and the most valuable stone administratively fragmented and subject to monument written in Croatian language and Croatian Serbian hegemony.

Most of them were founded in ancient or medieval times, and four of them have already been included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List: the historical core of the City of Dubrovnik dating from 7th century and still inhabited; the historical core of Split - Diocletian’s Palace - built about 300 A.D. for the Roman emperor Diocletian close to his native place; the Basilica Euphrasiana in PoreË, a complex of sacral buildings dating from the 6th century; and the historical nucleus of Trogir, one of the best pre- served Romanesque-Gothic urban 1945 Croatia was a federal unit but again subject to strong centralistic pressures and the hegemony of Serbs. After the death of President Tito, the eighties saw the strength- ening of Greater Serbian idea and the Serbs assumed complete control over the armed forces and the police. After the first multi- party elections in Croatia in 1990 Yugoslav Army attacked Croatia, after which the Croatian Parliament proclaimed independ- ence. The resistance soon took the form of an organized Homeland War and ended in 1995, when almost all of the occupied areas were liberated. Croatia achieved full sovereignty over the entire territory with peaceful reinte- gration of the demolished town Vukovar, even though it was recognized internationally on 15th January 1992, when it was also accept- ed into the UN. The policy focused on Euro- Atlantic integrations is being systematically pursued, Croatia joined NATO in 2009.

In the Croatian hinterlands, particular mention ought to be made of the historical centres of the cities such as Zagreb (free royal city since 1242), Karlovac (with its hexagonal star shaped fortress), Sisak (originally the Illyrian- Celtic Segestica and later Roman Siscia), Varaædin (its Baroque centre), Slavonski Brod (former Roman minicipium of Marsonia), Osijek (with its Fortress), Vinkovci and Vukovar (set- tled already in prehistory, an Eneolitic culture site). Near the city of Krapina is a well-known cave where the remains of the Krapina Neanderthal Man were found, who lived there 100 000 years ago. The Islands of Brijuni, with their ancient temples, were also settled already in prehistoric times. Besides all that, there are hundreds of picturesque castles, for- NATURAL HERITAGE Croatia has eight national tifications and manor houses strung out across parks, many nature parks, strictly protected entire Croatia.

The ski centres of Gorski Kotar only a couple of dozen miles away from the sea, hunting grounds, rivers and lakes for angling, untouched environment and deserted islets ideal for diving and yachting are current- ly Croatia’s trademark worldwide. ECONOMY In the last decade of the 20th cen- tury our national economy was faced with prob- lems of transition from planned socialist to market economy, with the consequences of several years of war. Croatia is rich in natural resources, and is determined to build its future on services and high technology. Its priority is the utilization of its maritime potential: above all tourism, shipping and ship building.

The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

    Croatia Page 1 of 6 Croatia International Religious Freedom Report 2005 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor The Constitution provides for freedom of conscience and religion and free public profession of religious conviction, and the Government generally respects these rights in practice. There is no official state religion; however, the Roman Catholic Church enjoys a close relationship with the State not shared by other religious groups. The legal position of most major religious communities has improved due to agreements with the State, which grant benefits similar to those enjoyed by the Catholic Church. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and the coalition Government that took power in 2003 has continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion. Religion and ethnicity are linked closely in society. Since independence in 1991, religious institutions of all faiths were victimized by the ethnic conflicts that led to the breakup of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. There were sporadic reports of intimidation and vandalism, particularly in the war-affected areas, directed against Serbian Orthodox clergy and property, although there was a decrease in severity and frequency of such attacks. The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. U.S. Embassy officials frequently met with representatives of religious and ethnic minority communities and with government officials. Section I. Religious Demography The country has a total area of 21,831 square miles, and its population is approximately 4,437,000.

  • Strengthening the Regional Dimension
    ARTICLE SECOND INTERGEO-EAST, ZAGREB Strengthening the Regional Dimension The second annual Intergeo-East for professionals from south-eastern Europe, especially the former countries of Yugoslavia, took place at Zagrebac¢ki velesajam (Zagreb Fair), Croatia from 7th to 9th March 2005. Zagreb was chosen as venue due to its function as a junction for the region. About 3,500 exhibition visitors attended, eight hundred participating in the conference. Intergeo-East exploits the model of the successful Intergeo in Germany, promoting exchanges both with Germany and between neighbouring countries in the region. In support of this goal, organisers from Germany worked together with local organisers of the event. Cadastre Advances After its official opening, the conference proper began with presentations on cadastre and land management in Croatia. On 1st March 2000 the Croatian Law on State Survey and Real Estate Cadastre was issued and today implementation of the Croatian cadastre and real estate register is quite far advanced. Institutions are working together to harmonise cadastre maps, which are the responsibility of the State Geodetic Authority, and the real-estate register of the Ministry of Justice. Financing by GTZ (Gesellschaft für Zusammen-arbeit: German Association for Technical Co-operation) and the World Bank has largely contributed to the advanced situation. Nevertheless, digitisation and harmonisation programmes will not be completed before 2010. On a more general level, Croatia is promoting its national spatial data infrastructure by developing an implementation plan, supported by German organisations. Efficient Exhibition The Croatian Minister of Justice Mrs Vesna S¢kare-Oz¢bolt officially opened the exhibition on Tuesday morning.

  • Doseljenici U Splitu Početkom 19. Stoljeća I Njihova Prezimena
    Nevenka Bezić-Božanić Split DOSELJENICI U SPLITU POČETKOM 19. STOLJEćA I NJIHOVA PREZIMENA UDK 808.87:801:313 Rad primljen 8. travnja 1988. Split je potkraj 18. stoljeća životario u do kraja iscrpljenoj Mletačkoj Republici očekujući bolje dane vezane uz vijesti što bi kadkod stigle morskim putem o novim strujanjima u Evropi. I dok su jedni pristajali uz ideje fran­ cuske revolucije, drugi su se zanosili vjekovnim težnjama pripojenja Dalma­ cije s Hrvatskom. Stoga Veliko vijeće splitske komune 17. lipnja 1797 . .go­ dine donosi odluku da se Split pripoji Hrvatskoj, što je Beč razbio odmah nakon mira u Campoformiju u listopadu te godine, kad je preuzeo vlast nad Dalmacijom. Nakon požunskog mira 1805. godine Dalmacija je pripala Francuskoj i tako ušla u sastav novoosnovane Kraljevine Italije pod vladavi· nom Napoleona. No 1813. godine Split ponovo dolazi pod austrijsku upravu. Francuska vlast nastojala je privredno ojačati Split izgradnjom cesta sa za­ leđem, ali nije bilo nekog vidljivog napretka, pa Split i dalje životari sa svojih oko šest tisuća stanovnika. Iako je Split u to vrijeme već bio crkveno podijeljen na tri župe: grad sa sjedištem u stelnici, Varoš-Dobri u crkvi ·sv. Križa, te Lučac-Manuš u crkvi sv. Petra, matične knjige vjenčanih, rođenih i umrlih vodile su ·se za čitavo područje Splita u župi Grad. Lučac i Manuš uspostavljaju svoje knjige 1825. godine, a Varoš i Dobri će to učiniti tek 1828. godine. I dok u Split 18. stoljeća doseljavaju uglavnom mletački činovnici, poneki trgovac i pomorac, te obrtnici manje poznatih obrta, u osvitu novog stoljeća u gradu nalazimo veći broj doseljenika iz čitave Dalmacije, Apeninskog polu­ otoka, Austrougarske Carevine i nekih mediterans!kih i evropskih zemalja.
