Note Some residents of Croatia who are accounted as foreigners or born abroad, were born in the former Yugoslavia (composed of the independent republics of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). Reading the corresponding values should be made considering this geopolitical shift over immigration.
The data from 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015 were revised by the UN and amended by OEm on 23/11/2022.
