ABOUT CROATIA

Did you know?

Croatia is a country located at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe. Its coast lies entirely on the Adriatic Sea. It borders Slovenia to the northwest, Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro to the southeast, and shares a maritime border with Italy to the west. Its capital and largest city, Zagreb, forms one of the country's primary subdivisions, with twenty counties. Other major urban centers include Split, Rijeka, and Osijek. The country spans 56,594 square kilometers (21,851 square miles), and has a population of nearly 3.9 million.

The Croats arrived in modern-day Croatia in the late 6th century, then part of Roman Illyria. By the 7th century, they had organized the territory into two duchies. Croatia was first internationally recognized as independent on 7 June 879 during the reign of Duke Branimir. Tomislav became the first king by 925, elevating Croatia to the status of a kingdom. During the succession crisis after the Trpimirović dynasty ended, Croatia entered a personal union with Hungary in 1102. In 1527, faced with Ottoman conquest, the Croatian Parliament elected Ferdinand I of Austria to the Croatian throne. In October 1918, the State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, independent from Austria-Hungary, was proclaimed in Zagreb, and in December 1918, it merged into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Following the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, most of Croatia was incorporated into a Nazi-installed puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia. A resistance movement led to the creation of the Socialist Republic of Croatia, which after the war became a founding member and constituent of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. On 25 June 1991, Croatia declared independence, and the War of Independence was successfully fought over the next four years.

Croatia is a republic and a parliamentary liberal democracy. It is a member of the European Union, the Eurozone, the Schengen Area, NATO, the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, the World Trade Organization, a founding member of the Union for the Mediterranean, and is currently in the process of joining the OECD. An active participant in United Nations peacekeeping, Croatia contributed troops to the International Security Assistance Force and was elected to fill a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council in the 2008–2009 term for the first time.

Croatia is a developed country with an advanced high-income economy and ranks 40th in the Human Development Index. Service, industrial sectors, and agriculture dominate the economy. Tourism is a significant source of revenue for the country with nearly 20 million tourist arrivals as of 2019. Since 2000s, the Croatian government has heavily invested in infrastructure, especially transport routes and facilities along the Pan-European corridors. Croatia has also positioned itself as a regional energy leader in the early 2020s and is contributing to the diversification of Europe's energy supply via its floating liquefied natural gas import terminal off Krk island, LNG Hrvatska. Croatia provides social security, universal health care, and tuition-free primary and secondary education while supporting culture through public institutions and corporate investments in media and publishing.

HOW MUCH DOES A PHOTOGRAPHER COST IN CROATIA?

The cost of hiring a photographer in Croatia can vary based on factors such as the photographer's experience, the type of photography services needed, the duration of the shoot, and the specific location within Croatia. Different photographers may have different pricing structures.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the average hourly rate for a photographer in Croatia could range from 300 Croatian Kuna (HRK) to 1,000 HRK or more. Wedding photographers, portrait photographers, and commercial photographers may have varying rates.

To get an accurate and up-to-date estimate, I recommend reaching out to photographers in your specific location within Croatia, specifying your photography needs, and requesting quotes. You can find photographers through online directories, social media platforms, or by asking for recommendations from locals or online communities. Keep in mind that prices may have changed since my last update, so it's crucial to get the most recent information directly from the photographers you are considering.

Can tourists get married in CROATIA?

Yes, tourists can get married in Croatia. However, there are specific legal requirements and procedures that must be followed. Here are some key points to consider.

WHAT KIND OF PAPERWORK DO WE NEED TO GET MARRIED IN CROATIA?

To get married in Croatia, whether you are a resident or a tourist, you will need to complete certain paperwork. The specific requirements can vary, so it's crucial to contact the municipal registrar's office (Matični ured) in the specific location where you plan to marry for the most accurate and up-to-date information. However, here is a general list of documents commonly required for a marriage in Croatia:

  1. Valid Passports: Both parties will typically need to provide valid passports as proof of identity.

  2. Birth Certificates: Original or certified copies of your birth certificates may be required. These documents may need to be translated into Croatian by an official translator.

  3. Certificate of Marital Status: A certificate of marital status (Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage) may be required. This document confirms that you are not currently married. Some countries issue this certificate, while others may provide a similar document with a different name.

  4. Proof of Residence: In some cases, you may be required to provide proof of residence in your home country.

  5. Evidence of Legal Capacity to Marry: This document may be required and is often provided by your country's embassy or consulate in Croatia.

  6. Divorce Decree or Death Certificate (if applicable): If either party has been previously married, a divorce decree or the death certificate of the former spouse may be required.

  7. Translation and Apostille: Documents issued in a language other than Croatian may need to be translated into Croatian by an official translator. Some documents may also require an Apostille, which is a certification that verifies the authenticity of the document.

  8. Application Form: You may need to complete an application form provided by the municipal registrar's office.

  9. Fee Payment: There may be fees associated with the marriage process, such as administrative fees or fees for specific services.

It's important to note that requirements may vary between different municipalities in Croatia, and the information provided here is a general guideline. Contact the relevant municipal registrar's office well in advance of your planned wedding date to confirm the specific documents required and the procedures to follow. Additionally, consider consulting with local authorities or seeking assistance from a wedding planner or legal advisor to ensure a smooth process.

What is a CROATIAN wedding like?

Croatian weddings are joyful celebrations that blend rich traditions, cultural influences, and modern elements. Here are some key aspects of a traditional Croatian wedding:

  1. Engagement Traditions: Before the wedding, there may be an engagement ceremony where the couple formally announces their intention to marry. This may involve the exchange of rings and a celebration with close family and friends.

  2. Pre-Wedding Customs: On the wedding day, various pre-wedding customs may take place. The "svecanica" involves the groom's family coming to the bride's house to escort her to the wedding venue. It can include symbolic rituals, such as breaking a plate for good luck.

  3. Dressing in Traditional Attire: Croatian brides often wear white dresses, while grooms may wear formal suits or traditional folk costumes. The choice of attire can be influenced by the region and the couple's preferences.

  4. Religious Ceremony: Many Croatians choose to have a religious ceremony, particularly if they are Roman Catholic. The ceremony takes place in a church and is officiated by a priest. Even for those who have a civil ceremony, the church ceremony holds significant cultural importance.

  5. Civil Ceremony: A civil ceremony at the municipal registrar's office is required for legal recognition of the marriage. This typically takes place before or after the religious ceremony.

  6. Wedding Procession: A traditional wedding procession involves the groom, bride, and their families walking from the bride's home to the wedding venue. This may include lively music, singing, and dancing along the way.

  7. Blessing with Bread and Salt: Upon arrival at the wedding venue, the couple is often greeted with bread and salt, symbolizing prosperity, hospitality, and the essentials of life.

  8. Exchange of Rings: The exchange of wedding rings is a symbolic and meaningful part of the ceremony.

  9. Traditional Music and Dance: Croatian weddings are known for lively music and dancing. The "kolo," a traditional circle dance, is often performed, and guests join in the festivities.

  10. Feast and Toasts: The wedding reception includes a festive meal with traditional Croatian dishes. It is common for guests to offer toasts to the newlyweds throughout the celebration.

  11. Wedding Cake: A wedding cake is a common feature, and cutting the cake together is a special moment for the couple.

  12. Gifts and Well-Wishing: Guests often bring gifts for the newlyweds, and it's customary for the couple to receive well-wishing speeches and blessings.

Croatian weddings are diverse, and the specifics can vary based on regional customs, family traditions, and personal preferences. Modern weddings in Croatia may also incorporate global trends, making each celebration unique to the couple.

All Kind oF weddings and ELOPEMENTS

Weddings vary greatly across different cultures, traditions, and personal preferences. Here's a brief overview of various types of weddings:

  1. Traditional Weddings: These weddings typically follow cultural or religious customs and traditions specific to a particular community or region. Examples include Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, and Buddhist weddings, each with its own rituals and ceremonies.

  2. Civil Weddings: Also known as courthouse weddings, civil weddings are officiated by a government official, such as a judge, justice of the peace, or a civil marriage commissioner. They often involve a simple ceremony with legal vows and minimal formalities.

  3. Destination Weddings: Couples choose to have their weddings at a location away from their hometown, often in exotic or picturesque destinations. These weddings can range from intimate beach ceremonies to elaborate events at luxury resorts.

  4. Outdoor Weddings: Held in natural settings such as gardens, parks, vineyards, or beaches, outdoor weddings offer a scenic backdrop for the ceremony and reception. They often embrace nature and incorporate elements like floral decorations and outdoor activities.

  8. Micro Weddings: In intimate gatherings with a small guest list, micro weddings prioritize quality time with loved ones over the scale of the event. They often involve fewer than 50 guests and can be more budget-friendly and personalized.

  9. Multicultural Weddings: Couples from different cultural backgrounds blend their traditions and customs to create a unique wedding experience that honors both of their heritages. These weddings celebrate diversity and foster cultural exchange.

  10. Virtual Weddings: In response to circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, couples may choose to host virtual weddings, where guests participate remotely via video conferencing platforms.
