The 3d ‘Večer hrvatskih povratnika’ (Croatian returnees dinner), organised by Hrvatska uzdanica together with the Croatian Heritage Foundation and Central State Office for Croats Abroad, will be held in December.
The 3d ‘Večer hrvatskih povratnika’ will take place on Thursday, 15 December 2022 at Hotel Sheraton in Zagreb from 7 pm.
The main goal of the event is to promote the union of Croatians at home and abroad, and place a focus on people returning to Croatia not only leaving.
It is also an opportunity to meet new people while enjoying a wonderful course dinner and dancing the night away to live music and guest performers. There will also be charity raffle on the night from Humanitarian Association “Fra Mladen Hrkač”.
The initial idea came about during a coffee with friends, as all good ideas in Croatia do, who then contacted Hrvatska uzdanica, an organisation that has its roots in Australia, and the Croatian Heritage Foundation and the rest they say is history.

These dinners were once organised by a Croatian returnees society some 20 years ago however given that the society disbanded, the dinners stopped too.
The dinners had been a great opportunity to meet other people who had returned to Croatia, to exchange experiences and offer solutions to returnee problems but also to just enjoy each other’s company and were a throwback to the ‘zabave’ dances we used to have in Croatian communities abroad.
