  • 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.

  • Days of Counties
    ZANIMLJIVOSTI Zagreb, 30 April 2016 Days of Counties The importance of statistics is unquestionable when it comes to policy planning and decision making, while statistical data expressed at lower territorial levels are very significant since they provide decision makers with a better insight and analysis of the situation in strictly defined area, which help in making more precise plans. This further contributes to better realisation of planned activities in the future. Having in mind that as much as nine counties celebrate their day, we released a series of data by counties that cover almost all statistical areas at the web site of the Croatian Bureau of Statistics within Statistics in Line this month. In the text below you can find analysis of some of the most intriguing statistical indicators by counties. Natural increase positive in only three counties During 2014, there was a total of 39 566 live births in the Republic of Croatia, most of which in the City of Zagreb, 8 452 (21.4%), while the County of Split-Dalmatia held the second place with 4 312 (10.9%) of live births. Moreover, while the number of live births in the City of Zagreb increased by 11.4% compared to the number of live births ten years ago, in 2005 to be specific, in the County of Split-Dalmatia that number was by 13.2% lower. A negative trend was recorded in most counties, except in the already mentioned City of Zagreb as well as in the County of Dubrovnik-Neretva with an increase of 2.7%, in the County of Istria with an increase of 2.3% and in the County of Primorje-Gorski kotar with an increase of 0.1% in the number of live births recorded in 2014, as compared to 2005.

  • Budget Transparency of Croatian Counties, Cities and Municipalities in 2013/2014
    NEWSLETTER Zagreb l Smičiklasova 21 doi: 10.3326/nle.2014.87 [email protected] l www.ijf.hr l tel: +385(0)1 4886 444 No. 87 l May 2014 l ISSN 1333-4417 Budget transparency of Croatian counties, cities and municipalities in 2013/2014 KATARINA OTT MIHAELA BRONIĆ MIROSLAV PETRUŠIĆ The overall average budget transparency of Croatian counties, cities and municipalities is far from being satisfactory as even the most transparent counties rate below the 50%. Although a major improvement in budget transparency cannot be expected without both a major reform of the country's territorial organization and fiscal (de)centralization, certain examples – some pertaining to smaller and relatively less well off local units – do show that, even under present circumstances, improvements can be achieved. And fiscal and economic crisis, corruption scandals and high deficit and debt levels – all requiring greater fiscal discipline and a more efficient public sector – make those improvements more and more necessary by the day. This paper aims to analyze the openness, i.e. the transparency of the Croatian local units' budgets and to determine whether an improvement has been achieved in the course of the last year.1 Budget transparency implies that the information regarding the budget accessible to the general public is complete, relevant, correct, issued in a timely manner and presented in an understandable format.2 For the purposes of this research, budget transparency is measured by the number of key budget documents published by local units, with the level of transparency being scored on a scale from 0 to 7. Budget transparency allows the general public to obtain information and influence decisions about collecting and spending of public money.
