400,000 varied artifacts and monuments, have beengathered over the years from many differentsources. Most of this material in the first years anddecades of museum activity was acquired throughpurchase or gifts, and a major role was played bythe "museum representatives", who were active inthe field throughout all of Croatia. As early as the1880s, the museum began systematic

10

archaeological excavations in various Croatianregions, acquiring in this manner abundant material,

and at the same time valuable data for studying theeveryday life of the inhabitants from the prehistoricage to the mediaeval period. The most recentmuseum activities in this field include the systematicexcavation and conservation (in the form ofarchaeological parks) of Roman urban architecturalcomplexes at Scitarjevo near Zagreb (Andautonia)and at Varazdinske Toplice (Aquae Iasae), whileother scientific staff of the museum are excavatingsites in the Zumberak area and at Stenjevac nearZagreb, as well as at various other archaeological

sites in the continental sections of Croatia, mainly inthe Zagreb metropolitan area.The Museum of Contemporary Art

After many years of effort invested in securing anadequate space for the Museum, either by

remodelling the existing or by constructing abuilding, a decision was made in 1998 in favour ofthe latter option. The new location was set in NoviZagreb, at the crossroads of Veeslav Holjevac andDubrovnik Avenues. On 17 November 2003, theconstruction works on the new Museum ofContemporary Art officially began. The new buildingwas finally opened in late autumn of 2009. The

Croatian Parliament

13


14/30

The Croatian Parliament is a representative body ofcitizens and is vested with the legislative power inthe Republic of Croatia. The Parliament, as theoldest state institution, has been advocating,guaranteeing and protecting Croatias statehoodand national interests throughout centuries. Until themid-nineteenth century, membership in theParliament was restricted to members of thearistocracy and clergy. Then in 1848, pursuant to the

Electoral Order issued at the command of JosipJelai Croatias ban, or royal governor - the firstParliament of citizens in Croatia was elected. Allable-bodied members from the previous Parliamentremained in it (at the invitation of the ban), while anadditional 192 representatives of the people, electedregardless of social station (although subject to

property and educational restrictions), were elected.After the first democratic multiparty elections held in Croatia on 30

May 1990, the first multiparty parliament was constituted. According

to the provisions of the new Constitution promulgated in December

1990, the Parliament consisted of two chambers: the Chamber of

Deputies with legislative authority, and the Chamber of Counties

with an advisory role and the right to lodge so-called suspension

vetoes. After the enactment of constitutional amendments in 2000,

which changed the semi-presidential system in a parliamentary

14


15/30

system, the Parliament acquired a new, more important role in

Croatias political system. After the elimination of the Chamber of

Counties under the constitutional amendments enacted in 2001, the

Croatian Parliament became unicameral.

All the best,Ozren, Ivan, Ines & Petra

ParticipantsLet's see what the participants have to say about his/her match afterthe Dutch Week:Ozren WinklerThis guy, the best match evah, is always having a good time and he thinks thateverything will work out... eventually. So when you need to catch a plane orsomething like that, you don't have to worry, because he will start packing hisstuff, 5 minutes before we are leaving. Ozren is also becoming a true Dutchie,with his clogs in his bag and a stoopwafel in his hand, you wouldn't say he isactually from Croatia. I'm really looking forward to next week!!!:D

Thomas van PeltDefinitely the worst tour guide in the whole Universe, but definitely the bestpossible host. Thomas is always cheerful and caring, sometimes beeingoverprotective (not in a negative way). I can't wait to see Thomas in action inCroatia, with a beer in one hand and with the other hand hugging all thepeople around him ;-)))

Ivan Vrhovski

22


23/30

Ivan the magnificent is a social, singing, music making guy. He likes toexperience new things and can cook pancakes. Furthermore you can count onhim if you have to carry a drunk roommate to bed when she falls asleep on the

stairs.Coen van BaalI never thought I would meet a member of Royal family. :) Coen really showedthat he is a "dirty Harry" as he was probably the only successful Dutchparticipant to closely interact with Croatian girls. He really loves beer andbecause of cheep beer in Croatia I wonder if he will prolong his stay at myplace for at least 5-6 weeks. It won't be a problem as we get along quite well,with or without cookies! :)

Petra SkrobotPetra is in the Croatian SEP committee and she is one of the most outgoing

and enthusiastic persons I have ever met! Her most common sentence duringthe week we spent in the Netherlands was: I like everything! Especiallyduring the parties, she was unstoppable. And she doesnt even get tired!Getting up after 3 hours of sleep was no problem for her, she was just ashappy and vivid as the day before! Although keeping up with her is quite hard,I am sure we will have a wonderful week together in Croatia!!

Nikolina HorvatI was the lucky one who had two matches! Nikolina is the best friend of Petra,and together they were my matches during the Dutch week. Nikolina is a verykind and friendly person, and she loves stroopwafels! We had a great weektogether in the Netherlands and I am looking forward to spending the Croatianweek together with her!

Ellen GruytersIf you don't have a company for going out, you can always call Ellen. She isalways ready for party. She is also always ready for making jokes. Be in hercompany is always fun. She's best friend is Janneke, and they are spanding alot of time together.

Ines Kos

Ines is one of the committee members of the SEP in Croatia and I do think Igot to know her quite well during her stay over here. She seemed to be anatural in cycling!! She got used to the cycling very fast I must say and thatreally surprised me. She followed me everywhere! I experienced her as areally calm and nice person who has everything under control. She was nevertoo tired to get up and always tried to get the best out of every day. She wasreally enthusiastic and interested in what we prepared for everyone in theDutch Week. I really like her being my match and I am sure she will be a goodhost for me during the Croatian Week!

Janneke Driessen

23


24/30

Janneke is a lovely Dutch girl who unlike other has a hair-dryer :) There is norush for her, she'll make on time using shortcuts and fast bike riding. We'll seehow she manages the same with trams in Zagreb, while they are less flexible

and reliable when in traffic jam! She's also a Spain lover, and there she spendsher summer weeks so we'll see how she likes the Croatian coast, hopefullyshe'll find it appealing and maybe become one of our tourists this summer!

Maja TeklicThe first thing I remember about Maja is the picture she took off me at theairport, even before we actually met;) I found that taking pictures is somethingthat Maja likes very much. She took pictures of everything, but that's probablywhat I'm going to do during the Croatian week too! I had a very good time withMaja as my match in the Netherlands. It was always fun to talk to each other,learn new things about our countries, and going out in the evenings. I'm

looking foward to the Croatian week with Maja as my match and of course therest of you!

Stephanie MatseInteresting girl with superpowers, she can ride a bike with wet hair and in heelswithout socks while it's -10C and she doesn't catch a cold :) She loves totravel so I'm wondering whether is she going to be Chinese girl in Croatia, likeme in Netherlends.

Ivan Gregorovic

Ivan loves life, besides this he also loves to sleep. Ivan really likes to party andwhen he does he does it good. So not standing with a beer in a pub easilytalking, no when you party you really party and dance! When Ivan came to theNetherlands he really was looking forward to the "Dutch cookies",unfortunately he found the effect of the cookies a bit disappointing. The dutchstroopwafels were a lot better actually!"

Thomas van SteenisThomas is a great friend and a host. You can always rely on him and know thathe will be there for you. He is very smart and an excellent student, but alsoreal party animal. So don't be surprised if you see him last leaving the disco.

Dalibor SmoljanovicThis little bandit likes to dress up as a girl. He is really sportive guy and whenwe were going to play football, insiders of this match evaluated him as the manof the match. He was even getting out of bed on time.

Luk van den BorneAlways jolly and in a good mood, Luk will be prepared to help you, wheneveryou need. Siple, kind and warm, hell be sincere friend and try to understandall your problems. Person that you can always count on. Still free, so girls,attack him ;-)

Masa BorkoMasha is as sweet and innocent as she looks like. Partying with her is never

boring: she gets into a fight, loses her keys or is the dancing queen on the bar.Besides loving to party, she also loved the formal parts of the SEP and didn'tget bored during the guest lectures. But the thing that impressed her mostduring the SEP was the big wind mill in Volendam.

Maaike DiepstratenShe is openminded, interesting, optimistic, tolerant, funny, relaxed, knowswhat she wants. You can't be borred around her because she has alwayssomething to say and that is why I enjoyed in her company so much! She likeschocolate sprinkels, traveling, meeting new people and dancing on the bar! ;)

Dunja RozmanWhat can I say about Dunja? I think the most important thing is that she is asuper match!! That is not only because the fact that she prefers to take ashower in the evening, and I prefer to take a shower in the morningso that isperfect when you have to be ready at the same time in the morning. But alsobecause she is SUPER, very friendly, funny and social. The second day of thedutch week, there were some friends at our house and they believed that shewas our new roommate. I wish she was! We had a lot of contact the lastweeks, and I hope it will never change!!

Bertine van Houselt

Bertine is a joyful young lady, who not only loves to play tennis, but is vreygood at that too. She is a very responsible, outgoing and openminded girl.Although she is often very buisy with her classes and work, she never saysno to a good party with her friends! Lovely girl ;-)

Kristina ZilicThis pretty Croatian girl is interested in everything around her. You can talkwith her about all kind of things and youll never be bored. During the DutchWeek we found out that there is a big culture difference between the Dutchand Croatian people: the hairdryer After taking a shower, Kristina ALWAYSneeds a hairdryer!

Leonie van KaamLeonie is nice and polite girl, she is always smiled, but also a bit shy.Her dad isgreat cook! :) She likes sport a lot, especially hockey.She has a lot of friends,and she loves to hang out with them and have fun...

Maja PazinAs we dind't get Sandra's opinion about Maja, we'll have to write a couple ofwords. Maja is a 2nd year Economics student. She is a great friend, always witha smile on her face (well, most of the time) and always ready for a fancy drinkwhen everyone else drinks beer ;-))

Sandra van Overveld

Sandra is the coolest Dutch She is second year student studying businessadministration and she passed all the exams until now! She is active inMarketing Association at her Faculty and she went to South Africa for a monthlast October with the Association. Besides that her hobbies are swimming,squash, going out and travelling and she really can't wait to arrive in Zagreb.

Anamarija Ferrari'Ferrari' is a little Croatian girly, very cheerful, sporty and lovely. She thinks thatriding a bike is the best thing ever, so long as it is not raining, snowing, blowingor cold... which unfortunately is very rare here! Traditional Dutch sandwicheswith 'hagelslag' and 'filet americain (raw meat)' went down well but she has

eaten enough of those to last her a long time!! She likes to go out and party,proper style!! Dutch music is not really her thing but plenty of Schrobbeler orcookies can make up for that!! I hope the glitters from 'Carnaval night' havecome off by now because it's time to check out Croatia!

Lauren JenkinsVery sociable, communicative and talkative, Lauren will always be there foryou ready to help you starting from those simple things such as providingyou superb dinner to those tricky ones such as giving you hand and support todance on the bar. Yes, ON the bar ;-) Rumors say that she knows everybody inTilburg, so dont be surprised if, at the end of the Croatian week she gets toknow more people here than you!

Petar DevericWhat can I say about Petar? Petar or the pharaoh is a very nice and socialguy. Instead of me he didnt had trouble to come out of bed early in themorning. During the day Petar was a calm guy most of the time busy takingpictures with his phone. But when the night falls he is a real party animal!Together with me we were the die hards of the SEP. And Petar even wanted toparty more. He is a great match and Im looking forward to next week!

Mike BoumansWhat to say about Mike? Simply, he is the coolest match for sure! He is

easygoing and always ready for fun what makes him great company.Steven KempkesSteven is a good host and frend. He likes sports, especially football. Heprefers girls with blonde hair so Croatian blonds be prepared for Steven :)

Josip JuricWhen I first saw his pictures on facebook I was a bit startled. But when I methim at the airport he turned out to be a really nice guy and we get along verywell during the Dutch SEP week. Unlike some other Croatian people (very fewof course) he didnt had difficulty to wake up early. Every morning when Iwalked into the bathroom, sometimes half asleep or with a terrible headache,

he was already fully dressed. In summary, he was a great match and I am surewe would have lots of fun, so I really regret not going to Zagreb.

Michel van den Berg

Michel i a nice guy and therefore Josip cannot wait him to come. He is alsovery serious and, in the same time, very amusing. Michel is a real example ofan intellectual, that even in the toughest situations doesn't raise his voice at hisguests. I hope that he's going to release the brake he had in Holland and toenjoy his time in Croatia, as his match did in Holland.

Jure SusanAs an experienced Sepper I can say Jure is the most easy going match I'veever had. As long as he has either beer or meat he's satisfied. Jure is a realparty animal that stays out until late, but in the morning he's always ready tostart the new day. Jure likes to eat some cookies from time to time that bring

him to a different world, but even when he's in a different world, he knows howto unlock his bike. He's very inventive because he turned himself into a negroby only using some cork. It promises to become a great week with Jure inCroatia!

Pim KerckhaertAs Paul had to quit the programme (unfortunately), we are really happy thatsomeone entered the empty spot and is coming to Croatia. So, we have yet tosee how will Pim get along with all the other participants and we suppose thatse will enjoy his time here and wont regred joining the programme!! WelcomePim!!

Nina BunjevacNina is from Zagreb, Croatia where she lives on the 11th floor right in thecentre with her parents and a sister. She's a very spirited girl, unless it's 07:00in the morning. Personally, that doesn't exactly strike me as particularly odd,as she always answers her e-mails at around 05:00 at night. Nina really lovesdancing so she teaches grade-school children how to dance in her spare time.She's a very good dancer, as I and some other Dutchies have been able towitness during the first night in Caf Philip when Nina went crazy dancing withher best friend Ivan G. It was funny to see the look on some of Thomas van S'female friends. She also performs in several music videos as a dancer, but herdream is to become a singer. She's planning to release her first album soon!

Hedviga BlazincicA nice girl, who is an expert in cycling. She even managed it to cycle on highheels. She is a serious girl who is really concerned about her family. She lovescats,managed to cycle with very high heels, family-minded, cat-loving andkeen on stroopwafels!

Charlotte de JongeWhat to say about Charlotte? I am really glad to have met such a

polite, charming, communicative and interesting person who has

shown me a different culture, way of life and helped me to see it

through her eyes and I hope I will be able to return the favour.

Marko KuvezdicMacro (with other words Kuba) is an honest and stand-up guy. He likes a lot ofthings; football and salsa are examples of it. Besides that, it's worth to mentionthat he has a strange kind of humor. This is a small, but good description ofthe person with the pink wings! Oohyea and of course the mostimportant person in his life is the beautiful girlfriend (Believe me, I have seenpictures!).

Will-Jan JacobsWill-Jan is multitalented in drinking various types of alchohol beverages. If youyou want to get lost in Tilburg just call Will-Jan and it will be done in second. If

you need someone to hang out with after all pubs are closed, don't worry, Will-Jan also needs someone. Besides, he is a very nice guy and with him you'llalways have a lot of fun.

Hrvoje PuhHrvoje. The man with the difficult name. Hrvoje was interested in tasting theDutch way of life. He bought a fridge full of smoothies, just because he likedthem so much and wanted to buy as many as possible during his stay here.Unfortunately we forgot to check the expiration date, which meant that the lastday in Tilburg was a day full of smoothies for Hrvoje. But I'm quite sure hedidn't mind that. Hrvoje also wanted to see as much as possible here. Armed

with his photo camera he took no less than 700 photos in just 7 days. So incase you forgot to take a picture of something during the Dutch week, just askHrvoje, he must have pictures of almost everything we encountered in Holland.:) But most of all Hrvoje is just a nice and friendly guy, who is very easy to talkwith. So if you didn't get a chance to get to know him yet in the Dutch week,

just make sure you do so during this Croatian week."

Laurens VerhoefLaurens is a great chap, very friendly and sincere. He is also quite flexible andready to compromise which is great if you happen to be the complicated type.His taste in music is pretty good as well :)
