History

Croatian philological studies have been organized in various framework and extents since the founding of the University of Zagreb and its Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. [1] The establishment of the Croatian studies unit at the University of Zagreb was closely intertwined with the studies of Slavic philology which were ongoing since the establishment of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in 1874. [1] Former assistant professor at the Charles University in Prague Leopold (Lavoslav) Geitler became the first full time professor of Slavic studies in Zagreb and two out of his twenty-one courses (namely the "Forms of the Croatian Language from the Perspective of Comparison" and "Old Bulgarian and Croatian Vocabulary") introduced Croatian studies as the university level discipline for the first time ever. [1] At the beginning of 1875/76 academic year the Department of Croatian or Serbian Language and Literature became independent from the Slavic Department. [1] At the turn of the century, special national philological studies were developed within the Slavic studies, primarily Russian studies followed by Polish, Bohemian and other branches of Slavic studies. [2] At the same time, Croatian studies continued to develop within the framework of Yugoslav or Serbo-Croatian studies. [2]

Croatia–North Macedonia relations are foreign relations between Croatia and North Macedonia. Two countries established diplomatic relations on 30 March 1992. Croatia is represented in North Macedonia via its Embassy in Skopje and honorary consul in Strumica while North Macedonia is represented in Croatia via its Embassy and the Cultural and Informational Center in Zagreb as well as consulate in Rijeka and honorary consul in Zadar. Croatia supports North Macedonia's European Union membership. Before their independence in early 1990s, both countries were constituent republics of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia as the SR Croatia and SR Macedonia respectively. Croatia was one of the first countries in the world to recognize the independence of the country during the period in which Zagreb itself awaited international recognition. During the long-lasting Macedonia naming dispute (1991-2019) and before the signature of the Prespa agreement Croatia was the first country in the world to recognize North Macedonia under its constitutional name of the Republic of Macedonia instead of appellation "the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia". Today, both countries are full members of the Council of Europe, and of the NATO. Croatia is an EU member and North Macedonia is an EU candidate. Since 2006 North Macedonia is a member state of the Central European Free Trade Agreement while Croatia was a member of the area between 2003 and 2013. Croatia strongly supports accession of North Macedonia to the European Union and also supported its NATO membership, being one of the first countries to ratify the membership protocol. Trade between the two countries reached 221 million euros in 2020.
