Summary: The project "Croats in European countries and contemporary migration" consists of eight themes. The first theme deals with Croatian migrant perspective in Europe in regard to changes which reflect upon Croatia, while the second one is concerned with demographical-statistical problems connected with population census and the attempt to establish actual indicators of Croats out of their homeland in European countries. The third topic presents the study of economic policies of EC, EFTA and the Republic of Croatia in regard to investments in Croatia and investments of Croatian migrants from European countries in Croatia, while the fourth one gives a comparative analysis of migration policies of Austria and Germany which can be used in the implementation of migration policy of the Republic of Croatia. The fifth theme is concerned with the transformation of temporary migration into permanent one as well as with the process and causes of naturalization and the sixth one with the language, culture and making of national classes. The seventh one deals with the situation of the second and third generation of migrants and in the final, eighth topic, interactions and conflicts between domestic and foreign cultures are studied.

Keywords: Croats, Europe, migration, migration policy, forced migration, integration of Europe, interculturalism, cultural identity

The establishment of advantages and defaults of the economic policies of EC, EFTA and the Republic of Croatia in the field of financial investments in Croatia; 4. Presentation of the effects of (mainly) the German migration policies and changes occuring in this policy; 5. Identification of the main factors which turn temporary migration into permanent one; 6. An attempt to synthetize the cognitions on the mother tongue of the children of Croatian migrants; 7. Establishing the conditions and possibilities of continuing the education, employment and the orientation towards the return of Croats to their country; 8. An attempt to define positive interactions and possibilities of joint living in multicultural environments.
