Croatia’s capital Zagreb, has many things to offer an immigrating family, student or others considering relocating there. The city is often described as a smaller Vienna as much of the architecture and city plans are a replica of the style of those in Vienna. It is home to a quarter of the country’s population and is situated inland in the north of the Republic. It is a romantic city, characterised by the architecture, parks and couples sitting on benches or walking hand in hand through the city. For those who enjoy a peaceful environment, wandering through the city and a place where everything is in close proximity, you cannot help but fall in love with the city itself. Accomodation in Zagreb is not difficult to find but may come with a high price tag.  At the moment, real estate prices are higher than the average in the European Union.  There is a national rumour that because of this, prices will fall when Croatia becomes a member state of the EU.  However, a booming tourism industry contradicts this idea and implies that prices will rise instead.  The currency is the HR Kuna, which has remained stable against the euro and other currencies for the past five years.  One euro can buy you just over seven kunas. - Relocate in Croatia, why?

Croatia - The Yachtsman’s Haven - Residency - Real Estate & Yachting on The Dalmatian Coast - In previous issues of Escape From America Magazine we detailed some amazing properties you can buy overseas for $150,000 or less . The following week we listed properties available at $100,000 or less and then what you can buy on an even lower budget of $75,000.   This week, part 4 of our 4 part series, we are going to show you what $50,000 will buy.  We looked for homes that were ready to move in to, or needed very little in the way of renovation.   Instead of providing the links to the properties featured in this article we are listing them on a separate newsletter which is free and easy to subscribe to.  This is so that we can keep you up to date with properties in a price bracket that suits your pocket.  Subscription details are given at the end of the article.

Dalmatia: Croatia's Adriatic Riviera - John Hurd is a former aerospace manager and an amateur writer, painter, poet.  Today, he and his wife live on the Dalmatian Coast. John writes, "You can feel it in the air, in the shining white yachts visiting the Adriatic harbors, in the industrious village renovations by the local people, in the sheer number and richness of the websites: something big is about to happen.  There’s a feeling of widening awareness, rippling out from this narrow band of Europeans.  This year, the beauty and timelessness of the islands got top story headlines in the New York Times. The region is on the verge of a market explosion."

Italian dental tourists find affordable care in Croatia - Several years ago I worked as an export manager in a Croatian company and had the opportunity to become familiar with different cultures, traditions and specifics of different markets. In the early stages of medical tourism in Croatia, we recognized the wide variety of inquiries, approaches and ways of communicating with our patients. Different patients from different countries come to us (and they come to us from all around the world); and in some ways the origin of the patient pre-defines the way of communication.  One of the great advantages of my job, and things that provide great pleasure to me, is to meet new people, new cultures, and new customs.

Living in Europe There's No Place I'd Rather be - For many Americans the best fringe benefit of a relocation to Europe is the opportunity for accessible travel through a continent with incredible cultural diversity. Of course, there are the destinations that anyone on a two-to-three year residency will have on their "must see" list, but few people will return to the US without some village, region, resort or city occupying a special place in their recollections of traveling through Europe. Those who stay a little longer often have the chance to range a bit farther and perhaps to form a long-term bond with a particular place. Clare Sievers asked six prominent US citizens resident in Europe to share their thoughts on a favorite holiday destination.

A Guide to Homologizing Your Car - Our tale begins in Moscow, early in this century. My wife and I, American expats working in Russia, were buying a house on the sunny, Mediterranean coast of Croatia. At that time, before a much-heralded “reform,” a foreigner wishing to buy real estate in far-away Croatia had to begin by sending an application to the Croatian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the capital city of Zagreb. After preliminary review, the application would be sent to the Ministry of Justice for further review and then back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for follow up review. The process took two to three years, depending on how much “review” was needed. That was okay with me. I knew that things take time in government. I had myself worked in Washington, home to the world’s only superpower bureaucracy. On some days, I knew, it could be very difficult to move a document out of the outbox of one civil servant and into the inbox of another civil servant. That was a universal truth. In Croatia, this truth came at you without mercy. At one point, after a year or so of waiting, we got word from Croatia that our application had reached the desk of the right Zagreb bureaucrat, but then the individual got sick (or was transferred, or got pregnant, I can no longer remember).

Roving Capitalist Shares His Secrets of Uncovering Gold Mines - Emerging market run-ups are being fueled by the trillions of dollars trying to find a temporary home. When that home starts growing mold, the trillions will pack up and head back to civilization (provided capital controls don’t stop them at the border). We have a long list of solid companies with solid management and sound business models that we are watching while we wait for the right opportunity to buy. If we recommend something along the way, it’s because a particular company or security satisfies our comfort level. But right now so few do that we are buying gold and real estate and husbanding cash for the big opportunity. Remember that the key to real success is to be bold when others are timid and timid when others are bold. Today, as we raise our field glasses to survey the investment and speculative battlefield, our helmets are pulled down low and our knees are trembling. We’re not just timid but downright cowardly. Our only boast is that we have the courage to admit it.

Beware the Swinging Pendulum: Understanding Inflection Points - As global speculators and investors looking to grow and protect our wealth, we are constantly on the look out for shifts in the social, geopolitical and economic landscape. As members of the Without Borders community understand, we have recently entered a period of change that will prove as significant as the end of the Cold War.  This seismic shift is one of four central themes we expect to influence every aspect of your and our lives over the next decade or more.  We call this shift the rise of the Politiconomy: the hostile merger of politics and economics. In the western world, there was once a clear distinction between politics and economics.  During the cold war if politicians were to even hint at state intervention in the economy they were branded ¨pinko¨ and their career ended shortly thereafter.
