The Master Plan is being successfully implemented: More than 47,000 people left Croatia last year, while Istria is only a demographic.

The City of Zagreb and Istria County are the only Croatian counties in which more people have moved in total last year than out of them

They show this latest data on national statistics on migration of the population of Croatia in 2017. According to these data, in the City of Zagreb last year, a total of 13,578 people arrived, which from other parts of Croatia, from abroad, moved out of the metropolis - again, to other parts of Croatia, or abroad - a total of 12,755 inhabitants.

The total migration balance for Zagreb was, therefore, positive, since the metropolis was given, as the CBS data shows, 1,003 new inhabitants. Last year, a total of 3,516 people moved to Istria, while 2,517 inhabitants emigrated from Istria. When the line is underlined, this means that the westernmost county, according to the CBS data, received a total of 999 new inhabitants in the process of internal and external migrations last year.

The worst in Slavonia

All other Croatian counties were in the demographic minus, which means that more people out of them emigrated than they moved. The worst was the last Vukovar-Srijem County, which lost 5,665 people in internal and external migrations, and the Osijek-Baranja County, which in 2017 recorded a demographic deficit of 5,460 people, was equally bad.

The situation is alarming in Brodsko-Posavska County, which lost 3.701 inhabitants last year, as well as in Sisak-Moslavina, which was demographic loss of 3.596 people, according to the CBS data. In total, 71,580 citizens changed their place in Croatia last year. When it comes to external migrations, that is, the eviction from Croatia and the immigration into it, the CBS data show that 47,352 people left Croatia last year, which is approximately the city of Varaždin, which was recently published by novice.hr.

It is the largest number of emigrants since joining the EU in 2013. Here, however, it must be said that these figures are based on data on the abolition of residence, which citizens themselves give to police stations, which in fact means that they are incomplete, since many new emigrants do not sign a dwelling. However, it is not ruled out that last year more than a few people reportedly abandoned their place of residence in Croatia, but only after spending a year abroad and seeing how they would be in the new environment.

Most went to Germany

The majority of Croats who moved abroad last year, 63.9 percent, went to Germany. Austria, and Ireland, are also among the countries in which the significant share of Croatian citizens migrated in 2017, 5.9 percent. Emigration in Austria is particularly interesting, since it is the only EU member that has not yet opened the door to its labor market. A significant number of emigrants from Croatia went to BiH, 5.1 percent, and 4.9 percent in Serbia, according to the CBS data.

At the same time, 15,553 new inhabitants arrived in Croatia last year, of which approximately half are those with a Croatian passport, largely from BiH. When the number of foreigners taken away from the number emigrated abroad, it follows that Croatia last year had a negative migration balance of 31,799 people. In addition, all counties, except Istria, had a demographic minus in external migrations. Namely, 1.859 people came to Istria last year, while 1,543 people moved abroad from abroad.

Even the City of Zagreb last year had a negative balance in external migrations, since 3,715 people moved to the metropolis from abroad in 2017, while 6,814 citizens emigrated abroad. In both external and internal migrations last year, men and women were more involved. A little less than half of the total number of immigrants overseas, or 48 percent of them, was, according to the CBS data, at the age of 20 to 39 years.

As we see, the government in the country only talks about the measures to stop the eviction of young people, but that all remains in words. The eviction is only the result of the destruction of the state over the past 28 years, and we have to wonder how will it be solved overnight? Simply .... no way! It's like it's all part of a master plan that wants to destroy the citizens of this country.
