Welcome to Croatian Viewpoint

Croatian Viewpoint … ‘a journey to freedom’ is the independent website of A & J Marinovic, a husband and wife team. We are often asked “what is our website about” or “what is our main argument”?

Our mission is to interpret the long journey to freedom, and in the 21st century to include a greater focus on the Zadar hinterland region of Croatia, as part of that interpretation. In contrast, during the last decades of the 20th century, the main focus of research has been on Croatian settlement in Australia.

The big challenge is to find some meaning for the journey to freedom in the bigger picture. For the first time since the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights the Croatian people are experiencing acceptance of their identity, the recognition of their nation, freedom of expression and a measure of the equality and dignity that follow from these rights.

Some events in Croatian history have affected the wider region and the rest of the world as well as Croatian people. On our website we use an empirical approach to examine those events and documents from a United Nations Human Rights perspective.
