Sažetak

The focus of the analysis is attachment to Europe and Croatia as an indirect
measure of identity. Variables used to explain these different attachments are
demographic, social and ideological. The attachment to Croatia is best explained
by the ideological variables, with those being more nationalistic, religious, socially
conservative having a closer attachment to Croatia. Closeness to Europe, on the
other hand, is more determined by social variables like occupational position. People
with a higher position within the division of labour and decision-making processes
feel closer to Europe compared with those lower down on the occupational
scale.
We have found positive correlation between the attachments to Europe and Croatia.
The attachment to Europe does not replace the national identification but can be
seen as a part of the process of the broadening of the identity space. The European
identification is not in contradiction with the national identification, but rather an
expansion of it.
