The Policy of Immigration in Croatia

In: Politicka misao, Band 35, Heft 5, S. 57-75

Abstract

In today's world, migrations of populations are increasingly more frequent due to a variety of reasons. Different states approach this issue in a different way. Thus, we may distinguish between those that employ more restrictive immigration policies & those that are open to immigration. The Republic of Croatia has built its immigration policy on the fact that it is among the countries with the biggest diasporas in the world. Since its people emigrated from Croatia for many years after WWII, the new Croatian government after the independence shaped its immigration policy that was supposed to stimulate its emigrants to return to Croatia. The Ministry of Immigration was founded with the task of implementing the state's policy of immigration regarding the return of emigrants. 3 Tables, 10 Figures, 1 Graph.
