Sažetak
Demographic issues of contemporary Croatia have in the recent years witnessed the most negative trends ever. Natural decline of population and accelerated immigration during the last couple of years are determinants of increasingly significant decline of the overall number of inhabitants in the Republic of Croatia. The scope of migration balance, along with characteristics of immigration contingent relevant for the overall development of the country, imposes the necessity of analysis of migration of Croatian population to other countries. Methodological obstacles which hinder collection of data regarding spatial movement of Croatian population point to official statistics of recipient countries, which indicate that the proportions of exodus are significantly bigger in comparison with data from the Croatian bureau of statistics. Primary objective of this paper is to administer comparative analysis of data obtained from Croatian bureau of statistics and available statistical data for the other EU countries to which Croatian population to the largest extent immigrated, such as Germany, Austria, Ireland and Sweden, in order to establish true proportions and characteristics of the recent immigration wave.
