If you are moving to planning to live in Croatia for a short period of time there should be a few things you should be aware about before you move there. Croatia is a VERY small country, meaning that most people are not as liberal as the rest of the world. Around 20 years after the war has ended, there are still present national tensions. So if you speak serbian and drive a serbian car you might be attacked if you are visiting small towns or villages on the Croatian coast. If you want to avoid this go to Istra. Zagreb also has racial, religion and nationality tensions. It's hard to believe that the capital city Zagreb, has so many problems while Istra does not?!

As a foreigner I get very frustrated since the government is super corrupted and refused to help not only me, but every honest and hard working Croat. The government is basically run by the "mob". They have been on the power for many years and each time they win an election they only make empty promises and rob the people blind. The citizens of Croatia constantly turn a blind eye to obvious corruption.

The worst part is the customs. do not order anything online to be shipped to croatia, wait for 2013 and then order! The tax and customs office is so corrupted that you would not believe it. The openly with no shame ask for bribes and yell and make racial insults.

Every time I go there (I have been there with friends) they yell and have constant racial insults. No one in the whole customs care or will resolve this problem. I strongly advise the EU to put these former lazy communist and make them work for there money, like everyone else in the world.

But don't panic! 50% of Croats are very nice but again 50% are just shockingly horrible people.

Keep in mind that the 40% honest people in Croatia are either starving or poor. The rich people in croatia became rich during the war and cannot be trusted. The middle class falls down to 5-10% they are also very nice people.

Most croats think they are Gods gift to the world. I always remind them that they are only a fish in a pond, not the ocean.
