The Liverpool football player Dejan Lovern talks in a documentary about his childhood, how he had to grow up as a refugee and how he experienced it. From fleeing from the Bosnian war to Germany. Only to later having to go back but settling in Croatia. It’s a documentary worth watching, especially now when Europe is experiencing a refugee crisis. Remember to stay open to everybody.

The supporters of far-right A-HSP party marched through the capital Zagreb this sunday (26th february 2016), and gathered at the main Ban Jelacic square, before they chanted pro-Nazi slogans such as ‘Za dom spremni’ which means ('For the Homeland ready'), the slogan used by Croatia's World War II pro-Nazi regime.
The marchers were dressed in black and waved the Croatian and US flags as they showed support for the US president Donald J Trump. they were also waving the flag of the German far-right NPD party.
The Police arrested the far-right A-HSP party leader Drazen Kelemenic after the protest.
Furthermore the Croatian government condemned the marching and offensive stickers with a drawing of a ‘serbian family tree’ which showed people hanging from its branches.

Climate politics has not been a big part of the croatian politics but has taken a bigger role since they joined the European Union in 2013. They are mainly relying on techniques such as nuclear power and CCS (carbon capture and storage) which is non renewable resources.
Nuclear power and CCS is not harming the environment as long as it’s not released into the atmosphere and as long as the nuclear power plant is stable, but since we are striving towards renewable energy, why not focus on this? Actually, the government are investing in renewable energy and energy alternatives with low ghg emission, which is positive.
Wind power is something that is used in Croatia. Since the first wind farm was installed in 2004 it has been growing and is used today. In 2013, Croatia generated around 15% renewable energy. They are hoping to achieve to generate around 20% renewable energy from wind and solar power and have constructed a plan to reach that goal. This is will also result in them reaching the EU 2020 target for renewable energy. So let’s hope that they keep up the good work!

Croatia is since 2013 a member of the European Union. When signing the membership the country agreed to the rights and obligations of the EU which is a great step towards a greater world.
They first applied for membership in February 21st in 2003 and where there granted Croatia the status of candidate country for membership by the European Council, and since 2005, they’ve had a long negotiation process upon till 2013.
In 2011 at a referendum of the voting of joining the EU in Croatia, 66.27% of the voters voted YES to membership in EU. GO CROATIA!
