Sažetak
This paper provides an overview of facts and figures on displaced and returnee population from and within Croatia, during the 1990s and in the post-war period. It also offers data on “new refugees” and discusses issues concerning asylum and irregular migration flows from the Croatian perspective. In May 2014, eastern Croatia, one of the most war-devastated areas, was hit by severe floods which, in turn, led to a new significant wave of endangered, temporary and involuntary displaced population. Therefore, in addition, the paper reflects upon recent events of this climate natural disaster as a sort of “a new cause” that induced forced displacement in the areas that had already experienced atrocities of the war. It also argues how these diverse categories of forced migrants and various causes of displacement contribute to the complexity of forced migration studies in the Croatian context.
