Croatia, When the Glass is Half Full: Sveta Nedelja

- Croatia is a bureaucratic, corrupt country, with huge emigration and no jobs. Or so you hear it said. Meet a corner of Croatia just 15 minutes outside of Zagreb where nothing could be further from the truth. Population sharply up, jobs even more so, new kindergartens, free public transport, the biggest private investment in the whole country, as well as completely transparent local government, and consistently voted the best town for doing business in all Croatia. An alternative view on how government can be run in Croatia, as we continue our series, Croatia, When the Glass is Half Full with 10 Ways Sveta Nedelja is Improving. Made in partnership with Grad Sveta Nedelja.
You Sir as a British Citizen ( or were ) is doing a beautiful job of showcasing Croatia. I'm from a Slovenian background born in Australia love to see Anglo's appreciating our Balkan/Slavic Culture. God Bless.
Whats your last name? Ate you from metlika area maybe ?
Hrvatska, a ni Slovenija, nisu Balkan.
Pola HR to nije ni zemljopisno,a kamoli kulturološki.
Na Balkanu prevladava bliskoistočna,orijentalna kultura.
Kod nas su to izuzeci.
@@MirkoAbel-n6f To me, I don't care whether we're Balkan or not. I think it's originally a Turkish term to describe a mountainous area.
@@Final_Cut_FF 😜😜😜😜🙉🙉🙉😂😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
@@MirkoAbel-n6f What do these stupid Emojis mean??

Living sixty years ago in Kalinovica, I remember Sveta Nedelja as a small village. Its proximity to Zagreb and Samobor was the perfect location for such phenomenal development. Is there any place in the World with a similar story to this new city?
Yeah, many in fact, e.g. dugopolje near split was just a meadow with few old houses in the 80s, now a bustling town with few thousands people and growing, football stadium, foreign school and other things, very similar story in fact, just even more astonishing giving it's hinterland dalmatia.
I'm more coastal type of person but this also looks great for living.
👍
Svaka cast gradonacelniku...vidi se da nije iz kradeze stranke.
Vidim brišu se komentari...
No comments deleted so far, so not sure I understand. We delete only for hate speech and people being irritating.
@PaulBradbury why can't I reply under my own comment then? 4 times I tried...
@@osmaks1518 no idea. Ask TH-cam. We don't delete comments apart from the reasons mentioned. You seem to be able to comment here...
@@PaulBradbury weird stuff..
That's all fancy and nice, but we are slowly becoming mortgage/loans slaves here in Croatia.
A very different Croatia that even 10 years ago. All that fancy stuff comes at a great price, your freedom.
The most important thing, housing, is out of reach for most younger generations even with the 25 year slave contract..
Not to mention the new taxes that the government is implementing.
In 15 years we'll be just another overpriced and overtaxed sh*th*le!
Perhaps, but your claim that it's sonething new is invalid, housing wise the 90s and 00s were much much worse in fact, giving the purchase power and availability, a square meter was perhaps half than today, but the wages were a quarter or a third at best.
None of young families here in croatia moved to their own houses ir flats, maybe 10% of privileged ones, all the others just built a new story onto their parent's houses at best, so your point is invalid, looks like some facebook education again.
@dannyboy-vtc5741 your statistics and thinking are invalid. In the 2000s you could go to Germany or other countries, work for 2-3 years and come back to buy a 20-30,000€ house or apartment with cash and 0 credit. You could even get a nice apartment in Knin for less than 10,000€! And just to explain the obvious thing to you, nobody could've bought a house on minimum wage, not in the past, not now and especially not in the future. And that's anywhere, any country!
My sister bought an apartment 10 years ago for 30,000€, the same apartment costs 120.000€ now in 2025.
The wages certainty didn't quadruple like real estate in the past 10 years.
Cost of ownership and utilities at least doubled if not tripled in the past decade.
Now you have apartments that cost you 1000€ a month in Zagreb, which is insanity..
It is way more difficult to buy anything without a slave contract these days than it was back in the day. And it's getting worse every year.
But if you like to be a slave, I guess it's excellent for you, enjoy!
@@osmaks1518 nope i'm not a slave, i own my own house, two actually thankd to confirming you had to go to a foreign land and be their slave to buy an apartment.
When i studied the studio flat went for 400 hundread in zagreb a month, and minimal wage was less than that, but i guessed your education level if nothing else, you still have cheap houses and apartments outside big cities, plenty in fact, that's why i keep my gramps house that is three times closer to the center than mine is, i won't sell for peanuts.
But you can compare apples to oranges all you want, you can earn in two years for a house in slavonia or banovina somewhere in the west, you can't for a flat in zagreb or split you never could.
Again huge mahority of young families in the 90s or 00s did not buy their own property, that's a fact, and you can try to twist it all you want.
@@osmaks1518 and what do you think drives the prices up, prople not being able to afford it and lessening the demand, so the prices are going up because of it?
Don't pretend like housing was ever good here, it wasn't, even i socialism it wasn't, not for everyone.
@@osmaks1518 so, you give anegotal examples, let me give you some, i live in a small rural town in slavonia, not in town, but the suburbia of rural town, far enough that you can't live without a car, some 5 km from the center.
In my small street of some 30 houses, 4 or 5 were empty since the owners past away, some for 20 years sat empty and couldn't sell, and it wasn't some old houses, the entire area was built in the 80s, so decenta houses with big plots of land, really huge for any urban area.
But they didn't sell in the zeros, they didn't sell in the teens, they all sold in this decade, all young families moved in, and that's the story in every street of the settlement, how do you explain that?
Yes the housing prices are going up everywhere, but your dumb right wing agenda how somehow it's worse than before here, it's just plain stupid, just before people didn't even think about buying a realestate, if you could build it from scratch, you built it, to buy one, you could if you went abroad or had some scheme here, now everyone thinks they arw entitled to buy one, nah you're not, you can't live on social media and afford a house.
It is Croatian culture not Balkan or Slavic Thank you
Do you know anything about history of this country, and what they did in WW2 ?
I'll tell you what they did in WW2. Although they were not directly threatened by the fascist regime, they organized the first official anti-fascist unit on the territory of occupied Europe (Sisacki odred, google it!). They led the most successful resistance movement on the territory of Europe (Josip Broz Tito+ so called "10% communists from the cities", google it!). Ethnic Croats made up 25% of the total number of anti-fascist fighters (although only 20% of the total population of Yugoslavia, google it!). The uprising among ethnic Serbs was started by Marko Oreskovic(google him!), an ethnic Croat to whom the Serbs sang "comrade Marko is of Croatian descent, but he is the mother of the Serbian people".
That's what the Croats did in WW2, and you can choke on you're cheap Parisian salami, you envious rags.
You mean about first Judenfrei city in Europe or about concentration camps Banjica, Sajmište, Topovske šupe,...?
Do you know the history of England, Germany, France, Spain or Portugal? Should their past be mentioned any time those countries are spoken of?
@@vrado441 why you are deleting comments? Let talk about serbian past during WW2, ....about first judenfrai city in Europe, or about concentracion camps Sajmište, Banjica, Topovske šupe...
Sto je bilo, odrpani tamanitelju jeftine salame, brises komentare? Tesko se preseravati u sekciji komentara kad ti covjek nabroji cinjenice provjerljive cak i na obicnoj wikipediji. Umjesto sto crkavas od zavisti na svaki pomen Hrvatske, rade ucini nesto korisno za vlastitu vukojebinu, koju vecina ljudi ionako percipira bliskim istokom, a ne Europom.
Pogotovo kad vas vidi takve musave.
