yes it should to get more money and all that stuff, but on the other hand do you want to go to croatia and find no more croatians? now i dont know if this will ever happen, no one does but at this rate of selling out who knows?

I don't know why you persist with this theory, I don't think there has ever been a race of people in modern times who've ceased to exist, you are also assuming that foreigners/immigrants that stay in Croatia, will not in anyway be assimilated into society. I mean for most of its history Croatia has in fact not existed anyway and yet now it has its own independent State. It is far more resilient than you make out. Plus those that are investing there are probably more interested in Croatian culture than the majority of Croatians are themselves. Its the way it works.

I dont think many foreigners actually stay there perminantly anway, they just come and go with the summer. Croatia isn't as international as Italy, spain, france in the way that its language isnt a non optionally inforced thing in schools worldwide. People are more likely to learn things and have easy access to learning french, german, italian and spanish rather that croatian. And so are more drawn towards going to those countries.

if croatia can survive a thousand years of occupation by various warring factions who didnt offer to buy your house so much as cut your throat and burn your house down, i really cant see what chance a small coterie of carpet beggars and a gaggle of admiring tourist have of ending the 'croatian dream'

Daria has more faces than a Croatian politiciana nd more cheek than a ham factory! Can you not get over the fact that Croatians LIVE in Croatia! Will you now start to exclude those who live here but were born in Bosnia? Kosovo? Or maybe those who are of mixed religion or etnicity? When will your nonsense end?
If you live, exist and contribute here, you are earning the right to be called Croatian, remember, in local eyes here, you're nothing but a prospective easy touch for money and when you've paid some cash you're laughed at for being just another gullible foreigner.
Please, this selling out it is total rubbish. The concept of a Croatian nation, similiar to French, British etc, is only a very recent load of codswallop meant to try sell poetry that was unreadable and bring very limited folks to power.
Focus more on facts and on citizenship, after all, you are "citizen" of a foreign country, enjoying it's rights and protections and a very high standard of living, care to swap all that to live in an outhouse in Mokro Polje? Didn't think so!

look im just saying there is a POSSIBILITY that this may happen. There is no way the rate of selling is going to down with all these new airlines going into Croatia, and |Croatia finally being recognized by the world. The only way is going up from here! So cant you consider the fact that there is a slight chance this could happen?? Thats all im saying...im not talking about stopping foreigners from coming thats just dumb.

A new face, again! Maybe it's tough to admit you've put forward a totally wrong case to begin with, that you don't understand why you were wrong, but to even contemplate that is a new face.
You've avoided the fact that for millenia this country has been seeing influxes of folks, even the "Croats" whoever they were. Croatia exists because a few power hungry headers decided to carve up some territory and make it their own. To finish the fact, what binds people in Slavonia and Dalmatia? A passport? Many differences, but living in the same bounded land.
Has the influx of over 100,000 folks from Bosnia damaged the country? Or are they different to other foreigners? Remember, you move to live here and you're a foreigner like all the rest of us who live and contribute here. "Bloodline" or no, living and contributing and adding to life is not selling out!
