In this week’s episode we have special guest Renee Pea, the Consul General of Croatia in Los Angeles. Born in Croatia and a career diplomat, Renee was sent on assignment to L.A. where her jurisdiction covers a large part of the western U.S.A. In this episode we’re going to learn about her and her role in helping Croatians abroad connect back with the Homeland. Renee talks about some of the most common problems that the Croatian diaspora face, including how the process of obtaining Croatian citizenships works. We (or I) also learn about the difference between a consulate and an embassy, and we hear some news about new trade agreements and policies, so stay tuned to find out!-Check out <a href="https://www.adriatictours.com/about-us/">Adriatic Tours</a>!Awesome YouTube <a href="https://youtu.be/SAFQ44Q4I3g">video</a>!Follow them on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adriatictours/">Instagram</a>!

Interview with Lucia Adžić - Croatian Podcaster and Motivator

Hey everyone! I'm Stanko Zovak and your host of the All Things Croatia podcast. Growing up as a member of the Croatian diaspora in Los Angeles, I was always involved in the community but wanted to do more. 3 years ago I quit my job and moved to Zagreb where I studied the Croatian language before eventually moving back to Los Angeles. With this weekly series, I want to connect the global Croatian community and allow people to share stories, learn about new ventures, and discover "All Things Croatia" as I talk (in English) with people both in the Homeland and around the globe who have connections to Croatia. You'll hear from athletes, returning diaspora, Olympians (believe it!), musicians, artists, and the biggest Croatian celebrities that will return my calls! I hope you enjoy these episodes as much as I do while recording them, and thanks so much for your support! Follow on Instagram at @allthingscroatiapodcast for more content and videos!
