  • Traces of Oral Narration in Konavle
    Nar. urn jet. 35/1, 1998, pp. 137-155, M. Boskovic-Stulli, Traces of Oral Narration in.. Original scientific paper Received: 10.2.1998 Accepted: 31.3.1998 UDK 398:886.2.09-32 MAJA BOŠKOVIĆ-STULLI Zagreb TRACES OF ORAL NARRATION IN KONAVLE The style of this article avoids the usual scholarly fashion. The author has already written several studies ahout Bogišic's collection in a more "scientific" way: In this text, M. Roskovie-Stulli follows the paths of her own wanderings and the stories she heard all over Konavle forty, and even more than forty, years ago — she tries to conjure up at least something of the narrators of that time, of the local stories, and of that landscape seen through its legends. Keywords: Croatian oral literature, oral prose, Konavle I feel the presence of Konavle now, to use the words of Villon, as my "snows of yesteryear" — as les neiges d'antan. Born and raised in northern inland regions of Croatia, the encounter with the landscape and history of that Mediterranean rural community near the City of Duhrovnik, everything I got to know and accept in that part of Croatia, was brought home to me in the family circle of my husband, who was born in Dubrovnik, and his relatives. Most of my Konavle narrators — male and female — whose oral narratives are the subject of this article, are long dead or in very advanced years now. Many of the younger ones have probably emigrated and also grown old — and I have never heard from them again. Finally, the war at the beginning of the 1990s: Konavle devastated and destroyed.

  • Accounting for Regional Poverty Differences in Croatia: Exploring the Role of Disparities in Average Income and Inequality
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Accounting for regional poverty differences in Croatia: Exploring the role of disparities in average income and inequality Rubil, Ivica The Institute of Economics, Zagreb 16 January 2013 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/43827/ MPRA Paper No. 43827, posted 16 Jan 2013 11:16 UTC ACCOUNTING FOR REGIONAL POVERTY DIFFERENCES IN CROATIA: EXPLORING THE ROLE OF DISPARITIES IN AVERAGE INCOME AND INEQUALITY Ivica Rubil The Institute of Economics, Zagreb January 2013 Abstract The prevalence of poverty in a given population is determined by both the level of average income and the shape of income distribution. Accordingly, the difference in poverty between two populations can be attributed to disparities in their average incomes and in the levels of income inequality. In this paper, we decompose the differences in relative poverty between each of the twenty-one Croatian counties and Croatia as a whole into the contributions of the mean income and income inequality, using the Household Budget Survey data for 2010. The decomposition framework that we utilize here is one usually applied for decompositions of intertemporal poverty changes, and is based on the concept of Shapley value from cooperative game theory. Poverty is measured by three conventional measures – the headcount ratio, the poverty gap, and the squared poverty gap – and robustness of the results to switching from one measure to another is discussed. The results of decompositions show that in most cases both the mean income and inequality differences contribute to poverty variation across the counties, relative to poverty in Croatia as a whole. When poverty is measured by the headcount ratio, the income contribution dominates the inequality contribution, while when we switch to the other two measures, which give more weight to poorer among the poor, the inequality contribution starts to dominate.

  • HU 2010 Croatia
    CROATIA Promoting social inclusion of children in a disadvantaged rural environment Antun Ilijaš and Gordana Petrović Centre for Social Care Zagreb Dora Dodig University of Zagreb Introduction Roma have lived in the territory of the Republic of Croatia since the 14th century. According to the 2001 population census, the Roma national minority makes up 0.21% of the population of Croatia, and includes 9463 members. However, according to the data of the Office for Ethnic Minority in Croatia, there is currently around 30 000 Roma people living in Croatia. It is difficult to accurately define the number of Roma people living in Croatia because some of them declare as members of some other nationality, and not as Roma. There is a higher density of Roma in some regions of Croatia: Medjimurje county, Osječko-baranjska county, Zagreb, Rijeka, Pula, Pitomača, Kutina, ðurñevac, Sisak, Slavonski Brod, Bjelovar, Karlovac and Vukovar. 1 Roma people in Croatia are considerably marginalised in almost all public and social activities and living conditions of Roma people are far more unsatisfactory than those of average population and other ethnic minorities. The position of Roma and their living conditions have been on the very margins of social interest for years, and this has contributed to the significant deterioration of the quality of their living conditions, as compared to the average quality of living conditions of the majority population. This regards their social status, the way in which their education, health care and social welfare are organised, the possibility to preserve their national identity, resolving of their status-related issues, employment, presentation in the media, political representation and similar issues.

  • Embassy of India Zagreb *** India - Croatia Relations
    Embassy of India Zagreb *** India - Croatia Relations Political Relations Relations between India and Croatia have been friendly since the days of the former Yugoslavia (SFRY). Marshal Tito, a Croat, who ruled Yugoslavia for more than three decades, maintained close relations with the then Indian leadership. Nehru and Tito were also pioneers of NAM. Croatia dominated bilateral trade relations accounting for more than two-thirds of trade between India and the former Yugoslavia. This included large scale purchases of Croatian ships by India in the 1970s and 1980s. India recognized Croatia in May 1992 and established diplomatic relations MOS (IC) / C&I, N.Sitharaman in Croatia on 9 July 1992. Croatia opened its resident (14-15 Feb 2017) mission at New Delhi in February 1995. The Indian Mission in Zagreb was opened on 28 April 1996, and upgraded to Ambassadorial level in January 1998. Bilateral relations have remained friendly at the political level but the economic ties have lagged since the Tito era, and the effort is to provide resurgence to this aspect of the relationship. There is good cooperation between the two countries at the multilateral level. VVIP Visits: (a) From Croatia: Former Croatian President Stjepan Mesić paid a State Visit to India, 12-16 November 2002. In the Joint Statement, Croatia expressed support for India’s claim for permanent membership of the UNSC. (b) From India: Vice-President M. Hamid Ansari visited Croatia, 9-11 June 2010 at the invitation of Croatian President Ivo Josipovic. Ministerial Level Visits: (a) From Croatia: 1.

  • Vina Croatia
    Wines of CROATIA unique and exciting Croatia as a AUSTRIA modern country HUNGARY SLOVENIA CROATIA Croatia, having been eager to experience immediate changes, success and recognition, has, at the beginning of a new decade, totally altered its approach to life and business. A strong desire to earn quick money as well as rapid trade expansion have been replaced by more moderate, longer-term investment projects in the areas of viticulture, rural tourism, family hotels, fisheries, olive growing, ecological agriculture and superior restaurants. BOSNIA & The strong first impression of international brands has been replaced by turning to traditional HERZEGOVINA products, having their origins in a deep historic heritage. The expansion of fast-food chains was brought to a halt in the mid-1990’s as multinational companies understood that investment would not be returned as quickly as had been planned. More ambitious restaurants transformed into centres of hedonism, whereas small, thematic ones offering several fresh and well-prepared dishes are visited every day. Tradition and a return to nature are now popular ITALY Viticulture has been fully developed. Having superior technology at their disposal, a new generation of well-educated winemakers show firm personal convictions and aims with clear goals. The rapid growth of international wine varietals has been hindered while local varietals that were almost on the verge of extinction, have gradually gained in importance. Not only have the most prominent European regions shared their experience, but the world’s renowned wine experts have offered their consulting services. Biodynamic movement has been very brisk with every wine region bursting with life.

  • Identity and Language Shift Among Vlashki/Zheyanski Speakers in Croatia1
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Language Documentation & Conservation Special Publication No. 9 (January 2016): Language Documentation and Conservation in Europe ed. by Vera Ferreira and Peter Bouda, pp. 51–68 http://nflrc.hawaii.edu/ldc/ 5 http://hdl.handle.net/10125/24659 Identity and language shift among Vlashki/Zheyanski speakers in Croatia1 Zvjezdana Vrzic´ab and John Victor Singlera aNew York University, bUniversity of Rijeka The language Vlashki/Zheyanski, spoken in two areas – the Šušnjevica area and Žejane – of the multilingual, multiethnic Istrian peninsula of Croatia, evinces strong loyalty on the part of its elderly speakers, yet in both areas a language shift to Croatian is well underway. Vlashki/Zheyanski is a severely endangered Eastern Romance language known in the linguistic literature as Istro-Romanian. In order to study the domains and frequency of use of the language and equally to examine speaker attitudes about language and iden- tity, we administered a questionnaire to speakers in both locations. Our sample included responses from individuals in four age groups. Our discussion here focuses on 16 men and women from the two older groups, 51–70 and 71-and- older. In Žejane, speakers saw knowledge of the language and family lineage as defining components of being a “real” member of the community. The name for the language, Zheyanski, comes from the village name. Hence, someone who speaks the language asserts that village belonging and village affiliation are at the core of speakers’ identity. In terms of national identification, whether Croatian, Italian, and/or Istrian, Zheyanski speakers by and large showed little enthusiasm for any of the three choices.
