What do people usually think about the diaspora abroad and the ones visiting Croatia?
I want to clarify that my 4 great-great-grandparents emigrated in 1901 and my great-grandfather in 1929. All from Hvar. And i took A1 level while in Argentina.
Another thing, many people talk about how easy it is to obtain a Croatian passport if you have blood. There are millions of Croatian descendants around the world, but only a few are granted citizenship. This is due to the volume of documents you need. And you have to demonstrate your ties to Croatian culture. I personally had to take a test about their culture, history, and customs in the Croatian language.
Also if anyone has family from Hvar, feel free to DM me, I have my complete family tree, and I would love to know about cousins ​​who stayed in Croatia.

  2. Croatian citizenship is given away too easily, it has become something worthless.

  4. Don’t ask your Argentinian grandpa what he was doing in Croatia back in the days

  6. welcome back ili dobrodošao.

    do you speak croatian?
    are you planning to just visit or maybe move?
    like everything else it has advantages and dissadvantages but its an ok place.

  7. You are beloved in Croatia unless you are part of Bosnian Croats then you are not a Croat according to Reddit.

  8. If you can’t speak Croatian then you are not a diaspora in my opinion. You have Croatian heritage and that’s cool. We will be happy to see you visit.

    But to be Croatian you would need to share Croatian culture and language. At least in my opinion.

  9. Okay, learn our language, learn our culture and you re more than welcome.

    You re planning to stay?

  10. I love my argentinian bros! Some of the best people I’ve met
    Ignore the retards in the thread 😁

  11. I am from Melbourne Australia and am planning to move to Croatia. I am fluent in the language and it didn’t help me with the process at all. I am now waiting over 2.5 years to be accepted for some reason. My parents came to Australia in the 90s and I visit Croatia every second year.

    What I don’t understand is Croatians in America, Australia, Canada, Latin America and the rest of the world collecting the passport/citizenship like a Pokemon card. Not actually planning to move back as they are holding up the line for those of us who want to move back.

    As long as you attempt to learn our language that is important 😄

    Rant over

  12. How did you get your passport? How hard was it to get it? How old are you?

    My late grandma had it, and I was sniffing around if I could get it somehow, and asked a lawyer who’s helping in such cases, and he told me there’s no way. Wondering if it matters where are you from. 🤔

  13. If you’re that far removed from your Croatian ancestor you’re just Argentine of Croatian descent.

  14. I see no reason to be upset about you using your right to hold a Croatian passport. It does not affect my life and you are not doing any harm to me or Croatia if you use this EU passport to seek a better life for youself. ¡Buena suerte!

  15. I thing dijaspora should not have the right to vote for Croatian president or parlament as they dont know how to live here and how bad it is.

  16. I don’t mind as long as they are not some far-right, ustaša loving, Pavelić fangirls. Unfortunately, lots of our diaspora seems that way, since it is not uncommon for Croatian clubs abroad to have pictures of Ante Pavelić hanged in their clubs.

  19. I’m gonna tell you what i think, it’s been 100y you basically have nothing to do with Croatia , and a counter question, where did you guys hide Adolf?

  20. Es mejor que los argentinos de origen croata limpien nuestros baños que los nepalíes y indios. Bienvenido a Croatia.

  21. I am divided on this issue. On the one hand, I would be sincerely glad if the Latin American diaspora returned to Croatia.

    On the other hand, in practice, in real life, it seems that the Latin American Croatian diaspora interested in returning is actually only interested in a Croatian passport in the sense that it’s also an EU passport with which they can immediately proceed to the Hispanic part of the USA – South Florida, Texas, South California (or to Spain).

    A few years ago, I came across a YT channel of a woman of Croatian roots from Colombia or Venezuela, who talked about her journey back to Croatia – how to enter the country the easiest way, get a passport, etc. (and the comments were all in that sense). As soon as she got a Croatian passport, her next video was of her posing in front of a sandy beach in Miami and bragging about how she moved to the USA.

  22. Don’t worry about what people think; the most of them never set foot out of their village. Take what’s yours and don’t ask for anyone’s approval.

  23. Go here -30.9687186, -64.2838513 and say gute morgen Adolf!

  24. I know all of this surnames, I can connect you directly to the anzulovic or others easily

  25. The only reason anyone in the diaspora is interested in croatia is because of the EU passport. I remember a few years back, to me there seemed to be a lot of people proclaiming how they “just found out” their great great … grandpa was from croatia. They would profess their love for the country, culture… you name it and in the next breath ask for instructions on how to get Croatian citizenship. I think the latin/american-croatian diaspora is at this point no more croatian than the people of whatever country they reside in and if croatia wasnt in the EU and if it wasnt nearly as developed as it has become, they would never even bother. The only way you can tell someone is a genuine Croat in the diaspora is if they know how to speak the language. Unfortunately this filters out 99% of croats abroad.

  26. Genuine question, how was the political situation in your diaspore comunity, especialy after ww2 emigrations? Were there political tensions about the situations in Jugoslavija?

  28. I love it! Keeping memory of homeland is so nice.
    I’m biased because I want to visit Argentina one day 🥰

  29. I’m also Argentinian of Croatian origins (my great grandfather on my father’s side was from Gornji Human in the island of Brač). I was granted Croatian citizenship some time ago, but I haven’t requested my Croatian passport yet. I’ve travelled to Croatia a few years ago with my Argentine passport, to visit my great grandfather’s town and to meet some family that’s still there, and It was a life changing experience. Since that trip, my life goal has been to move to Croatia as soon as I retire.
