Yes, it is sad how little many Croatians know about what lies east of Zagreb

I moved from Dubrovnik to Osijek, I have to admit that I find Osijek much more pleasant to live in. And now Dubrovnik is more pleasant for me when I only come in the spring and autumn🙂

​@@voyagersquaremuzikaSlažem se, djelumično... i ja sam u srcu baranjac, tamo sam se rodio i odrastao, a skoro 50 godina živim u Osijeku. Osijek su još davno zvali "metropola Slavonije". (I tada je Baranja izostavljena)

What about a video on Climate Change and this 6th mass extinction. All this is interesting but unrealistic.

Salaries are low especially in this part of Croatia...That did not change at all. Only maybe Osijek is exception. One can be under impression of old achievements and bulidings but reality is not bright. Osijek has a very good mayor and his administration is doing all that is possible given the whole socioeconomic environment in Croatia.

Osijek je bombardiran od strane Srba od 7. mjeseca 1991. godine do 3. 1. 1992. a i dalje sporadično do kraja rata 1995. Srbi su znali za rat unaprijed i mnogi su otišli prije njega. Ali ih je dosta ostalo i do danas. U ratnim uvjetima sigurno je bilo i zločina, što svi osuđuju. Za vrijeme rata Osijek je imao 5000 stanovnika jer se nije moglo znati gdje će granata pasti i mnogi su privremeno pobjegli. U 4 mjeseca, od 1. 9. 91. do 1.1. 92. dnevno je ginulo prosječno 6, a ranjavano 30 građana od srpskih granata.
