Ask anything Croatian related

[Jana]

One of Croatian members will answer. Culture, history, genetics, lifestyle, politics, travel advice, anything that may interest you. I'd be glad to answer and others too I presume.

Please no trolling.

I tought my grandmother was of croatian origin, however it doesn't show on my test. Probably their side is came from somewhere around czechia and lived in croatia for a while. Anyway I score closer to croatia on most of the calculators, beside austria, than any other neighboring country, so I feel a little connection still

What are croats opinions on hungary in general?

Are Croatians fifty percent Slavic and fifty percent Balkan genetically?

[Nurzat]

1. since Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro speak the same language and are only divided by religion, do you think that in time, with religion becoming more and more obsolete/less relevant, will these countries feel like they could re-unite to make Yugoslavia great again?

2. since Croatia will have to apply European Union laws including on immigration, do you think that the Croats that don't want large numbers of Arabs and Africans in the country could seek to approach non-EU Serbia again, as a means to escape European migrant policies? again pointing to the remake of Yugoslavia.

3. are there any Yugoslavia nostalgics among Croats that say it was better back then and regret the breaking of the country? (like there is the communist older generation in ex-communist states)

What are croats opinions on hungary in general?

Hungary is considered best neighbour of Croatia. People average opinion is mostly positive. Many nationalists (wisely or not) want Croatian Orbàn. Minorities in both countries are loyal and model citizens. There were mutual problems during 19th century national awakenings, but it is overshadowed by Hungarian help during Croatian War of Indipendence for most of people, who are grateful.

Are Croatians fifty percent Slavic and fifty percent Balkan genetically?

No. Croats are on average more than half Slavic, even in southernmost parts. But Balkan admixture is very significant.

No. Croats are on average more than half Slavic, even in southernmost parts. But Balkan admixture is very significant.

Which I think it tells us that the Slavic migrations to the area wasn't insignificant, correct?

Do Croats want to annex parts of BiH where croats live? How do you imagine do future of BiH?
