Nice plot and the house and land will be fantastic. And your kid will be safe and have a great time growing up there. Congratulations.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

Thank you so much! Yes we love the plot and the location which is out the way. We hope to live a fantastic life here 😊😊

[@danijelak4863]

Agree.

[@HladniSjeverniVjetar]

Nice foundation to build on. Welcome to Croatia. Seems to me there's an increasing number of foreigners coming to live in Croatia (as well as Croat returnees) . Europe's undiscovered suburb :D. Well it's going to be interesting to see your progress and how things develop.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

Thank you! And welcome to my channel, look forward to you following my journey with life here in Croatia 😄

Konoba actually means Tavern and Konobar/Konobarica is waiter/waitress Konobar is also used for Bartender

[@northernstar4811]

Tip: For people wanting to buy property in Croatia I suggest getting a good solicitor as many properties have multiple owners or do not have a legal title. Its something to watch out for.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

100% Agree

[@DT-mw3ge]

50% of Croatia is Serbian Republic of Krajina which means houses in these areas are owned by Serbs. There were cases of people returning back to their homes after the war ended only to find strangers living in them.

[@northernstar4811]

@@DT-mw3ge Interesting fantasy.

[@DT-mw3ge]

@@northernstar4811 Sorry but how is this fantasy? I personally know someone who went back to their place after the war and found a stranger living there. The Serbian Krajina was mainly populated by Serbs which means they own the houses and they built them. It's not fantasy. I'm sure this couple will have a chance to drive around and get to know the area in more detail. What's fantasy is you thinking someone else ownes the houses apart from Serbs. Half of current Croatia is Serb Krajina territory. If you don't believe it then you believe in fantasies.

Good on you. Inspiring. I too am leaping back to Croatia from Australia.. my parent's homeland.. with my first home in Sibenik .. a renovation and plans for setting up a business.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

That's fantastic news! Returning to your parent's homeland in Croatia and starting a new chapter in Šibenik with your first home and business plans is truly inspiring. Wishing you all the best on this exciting journey! Cheers to new beginnings and may your renovation and business ventures be filled with success and fulfillment. Enjoy every moment of your time in beautiful Šibenik! 🎉🏡🌟

Croatia 🇭🇷is currently transforming itself into the Silicon Valley of the EU 🇪🇺. Croatia’s infobip is going public next year and Rimac will be going public on the Nasdaq soon. Croatia currently has 2 Unicorns..infobip amd Rimac and 13 soonicorns in the pipeline to becoming unicorns themselves. Good investment property you purchased.

[@DT-mw3ge]

Yes sure and Nikola Tesla was Croatian according to you 😂😂😂 What a joke.

[@Centraleuropebusiness]

@@DT-mw3ge What is so funny? Nikola Tesla was from the semi automous Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia and was a citizen of the Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia and had a passport from Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia that was issued out of Zagreb. He was proud of his Croatian homeland and of his Serbian ANCESTRY …Ancestry is not the same as nationality….besides If you really knew anything about him you would know that he claimed Croatian ethnicity on both siđes of his family tree. Nikola Tesla had nothing to do with Serbia…he wasnt Born there, never lived there, never went to school there , nothing …Serbia contributed nothing to Nikola Tesla’s life. Be Happy that Nikola Tesla was from Croatia and was able to attend good Austrian structured schools in Croatia. If He would have been Born in turkish comtrolled Serbia He would have probably studying the kuran.

[@DT-mw3ge]

@@Centraleuropebusiness Keep telling yourself that. Tesla had nothing to do with Croatia, he identified himself as Serbian and even the song played at his funeral was Serbian song Tamo Daleko. Croats Ustase killed his family, destroyed his home and destroyed the church in his village called Smiljan. His father was a Serbian Orthodoh Church Priest and his mother was a teacher. Years after all the crimes your ancestors commited against him and his family you claim that he is Croatian, it's unbeliveable really. He was not proud of some Croatian homeland as you say and nor am I. Stop explaining ancestry and nationality to me. I am a Serb and I come from not far away from Tesla's village. Stop telling lies. We are Serbs and you should respect Tesla's background. You steal everything from Serbs, the land, the history etc as you don't have your own.

[@Centraleuropebusiness]

@@DT-mw3ge You Serbs have paid a high price for your imperialist actions and ambitions in Croatia first in 1941-1945 and agian in 1991-1995….Get the hint already…Serbian Imperialism is not welcome in Croatia.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

I can believe this arguments continue - how pathetic. My Dalmatian cousins 40 years ago sang that song you know say is Serbian. Nobody cared what it was back then. It’s people that create wars over nothing that torture the rest of humanity that wants to live in peace.

Nice beautiful house bro.. Seem to be you are British. Right?.How much it cost bro??

[@rachelbates3525]

We are both English and my husband are looking to buy in Croatia. Prefer a more rural area. I understand it’s quite a lengthy process. Do you have any tips/advise for us to any brick walls you came across

[@apscoradiales]

Get a EU citizenship, and you will not have any difficulties. If you don't have it, there will be obstacles in the way for sure. For really detailed help and answers go to the nearest Croatian Consulate in UK, and ask them to guide you.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

I would always hire a solicitor and dont take anyones word. also check www.expatincroatia.com they have alot of resorces

[@amberreed8652]

[@daniellebene]

Greetings from Toronto! This really interests my husband and I because we plan on making the move ourselves soon. I just obtained my citizenship through my father and would love to know as much as possible. Will you disclose the purchase price and what general area you're located?

[@Dusan.Grujic]

Hey Danielle thanks for watching! Good luck with the move! Some things are quite difficult here but it’s well worth the annoyance hehe! Sorry these questions are a bit personal, I hope you understand. For now anyway… 😄

[@loghomekamenica5871]

Hi Danielle, if you are moving to Croatia and considering regions around the capital Zagreb it might be worthwhile visiting our property. We are selling our newly built loghome at a very competitive price. Unfortunately our move back to Croatia didn't fall through so we hope somebody else can realize their dreams here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHKWdWqhp8yJo8U

[@pepe.sanchez]

@daniellebene4085 was just wondering.. how long did the process take to obtain citizenship?

[@daniellebene]

@@pepe.sanchez it was done for me over the course of a year. That was moreso procrastinating and once the application was submitted in June I received confirmation of citizenship in March of the following year. I then had to get my domovnica before getting my passport and that took a few extra months. It seems overbearing at first, but the process gets going fairly quickly once you get the info you need together.

I am a Croatian.You can by a medium size house in the inland for about 60.000 € ,but you have probably renovate it.Houses on the Adriatic see are much more expensive,about 400.000 €. Si it depends how much money you have to spend.

I am not sure what you mean by 'off grid.' The place looks like it is plumbed and has electrical outlets. They just need to be reconnected.

[@Dusan.Grujic]

Elise, The property was plumbed into a rain water reserve tank. And there is no electricity attached, previously it was connected to a neighbours electrics. But as you can see there is no power or water at this current time. So there fore it’s currently ‘off-grid’.

[@julijaskripcenko9966]

Where is this home? Croatia have a lot of places....🤔🤔🤔

[@Dusan.Grujic]

In Dalmatia, but why does it matter where it is :)?

[@TheValyGaming]

@@Dusan.Grujic Regionality really does change the architecture, availability of utilities etc. For example u in north-east most towns/villages are made on a single flat straight road which means its much easier to get electricity, internet and all that. But down south where houses might be more separate the municipality might be less inclined to do major constructions (sewage, gas) for just one or two houses Edit: I'd also dd that regionality comes in with different weather stuff, and biodiversity. For example down south there's a far higher population of venomous snakes and so on. And if you'd potentially want to ask for some housing advice from locals here the climate is radically different so advice may vary

[@Dusan.Grujic]

@@TheValyGaming interesting comment, didn’t think about all that. Thank you 😊 Oh and I’m in Zadarska Region

[@vietnowsoldo]

@@Dusan.Grujic I think you got a great location. Close to everything, sea, mountains, even B&H is near by so in winter you can go skiing. Be sure to meet your neighbors as soon as possible, people are generally friendly and will help you with everything. As you may know, you shouldn't be concerned about safety there, we all grew up unsupervised :) Sretno!

[@downwithDleft]

My wife and i just came back from croatia. Soent 2 months roaming around and we loked it enough that were going back in September or October for 6 monypths to see if we can find a decent home close to the sea. Zadar area was nice. Any tips fir looking for the house or better yet if you know of anybody selling thats a good price. Thank you

[@Dusan.Grujic]

That's wonderful to hear that you and your wife enjoyed your time in Croatia and are planning to return for an extended period!
