  • City of Rijeka Intercultural Profile
    City of Rijeka Intercultural Profile This report is based upon the visit of the CoE expert team on 11 & 12 July 2016, comprising Phil Wood and Ivana D’Alessando. It should be read in parallel with the Council of Europe’s response to Rijeka’s ICC Index questionnaire, which contains many recommendations and pointers to examples of good practice. 1. Introduction Rijeka is the principal seaport and the third-largest city in Croatia (after Zagreb and Split). It is located on Kvarner Bay, an inlet of the Adriatic Sea and has a population of 128,624 inhabitants (2011). The metropolitan area, which includes adjacent towns and municipalities, has a population of more than 240,000. Historically, because of its strategic position and deep-water port, the city was fiercely contested, especially amongst Italy, Hungary (serving as the Kingdom of Hungary's largest and most important port), and Croatia, changing hands and demographics many times over centuries. This is reflected in the city’s alternative names, it being known in Italian and Hungarian as Fiume, in Slovene as Reka and in German as Sankt Veit am Flaum. According to the 2011 census data, the overwhelming majority of its citizens (82.52%) are presently Croats, along with small numbers of Bosniaks, Italians and Serbs. Members of all 22 of Croatia’s official National Minorities are resident in the city. Rijeka is the main city of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County which includes several islands of the northern Dalmatian coast, and has a population of 296,195 and, for the purposes of Intercultural Cities membership, the whole of the County is included.

  • Porter's Diamond Model of Osijek-Baranja County
    Interdisciplinary Management Research V PORTER’S DIAMOND MODEL OF OSIJEK-BARANJA COUNTY INDUSTRY Vladimir Cini 1, Nataša Nater 2 1Associate Professor, Faculty of Economics in Osijek, Croatia, [email protected] 1Teacher Assistant, Faculty of Economics in Osijek, Croatia, [email protected] ________________________________________________________________ Abstract Industry in Osijek-Baranja County has suffered from multiple direct and indirect consequences from the defensive war. It is estimated 60 per cent reduction in production capacities. Difficult situation was even worse as at the same time serious reduction of business activities, closing off its largest export markets, Former Yugoslavia, privatization process, and impossibility for facing foreign competition, occurred. Old technology, indifference to technical science with young people, brain drain to more perspective counties and states, and lack of financial sources, have only increased the existing problems that industry in Osijek-Baranja County is facing. In these conditions, it was hard to keep in step with global production trends and with orientation of traditional industry into “new industry” based on development and application of scientific and research work results. Industry is changing. It is changing in the way that it is becoming based on knowledge, innovation, creativity, sustainable development and new technology application in all business spheres. Because of that, industry has an influence on developing new businesses, most common non-production ones. From the moment of signing Stabilization and Association Agreement, the Republic of Croatia has possibilities to use financial resources from the European Union pre-accession instruments and funds. Thereby, Osijek-Baranja County can use great financial resources and use them to start reindustrialization in accordance with European Union industrial policy and Lisbon strategy.

  • Multilingualism and the Social Status of Women in the City of Osijek in the 19Th and Early 20Th Centuries
    Multilingualism and the Social Status of Women in the City of Osijek in the 19th and Early 20th Centuries Ljubica Kordic1, Visnja Lachner2, 1Associate Professor, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Law Osijek, Croatia 2Assistant Professor, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Faculty of Law Osijek, Croatia *Ljubica Kordic Abstract. The authors strive to present the social status of women in Croatian cities in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries on the example of the multilingual city of Osijek. The main goal of the paper is to determine the main features of the social position of women at that time and to examine how it was influenced by their knowledge of two or three languages spoken in the multilingual milieu of the city: Croatian, German and Hungarian. The object of the research encompasses job announcements and advertisements concerning women in the local newspapers in the German language die Drau and Slawonische Presse published in Osijek in that period. In the introduction, the political background of Croatian society at the observed period is presented and the analysis of the relevant legal regulations conducted from the point of view of the history of law. In the main part, newspaper announcements and advertisements concerning women and multilingualism are researched into and discussed from the perspective of pragmatic linguistics and sociolinguistics. The method used in achieving this goal was fieldwork research of the original issues of two local newspapers in the German language - Die Drau and Slawonische Presse available at the State Archives of Osijek. The corpus of the research encompasses all the issues of Slawonische Presse published from 1870 to 1918, and of Die Drau from 1870 to 1927.
