Thanks for your praise. I studied at Split, now I'm going to Philosophy college there (History section). Yes, Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia but gained independence in 1995 after a long war. If you have any question just contact me. :-)
Thank you for your wonderful work in bringing the beauty of Croatia to the world. I will come in 2015 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of your independence. I will be going to Ireland in 2016 to celebrate their 100th anniversary for independence.
I was in Pula twice, but unfortunately didn't get the chance to see Rovinj. My mum and husband were there and they always say that visiting Rovinj is a must for Croatian coast lovers :)

I like this hub. Very well written. Your English is perfect. Where have you studied? Your photographs are beautiful. I believe Croatia was once part of Yugoslavia, correct? I visited Yugoslavia, but have not been back to that area since it became the various countries. Keep writing and I will definitely come to you for travel questions if I return to that area of the world.
