Looks like they are rebuilding something but after 4 years? I guess the ownership paperwork for many of these properties after communism isn't in order. A common problem in Croatia as a result of communism. I can't think of another reason it has taken so long.

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

the progress is made the houses for all the people will be built by year 2030 an public bulidings by year 2026 so i dont know what the fuck are you talking about also how they built things in 1960 is a lot diffrent the today i wonder how fast would things be done in UK beacuse you aint the country you used to be

Dubrava has 2x a year a ''dangerous'' situation XD If you are respectable you wont get into any truble

Congratulations on your 365th short video, I really enjoyed them. Such a hard challenge, thank you! My best wishes for you and your family! Keep enjoying the Croatian magic! 🌟🤗🙏

Thank you for the report, like always. I agree it is shameful how little has been done. Politicians always parade around affected areas for their own self-promotion... 😞 However, unfortunately, there aren't many people left in Petrinja to voice their dissatisfaction. And, yes, those who remain keep voting in the same party. The depopulation of central Croatia is actually the main problem. And it is astonishing, considering it should be a posperous part of the country in the immediate vicinity of the capital city. On the other hand, the town center does seem to be covered in scaffolding, so let's hope there is some work being done behind those screens.

i still live in Petrinja,born and raise ther. got my tattoo of 29.12.2020 just a cople days after the quake. it was a hell hole first 6months untill the summer of 2021

I am sorry to tell you, but after Tito every citizen was in debt of 200.000$ and economy was devastated! This part of Croatia that was struck badly is poor. It was hard to make deals with locals for help, because most haven't cleared ownership of their properties. Petrinja as a city had same problem, how can you rebuild something that you don't know who the owner is? Croatian problem, yes, but locals haven't done a thing to improve it in 30 years, terrible! I remember my friends being there first day after the quake and helping with anything they needed. People will help, but local politicians are the problem

Your breathing is absolutely abysmal just slowly walking, you need to do something about your weight before your body gives out on you.

Thanks for telling the truth!

Croatia is amazing!

A mogao si pokazati ono što je napravljeno a ne ono što nije.

Thank you for taking the time to report on this. Honestly, its pretty embarrassing not only for the politicians but for the public who refuse to educate themselves and vote differently/hold these politicians accountable.

Progress report: nothing new to report.

kupari hotels in dubrovnik are still destroyed and in ruins after 33 years and thats close to the sea says a lot about the country

Love your point of view Paul, sometimes we forget how lucky we Croats are, thank you for reminding us!!!

Ok, I'm sold, I'm applying for dual-citizenship (my Grandfather was born there) and will start up an art studio practice there. Learning the language might be a bit difficult, as I don't speak it, but I am very interested in learning it.

Why not just learn standard Croatian? Like what you hear news readers speaking? Everyone in Croatia will understand you and be able to speak it. It sounds like you were picking up vocabulary exclusive to regions then trying to use those regional expressions outside of those regions, which of course will cause confusion.

i zabranjeno ribarenje! narazini EU. jer se ribe tamo mrijeste. nitko ne smije pecat kod Jabuke

Did you visit San Canzian?

Zagreb is the last capital in the world, when put in an alphabetical order (Abu Dhabi is the first). It also has an oceanic climate, not continental as many would think!

LOL, a legend! Have a great day, Mr. Bradbury!

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.

Nije uopće loše za stranca. Samo naprijed...

Pratim Vas godinama i mogu samo da Vam zahvalim na promoviranju Hrvatske. Vaš hrvatski je odličan i ne dozvolite da Vas uznemiravaju ružni komentari ružnih ljudi. Lako je kritizirati druge ne radeći ništa. Ja Vam dajem 5+ za Vaš trud, objektivnost i pogotovu za ljubav prema Lijepoj Našoj. Hvala i lijep pozdrav.

go home....

how do you fit 400 000 euros in a wallet?

Hvala gospodine Paul!

Paul I love all your contents and how you are promoting Croatia my birth place . I’ve been living in Melbourne Australia since 1968 And I speak croation but not as good as you. I urge you not to listen to any negative comments they are not worth it always look to the positive. Don’t ever hang keep doing what you are doing it’s working well for you.👍 Love from the land down under Australia 🇦🇺

You’ve made this video before, almost word for word

I'm an Aussie with Slovenian background and agree withe everything you said. They have the best coastline and easy going nature.👍

The bureaucrats and Bureaucracy make life impossible in this country . The most evil and nasty people occupy positions and delight is refusing to help you . The Legal system is a joke ....massive corruption in obtaining a hearing date for any matter in the lower courts. Been fighting 16 years to get land I inherited from Grandmother . Lawyers and builders are thieves when dealing with a diaspora Croat or any foreigner . Over a million Croats have left Croatia and Bosnia since 1990 due to incompetence. Very Very sad

Super si ❤

Za 22 godine čovječe pričaš super hrvatski. Hvala ti za hrpu objava koje si napravio. Više si napravio za Hrvatsku nego mnogi Hrvati, a samo si 22 godine ovdje. Hvala ti.

Is there not like a common generic Croatian? Seems a bit like Flemish. All the regions have their own dialects but they all can communicate in a common 'Tussentaal'.

Ohh, don't borher yourself with people, they adore to talk about others.. that is ehy they are all going to the curch that God can forgive them every sunday. 😂 You did so much for Croatia for promotion and tourism, more than all Ministry for tourism with stupid moto- Croatia full of life.. ..because that is not truth, mostly people dying here, for many reasons... Thank you for everything you done for country which never appreciated what someone done for it...😢 also, to whom you will talk on Croatian? These haters don't know English... Thank you.❤😊

Paul sretan Božić, you have people and you have "Covika", ti si Čovik!

Dear Paul, you have haters like a real star! 😉 Just keep going boldly forward! All the best from Osijek, it was a surprise to see you in American $ 🙂

Boli te patka za ove zavidne seratore.Nedaj se Pero.

Thanks Paul ❤️ merry Christmas brate.

It's been a pleasure, thanks.

Novalja, Pag is my top discovery in 2024 Remains me of California

Hrvatski je težak. Budite ponosni na sebe što ste ga savladali u toj mjeri da možete razumijevati i komunicirati. Promovirate Hrvatsku s ljubavlju i hvala vam na tome!❤

You Croatian is on decent level, but I do not see point of promoting Croatia and it's tourism to Croatians . That would be like promoting Safari parks in Swahili. Ili da prevedem: Vas hrvaski je na pristojnom nivo, samo se vidim smisla u promicanju Hrvatske i njenog turizma na hrvatskom. To bi bilo slicno izradi programa o Safari parkovima na swahiliju.

Thank you for your videos. I''ve got a few more to watch and to share with friends. Some of them .with a full Croatian background, but...Spanish speakers so, they just watch the images... Have a good one. Hvala. Gracias 🧉🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

Croatia is beautiful, we visited the monastery in Brać. Regarding the mysterious dragons" which " nobody knows how they got there"....well...we Croats, and believe me, yo se de que estoy hablando, 🤣🧉🇦🇷...are bullshit maisters...they ( we) like to make stories, it's cheaper and more fun than Netflix....

To kada si uspješan ljudi su ljubomorni zbog ovoga se možeš smatrati da si Hrvat, hvala na svakom videu Sir Paul Bradbury!!

IDGAF Have nice day ❤

Hvala vam Paul , I hope one day Croatia and our people ( i including you in Croatian people)will repay you for everything you did for us and our Country

Your Croatian language is 9 out of 10 , but your humility and self scrutiny is solid 10 ! Thank you for being our ambassador and promoting Croatia for the price of peanuts ! Please keep going and never leave us . Who gives rats arse for jealous buggers born here but not cabable to talk not even near as good as you
