Abstract (english)
In the second half of 2015, Croatia faced a new challenge — a great refugee wave from the Middle East. The influx of so many refugees has raised many sensitive issues and led to the questioning of the fundamental principles underlying the idea of solidarity of the European Union. The first countries to face the influx of large numbers of refugees were those in the Euro-Mediterranean region, and Croatia among them, and because of this they became a sort of a “hot spot”. The suffering of thousands of refugees in the Mediterranean area, unfortunately, did not draw so much attention of politicians and the media, as the putting up of razor-wire fences on the borders did. The strategies with which the European countries affected by the refugee crisis deal with this problem deviate from the strategy of solidarity, and open doors to panic and the fear of terrorism, as well as to the fear for European cultural identity, which consequently leads to the strategy of closing the borders and setting up barbed wire. Since the beginning of the influx of refugees, Croatia has operated on a policy of an open door and has become a transit centre for refugees from the Middle East on their way to the developed countries of Europe. Neighbouring countries (Slovenia and Hungary) have opted for a strategy of strict border control, including barbed wire. The refugee crisis represents a major financial, logistic and security issue for the countries that are the refugees’ final destination, but also for the transit countries. The Croatian public generally does not talk about this crisis in the context of all its aspects; only certain aspects of the crisis have been problematized. There has been no adequate official information/education campaign about refugees and the causes of this crisis. This paper emphasizes the importance of the integrated-communication strategy in the public communication of important social challenges, and outlines the crucial elements of information and education campaigns.
