A new voice on “blogosphere”: “I was only 12 yrs old when the Revolutions of 1989 took place and the collapse of communism began in Eastern Europe. The fall of the Berlin wall, the breakup of many Baltic States and the inevitable disintegration of Yugoslavia. The world was changing and there was new hope for Croats … ”

The thoughts of you didigrbesic as a 12 yo were that of many older on that night. I rem being working in London that time and it was hard to believe the wall coming down. Not long before the Chinese had masqueraded protesters in Tiananmen SQ.. Soon after on Christmas day the Nicolae & ElanaCeaușescu were executed.
Those times, the Berlin Wall coming down etc there was a general feeling of a new World peace. Most believed or didn’t know of the breaking up of Yugoslavia, would deteriorate into an outbreak war.To be honest I never knew of a country called Serbia or Bosnia then or Id ever be in Bosnia.
Its good to have those good optimistic memories ,
Thank You didigrbesic -
Muy Bueno!

Hello,
I’m Ina
I was born in Croatia and live Australia. I have been described as a prominent figure known for my contribution to the Croatian and wider societies, particularly in the context of Croatia’s transition from communism to democracy, as well as for my many years of work as a clinical psychologist and Chief Executive Officer of government-funded services for people with disabilities, including mental health services, in Australia. In 1995, the President of the Republic of Croatia awarded me two Medals of Honor, the Homeland War Memorial Medal and the Order of the Croatian Trefoil for her special merits and her contribution to the founding of the Republic of Croatia. I have been a successful blogger since 2011 and write extensively in the English-language on issues related to Croatian current affairs and democracy, as well as the challenges Croatia faced and still faces in its transition from communism. My goal is to raise awareness of these connections and issues worldwide.
