6 About Croatia

About Croatia

The Republic of Croatia is an independent country in South Eastern Europe with its capital in Zagreb. Having a population of over 4.5 million, Croatia lies at the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea with its hinterland stretching to the slopes of the Alps and deep into the Pannonian lowlands, to the banks of the Danube and Drava Rivers. It consists of three geographic regions: the Mediterranean, the Mountainous and the Pannonian region. In the west of the country Croatia borders on the Italian Adriatic, in the northwest and north on Slovenia, in the north and northeast on Hungary. In the east it borders on the Province of Vojvodina (within Serbia), in the south on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in the far south on Montenegro. Though

a small country, Croatia is defined by diverse cultural influences that resulted in distinctive architecture and a rich stew of traditions. It is well known for its beautiful Adriatic coast, however, traditional atmosphere as well as the beauty of the landscape can be observed in the continental Eastern region of our country, named Slavonia and Baranja. Osijek is the capital of Slavonia and Baranja. A convenient geographical location on the rivers of Drava and Danube makes Osijek a political, cultural, educational and industrial centre.

Time zone

Croatia is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), 6 hours ahead of New York and Montreal, 9 hours ahead of Los Angeles, 4 hours ahead of Sao Paulo, 2 hours behind Moscow, and 8 hours behind Tokyo. Daylight saving time is observed from late March to late October, during which time the clocks are advanced one hour.

ClimateContinental Croatia has a continental

climate, while the Adriatic coast has a Mediterranean climate. In the continental area, where Osijek is situated, spring and autumn are mild, summer is usually hot while winter can be cold and snowy.

CustomsCustom duties are not paid on personal

objects. Radios, telephones, sporting and professional equipment may be brought into the country after having been registered at the border crossing.

Passports and licenses Passports or other identification

documents recognized by international agreement are required to enter the country. A driving license, traffic license and the relevant insurance documents (except for countries that have other regulations) are necessary to enter into Croatia with a vehicle.

ElectricityElectrical current is 220 volts AC, 50

Hz. Most plugs have two round pins. So, if you wish to operate personal electric or electronic items that are not compatible with our electrical system, you should bring a plug adapter and a transformer.

special privileges. After that, Mursa had a turbulent history, with a lot of decisive battles that took place here, deciding the destiny of the whole region. After migrating, the Croats made a settlement near the ruins of Mursa, giving it its

Historical Overview The history of Osijek goes back to

the Neolithic times and begins with the first known inhabitants who belonged to the Illyrian tribes. Later on, in 331, the Roman emperor Hadrian raised the old settlement of Mursa to a colony with

present name, Osijek. The first precise mention of this name can be found in the Papal list from 1332, with a precise mention of Osijek parish. Life was thriving here in the Middle Ages, but only traces of that life can be found today, because the Turks destroyed everything they found and built a town to suit their style. The Turks built several important buildings and mosques here, including Suleiman the Magnificent’s famous 8 km long wooden bridge, considered to be one of the wonders of the world. After liberation from the Turks in 1687, Osijek was once again completely devastated. Between 1712 and 1721, the new Austrian authorities built a new fortress, today known as Tvrđa. It is a unique urban and military complex that lies in the heart of the town. Its central Holy Trinity Square is bound on the north by the Building of the Military Command, today the seat of the Rector. On the west there is the Main Guard Building, and on the east the Magistrate Building, presently the Museum of Slavonia. In the middle, there is the Plague Monument, erected in 1729.

The three parts of the town, the Lower Town, Tvrđa, and the Upper Town were united in 1786, and Osijek became the administrative centre of the Slavonia region. In 1779, a new wooden bridge was built across the Drava River, connecting Osijek with Hungary and the rest of Central Europe. Upper Town became the new business centre of the town.

Osijek was heavily damaged during the Homeland War, 1991-1995. The peaceful reintegration of Eastern Slavonia and Baranja was successfully completed, opening the way to the revival of our city and the whole region.

10 The City of Osijek

We will take you for a little walk through the city streets, squares and parks...

Let's start from the center, Ante Starčević Square, located in the Upper Town, which is the administrative and business centre of Osijek. Most buildings date from the late 19th and early 20th century. The Concathedral consecrated to St. Peter and Paul is drawing your attention with its impressive size. It was built at the end of the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style. Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, after whom our University is named, supported its construction.

Other interesting sites are: - Kapucinska and Županijska streets, as

the busiest ones in Osijek, fully reveal the urban spirit of the city

- Several city parks, ensuring Osijek’s reputation as “the green city”

- The Croatian National Theatre, founded in 1907

- The City and University Library building, built in 1905 and

- The Museum of Fine Arts, built in 1996, both located on the European Avenue

- The old part of Osijek, Tvrđa, a unique complex where the Rector’s Office and some faculties are situated

Osijek Today Osijek is the administrative and

economic centre of Eastern Croatia, situated on the right bank of the Drava River, 25 km upstream from its mouth into the Danube. Osijek has also convenient geographical location at the crossroads to Hungary, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus being a city of multicultural and multiethnic community.

12 Osijek’s surroundings

Baranja Baranja, an area bordered by the

Drava and the Danube rivers and divided by Croatian-Hungarian state border, is well known for its ethnographic scenery, great wines, hot peppers, fishing, traditional masks - buše, guarding ripening grapes - pudarine, embroidered motifs of small peacocks on traditional folk costumes - paunići, traditional straw beds, and homemade healthy food. Some dishes one needs to try while visiting Baranja are nettle sauce, clay pot stew, shepherds' stew or carp between forked branches.

Kopački Rit WetlandsKopački rit is a protected nature park,

a swamp area that is home to different wild animals and very rare birds. Kopački rit offers possibilities to observe rare birds, wild boars or deers, to walk along old forest paths, to ride a boat along the wetland canals and to experience unique beauty of untouched nature.

More about Baranja and Kopački rit: www.tzbaranje.hr/en

Slavonski brodSlavonski Brod is the seat of the Brod-

Posavina County, located in the eastern part of Croatia, bordering with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city is situated along the river Sava, on the crossroads of important traffic lines and highways. That important geographical position significantly influences all the aspects of city development.

Some historical sites such as the Franciscan Monastery, the Brod Fortress, the House of Family Brlić, as well as beautiful nature landscapes attract many visitors and make living in the city quite cozy. The city is also a home of the Mechanical Engineering Faculty and the satellite Faculty of Education within Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, thus providing for vivid student life of the city.

More about Slavonski Brod: www.tzgsb.hr

ĐakovoĐakovo is a town of bishops, but it is

also a town of traditional ethno festivals Đakovački vezovi and Đakovački bušari, both of which are worth seeing.

Besides its rich gastronomic offer and great Đakovo wines, in the town of Đakovo there are many cultural and monumental sights, the most important of which is the St. Peter's Cathedral. It is also known as the Strossmayer Cathedral, by the name of the Đakovo bishop and Croatian benefactor Josip Juraj Strossmayer, after whom the University of Osijek has also been named. Horse lovers will visit the State Lippizaner Horse Farm, established in 1506.

Osijek’s

surroundings

Vukovar Vukovar is situated about 30

kilometers to the east of Osijek, where the Vuka river enters the Danube. The city is on the borders of Slavonia and Sirmium regions. Unfortunately, it is widely known by its war sufferings and destructions. Today, after years of war, Vukovar is revived and rebuilt, and it is offering to visitors a great blend of Danube scenery and historical sites. Worth mentioning is the archaeological site of Vučedol, located along the banks of the Danube, some 5 kilometres downstream from Vukovar. This is one of the most significant sites of the Eneolithic period. This Eneolithic culture was named after its place of origin – the Vučedol culture.

More about Vukovar: www.turizamvukovar.hr

Ilok Ilok is the most eastern town in

Croatia and a place where the East meets the West. It rises above the Danube, surrounded by the slopes of Fruška Gora. It is a town of long history with one of the largest urban and fortification complexes of Northern Croatia. However, Ilok is still widely recognized for its vineyards and especailly for its wine Traminac.

and that same year the University Senate passed the Decision to include the name of Josip Juraj Strossmayer in the name of the university. Joseph George Strossmayer (Croatian: Josip Juraj) was a bishop and theologian, politician and statesman. He was one of the most famous Croats in the world, known as a promoter of Croatian culture and the people's tribune, whose entire life was devoted to advancing welfare and progress of the Croatian people. He was born on February 4, 1815 in Osijek, died on April 8, 1905 in Đakovo. Strossmayer was a true predecessor of modern ecumenical quests for unification and open dialogue, and he strove for unity and cooperation despite differences, casting away centuries of misunderstanding and conflict. His personality, ideas, broad viewpoints, global reasoning and his overall legacy have been recognized and followed even today in the mission of the University of Osijek.

We need to point out that the academic year 1991/1992 began in wartime Croatia. We must emphasize that the University of Osijek was the only university in Croatia that suffered severe damage in the war for independence.

when the Zagreb Faculty of Economics, in accordance with the University of Zagreb, founded the Centre for part-time studies in Osijek as a branch of the Zagreb Faculty of Economics.

The initiative for the founding of the University of Osijek dates back to 1975. On March 26 1975, the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) passed the Decision granting

consent for the establishing of the University of Osijek. Two months later, on May 31 1975, the Agreement concerning the founding of the University of Osijek was signed by the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Processing, the Institute of Agriculture, the Zagreb School of Engineering and Naval Architecture for Engineering Studies in Slavonski Brod, the Teacher Training College in Osijek, the Zagreb Music Academy for the Music Department in Osijek, the City Library and the Historical Archives in Osijek. Therefore, we celebrate May 31 as the day when the University of Osijek was founded.

In this brief outline we need to point out several important years in the history of the founding of the various faculties of the University of Osijek: in 1975 the Faculty of Law, in 1976 the Faculty of Food Technology, in 1977 the Faculty of Education, in 1979 the School of Engineering in Slavonski Brod and Medical Studies in Osijek, which developed into the Faculty of Medicine in 1998, in 1982 the Faculty of Civil Engineering, in 1990 the Electrical Engineering Studies developed into the Faculty of Electrical Engineering,

A Short History of Higher Education in Osijek

The history of higher education in this area began almost three centuries ago, i.e. in 1707, when the first institution of higher education was founded in Osijek. It was the Higher Theological School, which was opened in the academic year 1707/1708 as Studium Philosophicum Essekini, and included a three-year course of studies in philosophy.

The significance of the first colleges in Osijek lies in their huge contribution to Croatian language and literature, the spreading of liberal-arts education, and the study of languages and classical literature.

The recent history of higher education in the area began in 1959

26 Faculty of AgricultureAgriculture

Eastern Slavonia is the most important agricultural area in the Republic of Croatia, so the development of the Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek is of great importance for future progress of the land.

The High Agricultural School in Osijek was founded in 1960 as a member of the University of Zagreb. Studies were organised in two groups – Field Crops Production and Live Stock Breeding, for both full-time and part-time students. In 1969 a four-year study introducing the Food Technology Program was founded. The High Agricultural School changed

Faculty of its name to the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Technology and was divided into two institutions, i.e. the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Food Technology. After that, together with the Institute of Agriculture, they became a part of the Biotechnical Research and Teaching Center, up to the year 1991 when the Faculty of Agriculture became an independent institution of higher education.

Going out…

Night life in the city of Osijek is very dynamic. There is a lot to choose from. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the days to go out. However, you can always go to the cinema, the theatre, a gallery or just walk along the river. If you want to have a cup of coffee, we suggest some of the most popular cafes, like Campus café (located near your student dorm), Trica or Šetač. Also, there are a lot of popular cafes situated along the river or on the Radić Street near the Faculties of Law and Economics. Popular meeting points are the Old Bridge Pub, Irish pub St. Patrick, General von Beckers, Matrix, Exit, all situated in the Old Town of Osijek, called Tvrđa. We also suggest checking out popular music clubs and discotheques, such as Tufna, Epic and Bastion in Tvrđa and Oxygene in the city centre. There are a lot of concerts, most of them happening at old cinema that is now a concert hall called Kino Europa.
