CROATIA: Courting the EU

School children head home in the shadow of the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zagreb.  Construction of this Cathedral began in the second half of the 13th century.  Throughout long centuries of foreign domination, Catholicism was the unifying element in creating a sense of nationhood and has therefore played a big part in shaping the Croatian national identity.
