Abstract
The recent wave of emigration initiated by Croatia's entry into the European Union is analysed in this paper. The departure of the highly qualified population is the focus here. An attempt is made to provide insight into the key push and pull factors, or pressure and attracting factors of this phenomenon. At the same time, Croatia is compared with the (post)transitional members of the EU. After analysis of the approach to date towards this problem area and pointing out the negative outcomes of the interaction of the push and pull factors, this paper's additional contribution can be seen in the preliminary directions for creating public prevention polices for preventing brain drain, circulatory migration and the (re)integration of the highly qualified population.
