Zakaj se se Međimorci smejejo?

Dolazi nam još jedna Nova godina no hoćemo li joj dozvoliti da bude samo još jedna u nizu Novih godina ili želimo da bude zaista nešto posebno, nešto što će vrijediti pamtiti i možda, zašto ne, još jednom proživjeti? Udruga Mlada pera želi vam svima da bude baš ona jedna posebna, prva od svih daljnjih posebnih Novih godina. Želimo vam i mi i zdravlja i sreće i ljubavi no želimo vam i još nešto…

Having a međimurka moment

Fantastic dessert served in the Međimurje region - Međimurska gibanica (with pumpkin ice cream next to it). It consists of four layers that contain poppy seeds, sweet curd cheese, walnuts and sour apples. #međimurje #medimurje #međimurskagibanica #foodporn #desert #CroLove #CroatiaFullOfLife #croatiafullofflavours #pumpkinicecream https://www.instagram.com/p/CfYkoxIsWjt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Despite Croatian small stature and insignificance, its proximity to the vast expanse of Mediterranean shoreline is absurd. The return of Bosnia and Croatia back to rest of Serb lands, which are more populous and culturally rich, makes more sense in terms of geopolitical considerations. After West destroyed Yugoslavia, all those small countries are just so irrelevant with no Belgrade to lead them. Do you believe that in the future, a greater number of Croats will embrace Yugoslav identity and begin to identify as Yugoslav and Serb instead of Croat?

i love these very obvious bait asks but let me entertain you. this is the last time im giving an actual answer to this.

1) there is no reason for croats to identify as serbs. yugoslavia means yugoslavia, it does not mean greater serbia. in general there is no need for any country in yugoslavia to identify as nationalistic, because the identity should be yugoslavian.

there is a reason why i always say im dalmatian in my posts, and why i call myself a yugoslav. croatian in my bio is there to simply let know which part of yugoslavia im from, because i dont expect many people to know about dalmatia.

2) croatia, serbia, montenegro, bosnia etc are INCREDIBLY culturally rich countries, to the point that croats argue within ourselves; dalmatian culture is very different than kvarner, theyre different than lika, thats different than zagorje, thats different than posavina, međimurje, etc. All these places have different types of food, music, dance, mentality, and even as croatian i cannot understand the dialect used in gruntovčani (and many people from zagreb will struggle with velo i malo misto), and i have trouble with istrian dialect, and they have problem with forski dialect. wherever you go in yugoslavia youll encounter these things.

3) why would croats "return to serb lands" when we have been on the adriatic shore since 7th century? im dalmatian, and we even carry name dalmatia from the illyrian delmati tribes due to assimilation. our culture is mediterranean, our dances and music are different than stereotypical slav-culture you may envision. along with četnik views i guess you also share them with italian iredentists? partizans - croatian, serbian, slovenian etc partizans died to liberate dalmatia from the fascists. tito knew the importance of adriatic shore, italians placed my people in camps and forced dalmatians to italianize our names.

p.s. od vardara do triglava was yugoslavian motto for a reason. yugoslavia was always supposed to be where it is.

4) "belgrade to lead" even with belgrade as the center josip broz tito was slovenian-croatian. and guess what? that doesnt even matter. the over-centralization and nationalism were problems after his death, and nationalism which YOU are propagating was not blameless in the fall of yugoslavia.

personally i have problems with zagreb centralization too before you start being annoying about my BOG I HRVATINE identity.

5) you see, i know you dont know what youre talking about because yugoslavia didnt seek to assimilate the identities. the regional identities were important - the NATIONALISTIC ones were the ones being discouraged, and those are different things. as a yugoslav you are SUPPOSED to say "the adriatic shore is mine, the panonian sea is mine, the dinara hills are mine, i wasnt born there but these things are things of my people, for i am yugoslavian, and as yugoslavian slavonija and hercegovina and srem and vojvodina are mine, because those are my people, thats my homeland".

and thats why i have lepa brena in my bio. because "oči su mi more jadransko, kosa mi je klasje panonsko, sestra mi je duša slovenska, ja sam jugoslovenka" is incredibly beautiful and brena always kept the yu identity and the beautiful diversity it encompassed. and still is today. you think that differences are yugoslavian downfall and not strength, and that it should divide us and not unite us. you dont see the "we love your splitian music and your beautiful city :) greetings from belgrade" and "my best memories are from sarajevo, greetings from zagreb" and you dont hear belgradians telling me "haha we love your accent! the coffee is free for you :)" when i visited, and you dont see the waiter which was serving me and my serbian guests here in neretva, who said "of course we will make turkish coffee for you, take these free pancakes for your kid, you have a long drive ahead" and you dont see or hear the differences in exyu bands, the music which is fantastic and still holds up, because zabranjeno pušenje and daleka obala were very different and that diversity made for a rich cultural scene.

and why do i think you dont see any of this? because im sure, so very sure, that you dont speak serbian, nor croatian, nor bosnian, nor macedonian, nor slovenian, nor montenegrin. i am very certain you are not a yugoslav yourself.

you are a reactionary looking to instigate shit and a mindset that new yugoslavia cannot be built on. you are looking to divide people. you are sending these things on purpose. and i may be an idiot for catching on, but i felt this needed to be said.

and this is the last time im adressing this bullshit. next time send a message in serbo-croatian. im not going to answer these things in english anymore.

why would we be discussing our yugoslavian homeland in a foreign language?

p.s. you can keep sending this shit but my dads side of family is serbian you absolute idiot, and a part of my moms family is serbian as well. hardest part of visiting belgrade is choosing which cousins to stay with and how to not offend either of them.

(…when i went to search for your blog i just searched jana hoping it’ll give me the result) hello jana today i watched a video abt medimurska gibanica and it seems really interesting. have you ever had it? :)

hiiii adam <3 i've never had međimurska gibanica. i don't actually know how common it is outside of međimurje. tbh it's probably available in cake shops but i've never noticed it bc i don't like poppy seeds so i'd probably never have it anyway hrbfjhwk a few of my friends are from međimurje so maybe i should ask them if it's tasty

“Ček, ček, ček malo Zvone, a di je 5. kolo?” Eee, peto kolo je odigrano prije dva tjedna, u vrijeme kad su se U17 reprezentativke borile u Euro U17 kvalifikacijama!

Assistant Professor Ricky Fergurson has spent a month as a visiting lecturer at Faculty of Organization and Informatics, University of Zagreb. This visit is a result of bilateral cooperation between Indiana State University and University of Zagreb, Faculty of Organization and Informatics, and we hope it is just the beginning of a successful academic cooperation story.

Professor Fergurson specializes in marketing and operations and has been incredibly cooperative, open-minded, and friendly. Due to his active involvement, we kept him quite busy. The professor delivered lectures in six different courses at both the bachelor and master level, Informatics and Economics study programs.

Additionally, he delivered a keynote speech at FOI International Days 2023 where he also participated as a panelist, as well as presented and participated at the 11th Students' Research Symposium. Thank you for being so engaged!

Throughout his time at FOI, he had the opportunity to shortly visit various parts of Croatia, including Međimurje County, the capital city of Zagreb, the breathtaking Plitvice Lakes, as well as the charming cities of Zadar, Split, and Dubrovnik.

FOI students and staff have developed a strong fondness for this special guest. (Text from FOI International.)
