Abstract
The article is an attempt at indicating if not solving the rather chaotic situation in the adaptation of foreign place names in the more or less traditional Croatian texts, the less traditional referring mostly to the media of which several local newspapers as well as the national television are quoted. Most of the quotes contain the grapheme U as an example of a multitude of reflections and rules whether it adapts in its singular or combined forms. The need of an overall project is suggested, such as the one realized in Poland whereby an extensive list of toponyms was produced as adapted to Polish collected by a huge body of
scientists and experts on a large number of languages that those toponyms originated from. Such a project would resolve many doubts encountered every day by the media, cartographers and in other situations which require adaptation of foreign place names and which therefore require joint efforts of experts assembled in a single ongoing venture.
