PRIVATE GUIDES OF Croatia
Damjan Beusan (Zagreb) - I am young, enthousiastic, talkative, easygoing and like to share my knowledge with others, specially when people respond so there can be even a communion. In my opinion my biggest quality would be optimisme and lightness, I do not take anything too serious, although that does not mean unprofessional.

The lands that today comprise Croatia were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until the close of World War I. In 1918, the Croats, Serbs, and Slovenes formed a kingdom known after 1929 as Yugoslavia. Following World War II, Yugoslavia became a federal independent Communist state under the strong hand of Marshal TITO. Although Croatia declared its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, it took four years of sporadic, but often bitter, fighting before occupying Serb armies were mostly cleared from Croatian lands. Under UN supervision, the last Serb-held enclave in eastern Slavonia was returned to Croatia in 1998. CLIMATE OF Croatia: Northern Croatia has a temperate continental climate whereas central, semi-mountainous and mountainous regions have a mountainous climate. RELIGION OF Croatia: Roman Catholic 87.8%, Orthodox 4.4%, Muslim 1.3%, other Christian 0.4%, others and unknown 6.1% POPULATION OF Croatia: 4,496,869 (July 2004 est.)> ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF Croatia: Before the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Croatia, after Slovenia, was the most prosperous and industrialized area, with a per capita output perhaps one-third above the Yugoslav average. The economy emerged from a mild recession in 2000 with tourism, banking, and public investments leading the way. Unemployment remains high, at over 13 percent, with structural factors slowing its decline. While macroeconomic stabilization has largely been achieved, structural reforms lag because of deep resistance on the part of the public and lack of strong support from politicians. Growth, while impressively over 4% for the last several years, has been achieved through high fiscal and current account deficits. The government is gradually reducing a heavy back log of civil cases, many involving land tenure. The EU accession process should accelerate fiscal and structural reform.
I am young, enthousiastic, talkative, easygoing and like to share my knowledge with others. I am 30 years old and live in Zagreb all my life and like this city and this country very much. I have a lot of education which I use in my guiding such as legal background, languages, sport, alternative ways of life.
