Interaction as a Key Connective Tissue of Refugee Integration in Croatian Society

The paper focuses on studying the experiences of integration of persons that have received international protection in the Republic of Croatia. It places emphasis on the interactive dimension of integration: the significance of social connections and relationships that these persons establish with the members of the receiving country and local community. The field research lasted for two and a half years (from 2015 to 2017) and was based on qualitative ethnological and cultural anthropological methodology. By examining the life experiences of refugees, meeting with them frequently and conducting interviews with them, the importance of the passing of time in integration was observed, as well as the importance of the moment in the research of integration processes.
