Dear SEPpers 2010,

WELCOME

to the Croatian Week of the Satellite Exchange Programme 2010!

1
After the unforgettable Dutch Week in February, now it is our time to provide
you a week full of interesting activities in Croatia. During this week we will try
to show you how Croatian people live, work, study and, of course, party.
As the Dutch SEP Committee did, we have also prepared some actvities that
you wouldn't do on regular basis and to show you some unique places, that
are strange and ineresting to some Croatian participants as well.
The programme is full of social, educational and cultural activities, so we
suppose that you have prepared yourself phyisically and mentally for staying
awake for one more week.
Our goal is to help you make this week as unforgettable as the Dutch one. We
would like our Dutch guests to have a pleasant stay in our beautiful country.
We would also like to kindly ask you to socialize as much as you can with all
the participants and make this week a lifetime experience for all of us.
Let's get the party started!!
SEP 2010 Croatian Committee:
Ozren, Ivan, Ines & Petra

Introduction to the Programme

In this booklet we have made an overview of all the activities of each day of
this week. The days are almost fully booked, so you just have to check when
and where you are required to be present at the begining of the activities for
each day.
The Croatian participants have to check if they need to prepare a meal for their
Dutch guests.
All the participants have to take their „Sudionik“ card every day, to enter the
public transport without any problems.
Please, also check your dress code, on Thursday we are visiting the Croatian
Parliament, so you have to wear formal clothes.
Make sure that you can identify yourself at any time, either with an ID or
a Passport (Croatian participants can also show their driver's license).
As during the Dutch Week, please also try to speak as much English as you
can, as the group can easily separate by speaking their native tongue.

2
 If something unexpected occurs, you can contact someone from the
committee to help you. Also, if you have any questions and remarks, please
adress them to any member of the committee.
Do not forget that in Croatia you cannot pay with Euro – the official currency is
KUNA (Croatian kuna – HRK), the rate is approximately 1 EUR = 7,25 HRK!

„Le Tour de Faks“

Faculty of Economics and Business is a part of the University of Zagreb. The
Faculty started out as the School of Commerce and Transport in 1920. Since
then it has often changed its name but never its mission - to emphasize the
importance of economics and business for the well-being of the country and its
citizens, as well as to educate experts in these fields, especially in the current
environment of internationalization and globalization.
School of Commerce and Transport became the Economic-commercial School
with the legal status of the University’s faculty in the 1925. Economic-
commercial School became the Faculty of Economics in 1947. In 1956 the
School of Business was founded, with the two-year study program and
curriculum that was adjusted for adult students who already had experience in
business. In 1968 the two schools were merged together and the Faculty of
Economic Science was founded. In 1982 the Faculty of Economic Science and
the Faculty for International Trade merged into the Faculty of Economics and
Business.

6
Between 1927 and May 1st 1995, 18000 students
had graduated and 501 doctoral theses were
defended at the Faculty of Economics and
Business. From 1962 to the May 1st 1995, more
than 2000 master theses were defended.
The Faculty of Economics and Business has excellent reputation in educating
experts in the field of economics and business. The interest for studying at this
Faculty is higher and higher year after year, and especially in the last few
years. Therefore our goal is to fulfil the expectations of our students by
developing modern educational programmes and encourage various teaching
and research programmes.

Guest lecture
Today we will have a kind of workshop, led by dr. Lejla Bosak, Head
of International Affairs at EFZG. The title of the workshop is „Human
capital – corporate perspectives“. Dr. Bosak is a manager with twelve
years of outperforming professional track record in leading
healthcare national and multinational companies (also in Johnson &
Johnson), so you will be able to find out anything you are interested
in, concerning Human Resources Management.

Bowling night

Bowling is a sport in which players attempt to score points by rolling

a bowling ball along a flat surface, usually a wooden or synthetic
surface, either into objects called pins or to get close to a target ball.

Coca-Cola HBC Croatia is one of the biggest
companies in the non-alcoholic beverage industry in
the country and is a franchised bottler of The Coca-
Cola Company. They produce, sell and distribute to
customers a range of non-alcoholic beverages
including four of the world’s best selling brands:
Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola zero (diet Coke), Fanta and
Sprite. During this visit, you will find out how the
company works, how they manage their HR, and
you will also get the opportunity to see the bottling
plant.
Archaeological Museum
The Archaeological Museum in Zagreb is one of the
direct successors to the former National Museum,
the oldest museum institution in the Croatian capital.
The museum collections, today consisting of nearly
400,000 varied artifacts and monuments, have been
gathered over the years from many different
sources. Most of this material in the first years and
decades of museum activity was acquired through
purchase or gifts, and a major role was played by
the "museum representatives", who were active in
the field throughout all of Croatia. As early as the
1880s, the museum began systematic

10
archaeological excavations in various Croatian
regions, acquiring in this manner abundant material,
and at the same time valuable data for studying the
everyday life of the inhabitants from the prehistoric
age to the mediaeval period. The most recent
museum activities in this field include the systematic
excavation and conservation (in the form of
archaeological parks) of Roman urban architectural
complexes at Scitarjevo near Zagreb (Andautonia)
and at Varazdinske Toplice (Aquae Iasae), while
other scientific staff of the museum are excavating
sites in the Zumberak area and at Stenjevac near
Zagreb, as well as at various other archaeological

sites in the continental sections of Croatia, mainly in

the Zagreb metropolitan area.
The Museum of Contemporary Art
After many years of effort invested in securing an
adequate space for the Museum, either by
remodelling the existing or by constructing a
building, a decision was made in 1998 in favour of
the latter option. The new location was set in Novi
Zagreb, at the crossroads of Većeslav Holjevac and
Dubrovnik Avenues. On 17 November 2003, the
construction works on the new Museum of
Contemporary Art officially began. The new building
was finally opened in late autumn of 2009. The
11
ground floor is entirely intended for the visitors – it
contains the museum shop, children’s workshop,
library with a reading hall, a minor exhibition space,
restaurant, and a multimedia hall. The exhibition
rooms are located on the upper floors of the
Museum, constructed in a meander-like form.
Multifaceted as they are, they make it possible to
enlarge, diminish, and intertwine the permanent
collection and the temporary exhibitions,and are
suitable for exhibiting and presenting even the most
demanding exhibition projects.

The Institute of Economics

The Institute of Economics, Zagreb is a public scientific institute, founded in
1939., that conducts scientific and development research in the field of
economics. They are particularly dedicated to conducting empirical research in
order to improve the understanding of Croatia's economy and identify policy
measures that could spur its growth and development. We will have the
opportunity to talk with the young ecomists, who are doing all the research on
Croatian economy.

Croatian Parliament

13
The Croatian Parliament is a representative body of
citizens and is vested with the legislative power in
the Republic of Croatia. The Parliament, as the
oldest state institution, has been advocating,
guaranteeing and protecting Croatia’s statehood
and national interests throughout centuries. Until the
mid-nineteenth century, membership in the
Parliament was restricted to members of the
aristocracy and clergy. Then in 1848, pursuant to the
Electoral Order issued at the command of Josip
Jelačić – Croatia’s ban, or royal governor - the first
Parliament of citizens in Croatia was elected. All
able-bodied members from the previous Parliament
remained in it (at the invitation of the ban), while an
additional 192 representatives of the people, elected
regardless 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
system, the Parliament acquired a new, more important role in
Croatia’s political system. After the elimination of the Chamber of
Counties under the constitutional amendments enacted in 2001, the
Croatian Parliament became unicameral.

Mr. Neven Mimica

Neven Mimica is a politician and diplomat. Mimica

graduated from the University of Zagreb Faculty of
Economics in 1976. Between 1979 and 1997 he
held positions in various governmental bodies
related to foreign relations and foreign trade
policies, including several counseling positions at
embassies in Cairo and Ankara. In 1997 he was
appointed assistant to the Croatian Minister of
Economy and served as Croatia's chief negotiator
during the country's accession to the World Trade
Organization and the European Union Association
Agreement. In September 2001 he became Minister
of Integration under Prime Minister Ivica Račan,
position he held until December 2003.
He was elected to the Croatian Parliament in 2003 as a
representative of the Social Democratic Party, and again in 2007.
Since January 2008 he serves as deputy speaker of the Croatian
parliament and is also the chairman of the parliament's committee
for European integration.

15
“Croata” ties

Did you know that Croatia is the mother country of the necktie?
During the European Thirty Years War (1618-1648),
the Croatian legendary light cavalry reached all the
way to Paris. It is interesting that the Croats, as part
of their traditional national costume, tied lively
colored scarves around their neck in their own
special manner. In time od Louis XIV, this beautiful
Croatian style impressed the fastidious Parisiens so
much that they adopted this new fashion item worn
“a la maniere croate” (in the Croatian way). This is
the story of Cravat’s entrance into the fashion of the
time, the story of Europe and the whole civilized
world conquered by cravat as symbol of culture and
prestige.

wall writings" (Gljagolica = the old Croatian writing) are preserved in
the church, written in the formative period of Glagolitic (the second
half of the 12th century) and they are one of the oldest examples of
Croatian Glagolitic literary culture in the Middle Ages. Hum has a
population of only 6 people (2001 census), but is officially a town,
and is the Guinness World Record holder for the smallest town in the
world. The town museum displays a few Glagolitic writings.

Goodbye friends!
We will accompany you to the airport. We hope that you have all enjoyed the
Croatian Week and that you've had an unforgettable experience!! We also
hope that you will stay in touch with all the other participants after the
Programme and maybe visit each other even this very summer!!

All the best,

Ozren, Ivan, Ines & Petra

Participants
Let's see what the participants have to say about his/her match after
the Dutch Week:
Ozren Winkler
This guy, the best match evah, is always having a good time and he thinks that
everything will work out... eventually. So when you need to catch a plane or
something like that, you don't have to worry, because he will start packing his
stuff, 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 is
actually from Croatia. I'm really looking forward to next week!!!:D
Thomas van Pelt
Definitely the worst tour guide in the whole Universe, but definitely the best
possible host. Thomas is always cheerful and caring, sometimes beeing
overprotective (not in a negative way). I can't wait to see Thomas in „action“ in
Croatia, with a beer in one hand and with the other hand hugging all the
people around him ;-)))

Ivan Vrhovski

22
Ivan the magnificent is a social, singing, music making guy. He likes to
experience new things and can cook pancakes. Furthermore you can count on
him if you have to carry a drunk roommate to bed when she falls asleep on the
stairs.
Coen van Baal
I never thought I would meet a member of Royal family. :) Coen really showed
that he is a "dirty Harry" as he was probably the only successful Dutch
participant to closely interact with Croatian girls. He really loves beer and
because of cheep beer in Croatia I wonder if he will prolong his stay at my
place for at least 5-6 weeks. It won't be a problem as we get along quite well,
with or without cookies! :)

Petra Skrobot
Petra 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 during
the week we spent in the Netherlands was: “I like everything!” Especially
during the parties, she was unstoppable. And she doesn’t even get tired!
Getting up after 3 hours of sleep was no problem for her, she was just as
happy 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 Horvat
I 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 very
kind and friendly person, and she loves stroopwafels! We had a great week
together in the Netherlands and I am looking forward to spending the Croatian
week together with her!
Ellen Gruyters
If you don't have a company for going out, you can always call Ellen. She is
always ready for party. She is also always ready for making jokes. Be in her
company is always fun. She's best friend is Janneke, and they are spanding a
lot of time together.

Ines Kos
Ines is one of the committee members of the SEP in Croatia and I do think I
got to know her quite well during her stay over here. She seemed to be a
natural in cycling!! She got used to the cycling very fast I must say and that
really surprised me. She followed me everywhere! I experienced her as a
really calm and nice person who has everything under control. She was never
too tired to get up and always tried to get the best out of every day. She was
really enthusiastic and interested in what we prepared for everyone in the
Dutch Week. I really like her being my match and I am sure she will be a good
host for me during the Croatian Week!
Janneke Driessen

23
Janneke is a lovely Dutch girl who unlike other has a hair-dryer :) There is no
rush for her, she'll make on time using shortcuts and fast bike riding. We'll see
how 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 spends
her summer weeks so we'll see how she likes the Croatian coast, hopefully
she'll find it appealing and maybe become one of our tourists this summer!

Maja Teklic
The first thing I remember about Maja is the picture she took off me at the
airport, even before we actually met;) I found that taking pictures is something
that Maja likes very much. She took pictures of everything, but that's probably
what I'm going to do during the Croatian week too! I had a very good time with
Maja 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 the
rest of you!

Stephanie Matse
Interesting girl with superpowers, she can ride a bike with wet hair and in heels
without socks while it's -10°C and she doesn't catch a cold :) She loves to
travel so I'm wondering whether is she going to be Chinese girl in Croatia, like
me in Netherlends.

Ivan Gregorovic
Ivan loves life, besides this he also loves to sleep. Ivan really likes to party and
when he does he does it good. So not standing with a beer in a pub easily
talking, no when you party you really party and dance! When Ivan came to the
Netherlands he really was looking forward to the "Dutch cookies",
unfortunately he found the effect of the cookies a bit disappointing. The dutch
stroopwafels were a lot better actually!"
Thomas van Steenis
Thomas is a great friend and a host. You can always rely on him and know that
he will be there for you. He is very smart and an excellent student, but also
real party animal. So don't be surprised if you see him last leaving the disco.

Dalibor Smoljanovic
This little bandit likes to dress up as a girl. He is really sportive guy and when
we were going to play football, insiders of this match evaluated him as the man
of the match. He was even getting out of bed on time.
Luk van den Borne
Always jolly and in a good mood, Luk will be prepared to help you, whenever
you need. Siple, kind and warm, he’ll be sincere friend and try to understand
all your problems. Person that you can always count on. Still free, so girls,
attack him ;-)

Masa Borko
Masha 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't
get bored during the guest lectures. But the thing that impressed her most
during the SEP was the big wind mill in Volendam.

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

Dunja Rozman
What can I say about Dunja? I think the most important thing is that she is a
super match!! That is not only because the fact that she prefers to take a
shower in the evening, and I prefer to take a shower in the morningso that is
perfect when you have to be ready at the same time in the morning. But also
because she is SUPER, very friendly, funny and social. The second day of the
dutch week, there were some friends at our house and they believed that she
was our new roommate. I wish she was! We had a lot of contact the last
weeks, 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 vrey
good 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 says
„no“ to a good party with her friends! Lovely girl ;-)

Kristina Zilic
This pretty Croatian girl is interested in everything around her. You can talk
with her about all kind of things and you’ll never be bored. During the Dutch
Week we found out that there is a big culture difference between the Dutch
and Croatian people: the hairdryer… After taking a shower, Kristina ALWAYS
needs a hairdryer!

Leonie van Kaam

Leonie is nice and polite girl, she is always smiled, but also a bit shy.Her dad is
great 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 Pazin
As we dind't get Sandra's opinion about Maja, we'll have to write a couple of
words. Maja is a 2nd year Economics student. She is a great friend, always with
a smile on her face (well, most of the time) and always ready for a fancy drink
when everyone else drinks beer ;-))

Sandra van Overveld
Sandra is the coolest Dutch  She is second year student studying business
administration and she passed all the exams until now! She is active in
Marketing Association at her Faculty and she went to South Africa for a month
last 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 that
riding a bike is the best thing ever, so long as it is not raining, snowing, blowing
or cold... which unfortunately is very rare here! Traditional Dutch sandwiches
with '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 or
cookies can make up for that!! I hope the glitters from 'Carnaval night' have
come off by now because it's time to check out Croatia!
Lauren Jenkins
Very sociable, communicative and talkative, Lauren will always be there for
you ready to help you – starting from those simple things such as providing
you superb dinner to those tricky ones such as giving you hand and support to
dance on the bar. Yes, ON the bar ;-) Rumors say that she knows everybody in
Tilburg, so don’t be surprised if, at the end of the Croatian week she gets to
know more people here than you!

Petar Deveric
What can I say about Petar? Petar or “the pharaoh” is a very nice and social
guy. Instead of me he didn’t had trouble to come out of bed early in the
morning. During the day Petar was a calm guy most of the time busy taking
pictures 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 to
party more. He is a great match and I’m looking forward to next week!
Mike Boumans
What 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 Kempkes
Steven is a good host and frend. He likes sports, especially football. He
prefers girls with blonde hair so Croatian blonds be prepared for Steven :)

Josip Juric
When I first saw his pictures on facebook I was a bit startled. But when I met
him at the airport he turned out to be a really nice guy and we get along very
well during the Dutch SEP week. Unlike some other Croatian people (very few
of course) he didn’t had difficulty to wake up early. Every morning when I
walked into the bathroom, sometimes half asleep or with a terrible headache,

26
he was already fully dressed. In summary, he was a great match and I am sure
we 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 also
very serious and, in the same time, very amusing. Michel is a real example of
an intellectual, that even in the toughest situations doesn't raise his voice at his
guests. I hope that he's going to release the brake he had in Holland and to
enjoy his time in Croatia, as his match did in Holland.

Jure Susan
As an experienced Sepper I can say Jure is the most easy going match I've
ever had. As long as he has either beer or meat he's satisfied. Jure is a real
party animal that stays out until late, but in the morning he's always ready to
start 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 how
to unlock his bike. He's very inventive because he turned himself into a negro
by only using some cork. It promises to become a great week with Jure in
Croatia!
Pim Kerckhaert
As Paul had to quit the programme (unfortunately), we are really happy that
someone entered the empty spot and is coming to Croatia. So, we have yet to
see how will Pim get along with all the other participants and we suppose that
se will enjoy his time here and won’t regred joining the programme!! Welcome
Pim!!

Nina Bunjevac
Nina is from Zagreb, Croatia where she lives on the 11th floor right in the
centre with her parents and a sister. She's a very spirited girl, unless it's 07:00
in 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 loves
dancing 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 to
witness during the first night in Café Philip when Nina went crazy dancing with
her 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 her
dream is to become a singer. She's planning to release her first album soon!
Hedviga Blazincic
A nice girl, who is an expert in cycling. She even managed it to cycle on high
heels. She is a serious girl who is really concerned about her family. She loves
cats,managed to cycle with very high heels, family-minded, cat-loving and
keen on stroopwafels!

Charlotte de Jonge
What to say about Charlotte? I am really glad to have met such a
polite, charming, communicative and interesting person who has

27
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 Kuvezdic
Macro (with other words Kuba) is an honest and stand-up guy. He likes a lot of
things; football and salsa are examples of it. Besides that, it's worth to mention
that he has a strange kind of humor. This is a small, but good description of
the person with the pink wings! Oohyea and of course the most
important person in his life is the beautiful girlfriend (Believe me, I have seen
pictures!).
Will-Jan Jacobs
Will-Jan is multitalented in drinking various types of alchohol beverages. If you
you 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'll
always have a lot of fun.

Hrvoje Puh
Hrvoje. The man with the difficult name. Hrvoje was interested in tasting the
Dutch way of life. He bought a fridge full of smoothies, just because he liked
them 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 last
day in Tilburg was a day full of smoothies for Hrvoje. But I'm quite sure he
didn'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 in
case you forgot to take a picture of something during the Dutch week, just ask
Hrvoje, 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 talk
with. 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 Verhoef
Laurens is a great chap, very friendly and sincere. He is also quite flexible and
ready to compromise which is great if you happen to be the complicated type.
His taste in music is pretty good as well :)
