History

The Club of Croatian returnees from emigration was established on 25 June 1997 in Zagreb, Croatia. It was founded as a non-governmental and non-partisan association of Croatian political and economic refugees who had returned to Croatia from abroad. The organization emerged in the post-independence period when many Croatian emigrants and their descendants considered returning to the newly independent state. Its stated goals include encouraging Croatian emigrants and former political and economic refugees to return to the homeland, assisting with their return and integration into Croatian society, connecting returnees, organizing mutual meetings and exchanges of experience, protecting the rights of returnees, and arranging expert and scientific round tables and symposia on the issues of return. The Club also aims to develop trust between returnees and Croatian citizens in the homeland through objective scientific, professional, or journalistic research and presentation of the history of Croatian political and economic emigration. It promotes optimism among Croatian emigrants about returning and encourages economic investment by Croatian emigrants in Croatia and the transfer of their cultural experience from abroad to benefit Croatia's economic development and the democratization of Croatian society. The organization operates under Croatian law as a civil society association and maintains a website at klub-povratnika.com.hr.
