Poles in Croatia – history and present

Abstract

The article presents an outline of the history of the Polish minority in Croatia with a special focus on important events organised by this national group. The most important periods in the history of the Polish presence in Croatia are discussed, taking into account events from modern times to the present. The main places of Polish settlement in Croatian lands, both in the 19th century and in the present day, are presented, citing the most recent data from population censuses. The content of the article includes profiles of people who were connected with Croatia at various stages of their lives. Thus, a number of personalities from the world of culture, politics, economic or social life who influenced the further development of Polish-Croatian relations are singled out. All areas influencing the creation of Polish life are also described, especially over the last three decades. The legal status and social position of the Polish minority is presented, and a number of institutions supporting Polish groups in preserving their national identity on Croatian soil are indicated.
