Dear Mr Bach -
I am writing to you with a hope that you would find time to answer to a number of impertinent questions attached to this letter. The matter of fact is that my institution (Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies in Zagreb) is about to start a research concerning Croatian recent Diaspora in States, including various associations. The attached protocol is addressed to initiators and organizers of associations. It is my understanding that you are among the most prominent among them; therefore, we would appreciate very much if you could have a look at the attached protocol and answer the questions you would find relevant for your activities. Thanks in advance,
Srdacno

Dear Crown subscribers and readers,
Please assist Dr. Silvia Meznaric and Dr. Sasa Bozic. My suggestion is to ask them directly to send a Croatian and English Questionnaire in MS Word and therefore you can fill it on your own computer and send it back via email.
If we do not participate and we do not share... we can not complain about it. PARTICIPATE !
best,
Nenad Bach

In the Croatian social sciences the research of the activities of Croatian emigrants in the countries of immigration was neglected. Croatian migrant associations as institutionalised forms of national unity of the emigrants form the activity and identity of large number of Croatian migrants and their descendants. They influence the integration of migrants in the new societies, their attitude towards naturalisation, assimilation or remigration. They can influence the formation of new Croatian minorities in the countries of the EU as well as in other countries. The social, cultural and political differences between the migrant communities in Western Europe and overseas countries are neglected as well. In Croatian scientific and political public life many actors usually point to the activities of "Diaspora", "Croatian migrants", "Croatia abroad" however they haven't tried to treat the problem in a methodical, systematic manner. The influences on the Croatian migrant communities were not researched nor their influence on the society of immigration. Their influence on national, international and transnational flows and processes were not researched. This is why the Institute for migration and ethnic studies started the research which goals are:
1. To describe Croatian migrant communities within the context of contemporary migration flows and multiculturalism.
2. To explore the statistical data about Croatian citizens and Croats in general, residing in the countries of Western Europe and overseas, estimate their number and spacial distribution.
3. To define structure and patterns of communities’ organisation; how they develop, reproduce and imagine themselves.
4. To explore differences among them in receiving countries determined by these countries’ different models of political belonging and to define and explain differences between Croatian communities related to time and mode of their emergence and distance from the country of origin.
Your help in the fulfilment of the goals of this research has almost the greatest value because you are an expert in this field who lives daily with problems and successes of your association, club, society. This is why we kindly ask you to take time for our questionnaire and to answer our questions and thus help Croatian social sciences as well as Croatian public to understand the activities of Croats in diaspora. Your anwers will be used for the scientific purposes only. Your answers will not be published under your name without your explicite verification.
