Giant change happened in such a short time span, kind of in last few months. We're full with both illegal migrants and legal foreign workers.
What will be in few years time if we got filled in just a few months?
In my hood local playground and Kindergarten is full of non white kids and their parents. Hundreds are sleeping on railway station. Main city promenade is full with them during the night.
there are several reasons for this:
1) Croatia is supposed to join Schengen zone on Jan 1. It's not a sure deal yet but it's highly likely to happen. It's very important for our economy to join and I hear Police on purpose stopped arresting illegals because they are afraid of reaction od some European liberal MEPs who already complained about violence towards migrants and illegal push backs on the external EU border, and could possibly prevent Croatia from joining Schengen. I guess they are waiting for border to fall on Jan 1 so illegals will leave Croatia for western Europe (recently most claim Italy is their final destination)
2) Since 2021 under pressure of business owners Croatian government completely liberalized labor laws which now allow unlimited import of foreigners. Only this year more than 80 000 foreign workers came to Croatia, mainly from Balkans and southern/south eastern Asia. Now you can't order delivery trough certain companies without you being served by guy from Nepal, Bangladesh or Phillipines.
3) We are under increased pressure because Serbia has visa free regime with countries like Cuba, Burundi, India and Tunisia (in exchange for them not recognizing Kosovo), thus migrants from these countries feeely fly to Serbia and than illegaly cross Croatian border (human trafficking chains are booming). Thousands came like this.
Weirdest thing is that it's autumn and colder weather is coming and number of foreigners is increasing and bigger than ever before.
In every bus or train ride from Croatian capital to my city 50% of tickets are sold to non Europeans.
Main countries of origin of these people:
-Bangladesh
-Afghanistan
-Burundi
-India
-Pakistan
-Syria
-Nepal
-Cuba
-Tunisia
-Philippines
-Iran
