10 Ways Osijek Changed in 2023 (Croatian Subtitles)

What happens if you start to look at Croatia with the glass half full?

There is a lot of negativity in Croatia and many problems for sure. But there are also lots of good things happening. In the first in a major new video series, Croatia, When the Glass is Half Full, we will be working with local adminstrations to show how their destinations are improving on the ground, away from tourism - EU funds, environment, kindergartens, infrastructure etc. so celebrate progress on the local level, and to show that while yes there are problems, there is also much to celebrate as well. I am very grateful to Grad Osijek for being our first partners in this endeavour, and we have also recently filmed in partnership with the administrations of Vukovar, Vinkovci and Slavonski Brod.

Been there few years ago and was very pleasantly surprised, looking forward to a new trip soon :)

I moved from Dubrovnik to Osijek, I have to admit that I find Osijek much more pleasant to live in.
And now Dubrovnik is more pleasant for me when I only come in the spring and autumn🙂

Pozdrav od bivšeg Os studenta iz 90 - ih. Cestitke Osijeku. Promjene su veličanstvene i zaslužene.

Some Croats ( Dalmatians ) have never been to Slavonia. In his own country, which is quite sad. They don't know what they're missing.

Big shout out to my favorite Minister of Tourism..

Wow, for an Englishman to pronounce "Tvrđa" - with all those consonants - so perfectly... As a guy from Osijek (and an English interpreter who's had experience with foreigners trying to pronounce Croatian words and names), I have to say it's impressive.

Best place to live in Croatia. I choose this city and you will see how is Osijek from 2021 to these days. Regards

Mosquito 6:01 My experience in Osijek in 2023 was very pleasant, no Mosquito bites at all! I congratulate the local authorities on this success. I hope in future they don't resort to lab created GM mosquitos that has been tried in many parts of the world for decades with dismal success rates.

I'm born in Osijek, and I live in Osijek all my life. Changes are obvious in last few years because we got great, young and modern mayor who actually cares. It's not just a trend, it's because of politics.

Osijek is my hometown, and frankly I moved to Zagreb to find work. Outside of the poor employment opportunities and an overall lackluster social climate (aging population due to emigration), it's a relatively nice place to live in. Not all bad by any means, but hardly a vibrant place either. I loved the video, though. Thanks for visiting Osijek!

[hrvojepetrovic]

Thank you for the completely free advertising for our town... But still, you should have included our new stadium in the script you were given to read. Imagine reporting on 10 things about London in 1923 and not mentioning Wembley just because it was built by Hungarians.

[Phiyedough]

That is impressive about the mosquitoes. Last year we had a very wet Spring which provided perfect breeding conditions for them.

Kao stanovnik Osječkog područja smatram da je ovaj video jako čudan... Nekako mi izgleda kao predizborni video našeg gradonačelnika. Izgradili smo ovo, obnovili ono, bla bla... Ne sumnjam u dobre namjere autora ali ovo nije objektivan video

Slavonian friend told me of a Dutch agricultural firm wanting to open up in Slavonija and buy abandoned land . There was so much corruption and red tape they left after 2 months of trying . This is a complete and total disgrace Local officials are expert at claiming EU funds but fail to assist in development opportunities . You do not hear stories like this !!

My cousins live in the west end by the mall and ten minutes walk to the new stadium.
