Taking a Break From Writing!

The past three years have been difficult for most. The Pandemic often stopped us from rejoicing in the company of family and friends and from travelling. I now intend to make up for the lost time and am heading across several countries for a well-deserved holiday and catch-up. However, I will continue writing my posts regularly but after Easter Sunday 2023 whence I plan to feel the ground of Croatia under my feet and all its amazing beauty!

I will not be visiting any blogs or portals during this time. Not until I write my first post after Easter. Thank you all for being with me all these past 12 years of this blog portal. I have been fortunate to belong to a world-wide community with my articles spanning over 227 countries and independent territories. I have been humbled by the number of times my articles have been cited in Academic Papers across the world and in several major books on the former Yugoslavia, on Croatia’s Homeland War, on transitioning from communism into democracy and freedom, on war veterans reintegration into society, on international justice and rights to self-determination.

At these very important coming weeks for Christianity and the world please keep in mind that Jesus told His disciples that His suffering was certain: “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life” (Luke 9:22; cf. 17:25). Note the word must—He must suffer, and He must be killed. The suffering of Christ was God’s plan for the salvation of the world.

Rejoice in the Resurrection of Christ! Happy and Blessed Easter everyone! Ina Vukic

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.
