Millions of Croatians Outside their Homeland, One Shared Vision

For many years, the Croatian diaspora has contributed to the homeland through significant financial remittances comparable to some of the largest individual foreign investments. Knowledge, business experience, and international connections make the diaspora a resource of strategic importance for Croatia.

When we speak about the number of Croats around the world, we enter a space that is fascinating, emotional, and at the same time very complex. Today, it is often stated that the Croatian diaspora numbers around four million people. Their story has lasted for more than a century, from the first waves of emigration to the modern era of digital connectivity.
