GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION STATE AUTHORITY ECONOMY CULTURE SPORTS ADDRESSES CROATIAN SPECIALTIES Croats in Serbia Croats in Vojvodina are a part of the indigenous population that has lived here for 300 or more years. There are 75,000 of Croats in Vojvodina, making up 3.7%, 22,000 Bunjevci Croats making up 1.1% and 1,865 ©okci Croats, making up 0.9% of the total population in Vojvodina. Some estimates indicate that there are 110,000 Croats in Vojvodina, but this still means that their number is in continuous decline. 8,178 Croats used to live in Kosovo, but their number has drastically decreased over the last decade. Croats in Sweden About 25,000 Croats live in Sweden. Besides Germany, this is one of the traditional destinations of our labor migration. Today, most people belong to the category of permanent emigrants. A significant number of Croats in Sweden live in Malmö, Göteborg and Stockholm. Croats in Switzerland According to realistic estimates, there are about 25,000 Croats. Most of them live in German - speaking Cantons. CROATS IN OVERSEAS COUNTRIES With 1,615,000 Croats (about 28% of the total Croatian population) in overseas countries, our country holds the leading position in this region as regards world immigration. Until World War I, the immigration policy in overseas countries was extremely liberal. However, between the two world wars, under the influence of the United States, this policy became the primary obstacle for Croats emigrating to most overseas countries. Affected by the restrictive measures of the immigration policy, the number of Croatian immigrants in these countries began to decrease significantly. Croats in Africa There are virtually no Croats on the African continent, except in the Republic of South Africa. According to realistic estimates, about 7000 Croats live in South Africa today. Croats in Australia According to the official immigration statistics, 300,000 Croatian immigrants and their descendants live in this country today. Croats live all over the continent. Croats in Argentina According to realistic estimates, about 130,000 Croats and their descendants live in Argentina. A new generation is almost non-existent, so this number is constantly decreasing. Croats in Bolivia About 500 Croats live in this relatively poor country, which is today unfavorable for potential immigration. These are mainly the descendants of Dalmatian emigrants who moved to this country up to the middle of the period between the two wars. 21
THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA • 2003 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Croats in Brazil According to realistic estimates, about 50,000 Croats (mostly from Dalmatia) live in Brazil (all generations included). Unlike other South American countries in which the number of Croats has stagnated or dropped after the war, Brazil is one of the few countries where the number of Croatian immigrants is constantly on the rise. Croats in Chile Due to the global economic crisis and the shortage of profitable reserves of saltpeter, Chile has had difficulties in keeping up with the economic trends of the developed Western world. This has certainly caused the decrease in number of Croats living in Chile and affected the dynamics of their immigration. There are 25,000 of them in the country today (pre-war statistics). Croats in Canada There are about 80,000 Croats in Canada today. Half of them live in Toronto. Croats in New Zeland About 20,000 Croats live in New Zealand. In addition to a limited number of postwar immigrants, this number primarily refers to the descendants of previous immigrants, coming from the Makarska littoral area and the Zagora region that gravitates towards it (Vrgorac), together with natives of KorËula and Peljeπac who began immigrating to this country in the second half of the 19th century. Croats in the USA In the post-war period, after almost two hundred years of predominance, the United States gradually ceased to be the leading immigration destination for Croatian immigrants, and Australia took over this position. Almost 250,000 Croats moved to this country after the war and today there are about 300,000. Croats in Paraguay There are at the most about one hundred Croats in this Latin American country which is relatively poor (extensive agriculture in the interior of the pampas). Today they mostly live in the city of Asuncion. Croats in Peru Several hundreds of Croats, mostly the descendants of the early Dalmatian immigrants, live in this Andean country in South America. Today, these descendants of former Sierra miners are relatively rich (traders, caterers, entrepreneurs). Most of them live in the capital city of Lima. Croats in Uruguay Of the former 4000 Croatian immigrants in this Latin American country, only 300 have remained. In addition to a small number of post-war immigrants, the rest are the descendants of early immigrants from the Makarska littoral region. Croats in Venezuela There are about 3,000 Croats in Venezuela today. For the most part, they are economic emigrants are political exiles from Coratia. Attracted by oil, many of them found employment in this industry. STATE AUTHORITY ECONOMY CULTURE SPORTS ADDRESSES CROATIAN SPECIALTIES
