INTRODUCTION

In February 2003, Croatia submitted its application for membership of the European

Union. In June 2004 Croatia was awarded candidate country status and in October 2005

the European Union and Croatia started accession negotiations. These negotiations were

concluded in June 2011. On 1 December 2011 the European Parliament approved

Croatia's accession as the 28th member of the EU. Croatia and the EU signed the

accession treaty on 9 December 2011. Following the ratification procedure in all Member

States and Croatia, Croatia’s accession is foreseen for 1 July 2013.

The objective of this Flash Eurobarometer 337 is to measure Croatians' perceptions,

views and attitudes on their country’s relationship with the EU. The results of this survey

should help to guide and streamline communication efforts during the final stage of the

accession process before Croatia’s entry into the EU in July 2013.

The survey was conducted before both the vote of the European Parliament on Croatia’s

accession on 1 December 2011 and the Parliamentary Elections held in Croatia on 4

December 2011. The survey was also conducted before the Croatian referendum on

accession held on 22 January 20121; however the survey has no direct link with the

referendum, neither does it test voting intentions in the referendum.

The fieldwork of this survey was conducted from 28 to 30 November 2011. The survey is

based on 1019 randomly conducted telephone interviews (land lines and mobile phones)

among a representative sample of the Croatian population above the age of 15 years.

This Flash Eurobarometer was carried out by TNS Political & Social. It was carried out for

the European Commission (at the request of the Directorate-General for Enlargement

(DG ELARG) and coordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication (“Research

and Speechwriting” Unit)).

1 66,25% of the voters said "yes" to Croatia's EU accession (http://www.euractiv.com/enlargement/croats-resounding-eu-membership-news-510307)

MAIN FINDINGS

The future of Croatia

A large majority of Croatians enjoy living in Croatia (89%) and are confident

about the country’s future (78%).

The prospect of EU membership seems to influence on Croatians’ attitudes to the

future of their country. 82% of respondents who believe that Croatia should be in

the EU also see Croatia’s future in a positive light, compared to only 70% of

those opposed to EU membership.

Familiarity with the EU

The level of familiarity with the EU is high in Croatia; two-thirds of Croatian

respondents agreed with the statement “I feel familiar with the EU” (63%).

Familiarity is closely linked to expectations about personal benefits from EU

membership. The older the respondents, the more familiar they feel with the EU.

The better their education, the more familiar respondents feel with the EU.

Croatians acknowledge the EU as a factor for peace and stability in Europe.

Nearly 6 out of 10 Croatian respondents agreed that the EU contributes to peace

and stability in Europe (59%).

Support for EU Membership

Almost 6 out of 10 Croatians believe that Croatia’s future should lie in the EU.

32% of respondents totally agree and 27% tend to agree that Croatia’s future

should be in the EU, while only 22% of respondents strongly disagreed.

Support for the EU rises with age. In Croatia, members of the oldest age group

(55 years or older) are the strongest supporters of both EU membership and the

euro. Overall, younger people in Croatia tend to be more sceptical about a

number of aspects of EU membership than the older generations.

More than 4 respondents out of 10 in Croatia (41%) expect personal benefits

from EU membership while only 18% think that EU membership would be

personally detrimental. A large proportion of respondents said that it would be

neither beneficial nor detrimental to them personally (39%).


5

Overall, familiarity and the expectation of personal benefits from EU membership

have the strongest influence on positive attitudes to membership. Respondents

who combine familiarity with the EU with the expectation of personal gain from

EU membership are most likely to be enthusiastic about EU membership

generally.

Support for the euro

While two-thirds of respondents agreed that EU membership would improve the

Croatian economy, slightly less than half agreed that the euro would be beneficial

(49%).

Consequences of EU membership

Croatians mainly expect positive consequences from EU membership in the area

of economic benefits. More than three-quarters said that it will bring more

business investment and boost tourism in Croatia (both 78%) and nearly three-

quarters that it will help to improve the economy (66%). More than half of

respondents (52%) think that jobs will not be lost because of EU membership.

However, slightly more than 8 out of 10 Croatians (81%) agreed that EU

membership will cause prices to increase and nearly 7 out of 10 agreed that the

EU would have too much control over national policies (69%). A majority of 53%

also believe that membership will have a negative effect on Croatia’s agriculture

and the independence of its farmers.

Croatians and EU values

Croatians share the values of EU citizens. Almost 7 out of 10 Croatian

respondents (68%) agreed with the statement “Croatians and EU citizens share

the same values, such as democracy and human rights”.

Croatia’s membership and the Schengen area

85% of respondents agreed that “Croatia’s participation in the Schengen

Agreement, which means opening borders and freedom of movement, would be a

positive development.”


6

Croatian support for opening Croatia’s borders and for free movement within the

Schengen area is very high, whether or not respondents want their country to

join the EU. Two-thirds of the respondents who do not support Croatia’s

membership would nevertheless welcome participation in the Schengen

Agreement.

Information and awareness of the EU

Croatians are on average well-informed about the EU in general (54%), but lack

information about matters such as financial assistance before and after EU

accession.

Croatian women tend to be less well-informed than men about the EU in general,

the accession process and financial assistance before and after EU accession.

Half of the Croatians interviewed were aware of the role Member States play in

the governance of the EU. More than half (56%) were aware of the fact that once

Croatia is a member of the EU, Croatian citizens will have the right to elect

Members of the European Parliament and that Croatia will appoint an EU

Commissioner.

Travelling outside Croatia

Almost two-thirds of respondents (65%) reported that they had travelled outside

Croatia several times in the past five years. Croatians who travel abroad

predominantly visit their neighbouring countries. Financial reasons were cited as

the main factor preventing Croatians from travelling outside their country.

Travelling outside Croatia correlates with expectations of personal benefits from

EU membership. 43% of those who have travelled abroad expect membership to

benefit them, while only 17% expect membership to be detrimental for them.

Countries “close” to Croatia

The EU country that the largest proportion of Croatian respondents felt closest to

is Germany (35%), followed by Slovenia (27%) and Austria (26%).

Croatia’s support for EU membership for other countries in the region is low.

Slightly more than half of the respondents supported the accession of Bosnia and

Herzegovina (51%), while all other candidate countries or potential candidates

received less than 50% support.


7

Croatians and the media

Croatians trust information on current affairs from international media (68%)

slightly more than local (65%) and national sources (63%).

Overall, television is the most important channel of public information in Croatia,

both for current affairs in general and information about the EU.

The Internet is an effective way of reaching young respondents and students, all

of whom rely on the Internet more than on television for information about both

current affairs and the EU.


8

1. ATTITUDES OF CROATIANS TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY

- A large majority of Croatians enjoy living in Croatia and are confident about

the country’s future -

Almost 9 out of 10 Croatian

respondents agreed with the

statement “I enjoy living in Croatia”.

Only 10% said that do not enjoy

living in Croatia. Croatian women

and men enjoy living in Croatia

almost equally, the female approval

rate being 91% compared to a male

approval rate of 88%. Older people

tend to enjoy living in Croatia more

than young people: 94% of the 55+

age group and 91% of 40-54 year-

olds enjoy living in Croatia, while

only 83% of 25-39 year-olds do so.

The youngest age group (15-24 years) is more enthusiastic about living in Croatia than

25-39 year-olds, with an approval rate of 88%.

Regional differences and urbanisation do not have a strong influence on whether or not

respondents enjoy living in Croatia.

Respondents’ perceptions of the future of Croatia strongly influence whether or not

Croatians enjoy living in their country. 97% of respondents who are confident about the

future of Croatia said that they enjoyed living in Croatia. However, only 64% of

respondents who are not confident about Croatia’s future enjoy living in Croatia.

Respondents who think that Croatia should be in the EU enjoy living in Croatia more

(93%) than respondents who think that Croatia should not be in the EU (83%). Similarly,

92% of Croatians who expect EU membership to bring them some form of personal gain

enjoy living in Croatia, compared to only 80% of the respondents who do not expect

personal benefits from Croatia’s EU membership.


9

Respondents who are familiar with the EU are more likely to enjoy living in Croatia than

respondents who are not familiar with the EU: 92% of Croatians who are familiar with

the EU enjoy living in Croatia, while only 86% of those who are not familiar with the EU

agreed with the statement: “I enjoy living in Croatia”.

The degree of familiarity with the EU, coupled with expectations that EU membership will

bring personal benefits, accompanies positive attitudes to living in Croatia. 93% of

respondents who are both familiar with the EU and believe that EU membership will bring

personal benefits enjoy living in Croatia. Among those respondents who are neither

familiar with the EU nor expect personal benefits from EU membership, only 76% said

that they enjoy living in Croatia.


10

*This variable is the combination of the variable on Familiarity with the EU and Personal gain of a future

membership, i.e. for instance the sub-category “familiar and beneficial” are the respondents who say that they

were familiar with the EU and that Croatia’s membership of the EU would be beneficial etc. …


11

Overall, a large majority of

Croatians are confident about the

future of their country. Almost 8

out of 10 respondents agreed with

the statement “I am confident about

the future of Croatia”. 38% of

Croatians totally agreed, and a

further 40% tended to agree. Only

7% of respondents said they were

“not at all” confident about Croatia’s

future. Female respondents (79%)

are slightly more confident about

Croatia’s future than male

respondents (76%).

Younger respondents were less confident about Croatia’s future than older

respondents. The most confident age group was the 55+ year-olds, 83% of whom were

confident about Croatia’s future. 25-39 year-olds were the least confident, only 69%

saying that they were confident about Croatia’s future. In comparison, 75% of 15-24

year-olds and 79% of 40-54 year-olds agreed with the statement.

The prospect of EU membership seems to accompany positive attitudes to the

country’s future. 82% of respondents who believe that Croatia should be in the EU also

see Croatia’s future in a positive light, compared to only 70% of those opposed to EU

membership.

Croatians who are familiar with the EU feel more confident about their country’s future

than Croatians who are not familiar with the EU. Among those who are familiar with the

EU, 82% feel confident about Croatia’s future compared to only 72% of respondents who

are not familiar with the EU.

A similar picture emerges when we consider the relationship between expectations of

personal benefits from EU membership, the level of familiarity with the EU and attitudes

towards Croatia’s future. 86% of respondents who think that EU membership will be

personally beneficial and who are familiar with the EU also feel confident about Croatia’s

future. However, only 59% of respondents who believe that EU membership will be

detrimental to them and who are not familiar with the EU feel confident about Croatia’s

future.


12

Overall, respondents’ confidence about Croatia’s future appears to decline among

respondents with lower familiarity coupled with the expectation that EU membership will

be personally detrimental.





13

2. CROATIAN ATTITUDES TO THE EU

2.1 Familiarity with the EU

- Croatians feel familiar with the EU-

Nearly two-thirds of Croatians agree

with the statement “I feel familiar

with the EU” (23% totally agree,

40% tend to agree). Only 36% do

not feel familiar with the EU. A larger

percentage of Croatian men (67%)

than women (59%) feel familiar with

the EU.

The level of familiarity rises with

age and length of full-time

education. The older the

respondents, the more familiar they

feel with the EU. While only 57% of

15-24 year-olds agree with the statement “I feel familiar with the EU”, 69% of the 55+

age group do so. Respondents who spent longer in full-time education tend to be more

familiar with the EU. 42% of those who left school at age 15 or earlier say that they are

familiar with the EU. Among the group who remained in education until the age of 16-19,

the level of familiarity rises to 59%. The proportion of respondents who are familiar with

the EU rises to 74% among respondents who were educated until the age of 20 or later

(compared to 42% for respondents with the lowest level of education).

While the majority of Croatian self-employed and white-collar respondents say that they

feel familiar with the EU (69% and 64% respectively), only 40% of manual workers do

so. Of those not working, 63% feel familiar with the EU.


14

Whether respondents report that they live in a rural or urban location has almost no

impact on familiarity with the EU (60% of respondents living in rural villages, 59% in

small/mid-size towns and 61% in large towns say they feel familiar with the EU).2

However, there are substantial regional differences. 72% of respondents living in

the capital (Zagreb) say they are familiar with the EU, compared to 69% in Istra, Rijeka

and Gorski Kotar, 64% in Dalmatia, 59% in Slavonia, 58% in Lika and Banovina and

55% in North Croatia.

Among the respondents expecting a personal benefit from EU membership, 76% feel

familiar with the EU, compared to only 50% of those who believe that EU membership

will be personally detrimental.

Respondents who have travelled outside Croatia are more likely to agree with the

statement “I feel familiar with the EU” than respondents who have not done so (66% and

53% respectively).

73% of respondents who rely on information sources from the EU also feel familiar with

the Union, as do those using national government information sources. The level of

agreement drops to 60% among those whose information comes from TV and radio, 68%

among those relying on the written press and 69% of respondents using online

resources.

Generally, Croatians who say that that they are well-informed about the EU are also

more likely to feel familiar with the EU. 81% of all respondents who say they are well-

informed3 about the EU also feel familiar with the EU. In contrast, 41% of respondents

who said that they were not well-informed said that they feel familiar with the EU.

3 Based on the question “Personally, do you think you are well informed or not about the EU?”


15

*Readers should keep in mind that the numbers of respondents in this category are especially low (less than 50

respondents). The results should therefore be interpreted with caution.


16

- Croatians and EU citizens share the same values -

Almost 7 in 10 Croatian

respondents agreed that

“Croatians and EU citizens share

the same values, such as

democracy and human rights”.

Among those who generally

agreed with the statement, 47%

tended to agree, while 21%

strongly agreed. Only 29%

disagreed that Croatians and EU

citizens share the same values,

of whom 13% disagreed

strongly and 16% tended to

disagree.

Women were more likely than men to agree that Croatian and EU citizens share the same

values (70% and 65% respectively). The youngest age group (15-24 year-olds) record

the highest rate of agreement with this statement (74%), compared with 62% of 25-39

year-olds, 65% of 40-54 year-olds and 71% of the 55+ age group.

Respondents whose full-time education ended at the age of 15 or before are more likely

to agree that Croatia shares common values with the EU (73%) than respondents who

finished their education at the age of 16-19 (62%. A still higher level of agreement was

measured among respondents whose full-time education ended at age 20 or later (70%).

Respondents who are still studying are the most likely (81%) to agree.

Of those who thought that Croatia should be in the EU, 80% also agreed that Croatians

and EU citizens share the same values, compared to only 50% of the respondents who

believe that Croatia should not be in the EU.


17

Respondents who felt familiar with the EU were far more likely to agree with the

statement “Croatians and EU citizens share the same values (…)” than those who feel

unfamiliar with the EU (75% and 55% respectively). However, how well-informed

respondents feel4 has only a minor influence on attitudes to the commonality of values.

Respondents who believe they are personally well-informed and those who do not are

almost equally likely to agree that Croatians and EU citizens share the same values (66%

and 69% respectively).

Familiarity with the EU and expectations of personal gains or losses from EU

membership influence attitudes to the commonality of values. Croatians who are

both familiar with the EU and think that EU membership will bring a personal benefit are

most likely to believe that Croatians and EU citizens share the same values (84%). In

contrast, only 43% of respondents who are familiar with the EU but believe EU

membership will be detrimental to them personally agree. Croatians who are not familiar

with the EU but believe that EU membership will be personally beneficial generally agree

that they share common values with EU citizens (73%). But only 34% of respondents

who are neither familiar with the EU nor expect to benefit personally from EU

membership do so.

4 Based on the question “Personally, do you think you are well informed or not about the EU?”


18





19

- A majority of Croatians believe that the EU contributes to peace and stability

in Europe -

A majority of almost 60% of Croatian

respondents agree that the EU

contributes to peace and stability in

Europe (21% totally agree, 38%

tend to agree). Of those who

disagree, 22% tend to disagree and

16% strongly disagree. The gender

difference is small: 57% of women

agree that the EU contributes to

peace and stability compared to 63%

of men. (However, women answered

“don’t know” twice as often as men:

2% and 4% respectively.)

The level of approval of the statement “The EU contributes to peace and

stability in Europe” varies significantly with age. While 70% of the 55+ age group

agree with the statement, only 58% of 40-54 year-olds, 53% of 25-39 year-olds and

49% of 15-24 year-olds do so. The younger the respondent, the less likely they are to

believe that the EU contributes to peace and stability in Europe.

Education is also a discriminating factor. 57% of respondents who finished their full-

time education at age 15 or before or at the age of 16-19 agree that the EU contributes

to peace and stability in Europe. With respondents who completed their full-time

education at age 20 or later, the percentage rises by 9 percentage points to 66%.

However, only half of the respondents still studying believe that the EU contributes to

peace and stability in Europe. Occupational differences also play a part: self-employed

and white-collar respondents are more likely to agree that the EU is a factor for peace

and stability (60% and 59% respectively) than manual workers (48%).

Among those respondents who say that Croatia should be in the EU, 8 out of 10 agree

that the EU contributes to peace and stability in Europe, compared to 3 out of 10 who

believe that Croatia should not be in the EU.


20

Respondents who say they are well-informed about the EU are more likely to

see the EU as a factor for peace and stability (64%) than their counterparts who do

not feel well-informed (54%). In addition, Croatians are twice as likely to regard the EU

as a factor for peace and stability if they are familiar with the EU (74%) than if they are

not (39%).

There appears to be a strong link between the level of familiarity with the EU,

expectations of personal gains or losses from EU membership and respondents’ attitudes

to the EU as a factor for peace and stability in Europe. 87% of the respondents who

believe that EU membership will be personally beneficial and who are familiar with the EU

agree that the EU contributes to peace and stability in Europe. Agreement with this

proposition drops to 12% when respondents are both unfamiliar with the EU and believe

that EU membership will be detrimental to them.


21



**This variable is the combination of the variable on Familiarity with the EU and Personal gain of a future




22

2.2 Perceptions of information about the EU and Croatia’s accession process

- Croatians are well-informed about the EU in general, but lack information

about financial assistance before and after EU accession -

A majority of 54% of respondents believe they are well-informed about the EU in general

(10% very well-informed, 44% fairly well-informed). Less than half of the respondents

(44%) also say they are well-informed about Croatia’s accession process. However, when

it comes to financial assistance before and after accession, only about a third of

respondents feel well- informed. 66% of respondents said they were uninformed about

EU financial assistance prior to accession (46% “not very well informed”, 20% “not at all

informed”). Similarly, 65% said they were either not very well-informed or not at all

informed about the finance Croatia will receive from the EU after accession (45% “not

very well informed”, 20% “not at all informed”).

There is a striking gender difference in the degree to which respondents feel

well-informed about the EU, the accession process and financial assistance before and

after accession. Women tend to feel less well-informed than men about all these areas.

When asked about whether they feel well-informed about the EU, 64% of male

respondents answered “very well” or “fairly well” in contrast to only 46% of women.

When asked about the accession process, 51% of male respondents answered “very well”

or “fairly well” as opposed to only 37% of women. With regard to financial assistance

from the EU prior to accession 41% of male respondents said they felt well-informed

compared to 26% of female respondents. And finally, with regard to finance Croatia will

receive from the EU after accession, 43% of male respondents said they felt “very well”

or “fairly well” informed, as opposed to 23% of women.


23

Younger people seem to feel better-informed about the EU in general than older

people. Both 59% of 15-24 year-olds and 25-39 year-olds said they felt well-informed.

For the 40-54 year-olds, the percentage drops to 53% and for the 55+ age group it

declines further to 51%.

However, in all other areas, the age trend is inversed. The older the respondent, the

more likely they are to say they know about the accession process and financial

assistance before and after EU accession.

Results show that the longer respondents have been educated, the more likely

they are to feel well-informed about the EU. 34% of respondents who left school at

15 or before said they felt “very well” or “fairly well” informed, while this figure rose to

48% of respondents whose education ended at the age of 16-19 and 63% of respondents

who remained in education until the age of 20 or later. 63% of students felt very or fairly

well-informed about the EU.

Respondents who spent longer in full-time education are also likely to feel better-

informed about the accession process. 27% of respondents who left school at 15 or

before said they felt very or fairly well-informed, rising to 39% in the group whose

education ended at the age of 16-19 and 52% of respondents who remained in education

until age 20 or beyond. The trend is repeated in respect of information about financial

assistance prior to accession and financing after accession.

In terms of occupation, manual workers are less than half as likely to feel well -informed

about the EU in general as self-employed and white-collar respondents (60% of both

self-employed and white-collars, 26% of manual workers are well informed about the

EU). This trend is replicated in the case of information about the accession process. 28%

of manual workers feel well-informed about the accession process as compared to 43%

of self-employed respondents and 45% of white-collars. In the case of financial

assistance prior to accession, the difference between occupations is less pronounced.

38% of self-employed respondents, 34% of white-collars and 27% of manual workers

report that they feel informed about financial assistance prior to accession. Curiously,

this trend is reversed in the case of financial assistance after accession. While 40% of

manual workers feel very or fairly well-informed, only 37% and 36% of self-employed

respondents and white-collar workers respectively feel well-informed about financial

assistance after accession.


24

There is a clear association between familiarity with the EU and the level of

information. Among respondents who say they are familiar with the EU, 68% also say

they are very or fairly well-informed about the EU, compared to 27% of respondents who

are unfamiliar. 56% of respondents who are familiar with the EU are also well-informed

about the accession process, compared to 24% who are unfamiliar with the EU. The

corresponding figures for information about financial assistance prior to accession are

43% (familiar and well-informed) and 15% (unfamiliar and well-informed). For

information about finances after accession, the percentages are 43% (familiar and well-

informed) and 16% (unfamiliar and well-informed).

Respondents tend to be better-informed about the EU if they have traveled

outside Croatia. 60% of those who have traveled outside Croatia are very or fairly well-

informed as compared to 39% who have not done so. This trend is repeated in the case

of information about the accession process and financial assistance before and after EU

accession.

There is a degree of correlation between feeling well-informed and the

expectation of personal gains or losses from EU membership. Of those who said

that they expected a personal benefit from EU membership 60% are very or fairly well-

informed about the EU, compared to 53% who expected EU membership to be personally

detrimental. In the case of the accession process, the figures are 48% (EU membership

beneficial and well-informed) to 44% (EU membership detrimental and well- informed).

For financial assistance prior to accession, the figures are 38% (EU membership

beneficial and well-informed) to 41% (EU membership detrimental and well-informed).

And finally, in the case of post-accession finance, 38% of both those believing that EU

membership will be personally beneficial and of those believing it will be detrimental say

they are well-informed.


25

*Readers should keep in mind that the numbers of respondents in this category are especially low (less than 50 respondents). The results should therefore be interpreted

with caution.


26

2.3 Awareness of facts about EU membership

- A majority of Croatians are aware of main facts regarding EU membership -

The majority of respondents (56%) are aware that once Croatia is a member of the EU,

Croatian citizens will have the right to elect Members of the European Parliament

(MEPs). The majority of respondents (56%) are also aware that after accession, Croatia

will appoint an EU Commissioner. Further, 49% of Croatians state that they are very or

fairly aware of the role Member States play in the governance of the EU.

Again, as in the case of information about the EU and the accession process, there is a

gender difference in the extent of awareness about these main facts. While

64% of male respondents are aware that EU citizens have the right to elect MEPs, this

is true of only 50% of female respondents. 62% of male respondents are aware that

Croatia will appoint an EU Commissioner, compared to 51% of Croatian women. 57% of

Croatian men are aware of the role Member States play in the governance of the EU as

opposed to only 41% of women.

The results provide no conclusive data about the influence of age on awareness of these

crucial facts. However, education and awareness are related. 43% of respondents

who left school at the age of 15 or earlier said that they were aware of the right of EU

citizens to elect MEPs. The level of awareness rises to 52% in the group whose

education ended at age 16-19 and to 64% for respondents who studied until age 20 or

more. Awareness of the right of EU citizens to elect MEPs rises with education levels.

This trend is repeated in the cases of the fact that Croatia will appoint an EU

Commissioner and the role Member States play in the governance of the EU.


27

Whether or not respondents think that Croatia should be in the EU also

correlates with awareness of these facts. 62% of respondents who think that

Croatia’s future should lie in the EU are also aware of their future right to elect MEPs,

compared to 50% of those who disagree. Respondents who support Croatia’s

membership of the EU are also more likely to be aware of other crucial aspects, such as

the appointment of an EU Commissioner and the role Member States play in the

governance of the EU.

Almost twice as many ‘informed’ as ‘not informed’ respondents are aware of

these essential facts. The same trend was evident in the case of familiarity with the

EU: 61% of respondents who said they were familiar with the EU are aware of the role

Member States play in EU governance, compared to 30% who are unaware.

2.4 Attitudes towards EU membership, adopting the euro and Croatia’s

membership of the Schengen area

- A majority of Croatians want Croatia to join the EU -

Almost 6 out of 10 respondents

(59%) agreed that Croatia’s

future should be in the EU. Of

these 59% in favour of Croatia’s

membership, a larger proportion

(32%) totally agree that Croatia’s

future should be in the EU, and

27% tend to agree. 22% of

respondents stated that they

totally disagree and 16% tend to

disagree.

There is hardly any gender

difference as regards the Croatian

attitude to EU membership. 60%

of male respondents and 58% of female respondents believe that Croatia should be in

the EU.

Age is a significant factor in whether or not respondents think that Croatia

should join the EU. The majority of 15-24 year-olds (56%) say that Croatia’s future

should not lie in the EU. At the other end of the age scale, respondents aged 55+ are

most likely to support Croatia’s membership of the EU: 44% strongly agree and 27%

tend to agree (together 71%). In comparison less than half as many 15-24 year-olds

‘strongly agree’ with Croatia’s EU membership (18%). Among 25-54 year-olds, a

majority of 55%-56% believe that Croatia’s future should be in the EU.

There is a strong relationship between expectations of personal gains or losses

from EU membership and whether respondents think that Croatia should join

the Union. 82% of those who expect personal benefits from EU membership think that

Croatia should be in the EU, as compared to 13% who believe EU membership will be

detrimental for them.


30

Respondents who consider themselves familiar with the EU are much more in

favour of Croatian membership than those who are not familiar with the EU

(71% versus 42%). Respondents who are both familiar with the EU and expect to benefit

personally from EU membership are most likely to support Croatia’s membership (87%).

The analysis of the combined effect of the two variables shows that familiarity with the

EU has a stronger effect on attitudes to EU membership than expectations of

personal gains or losses. Of those respondents who are unfamiliar with the EU but

expect a personal benefit from Croatia’s membership, 69% support accession. The

influence of familiarity is even stronger in the case of respondents whose personal

expectations of EU membership are neutral. 70% of those who expect neither personal

gains nor losses from EU membership but who are familiar with the EU support Croatia’s

membership. However, only 45% of those who are neutral and unfamiliar with the EU

believe that Croatia’s future should lie in the EU.

Perceptions of the impact of EU membership on the Croatian economy are

linked with respondents’ attitudes to Croatia’s membership. Respondents who

agree that EU membership will have a positive influence on the Croatian economy are

much more likely to approve of Croatia’s accession (76%) than those who disagree

(26%).

71% of respondents who believe that the national economy will not benefit from EU

membership do not support Croatia’s accession, compared to 22% who reject EU

membership for other than economic reasons. Among respondents who believe that EU

membership will lead to a loss of cultural identity, a majority of 55% nevertheless

support Croatia’s EU accession.

The belief that Croatia’s membership of the EU will interfere with national politics does

not necessarily deter respondents from agreeing that Croatia’s future should be in the

EU. 55% of respondents who think that Croatia’s EU membership will interfere with

national politics support its accession, compared to 43% who do not think so.

Finally, there are regional differences in the support for Croatia’s EU

membership. In Slavonia and Dalmatia, support stands at 53%. In Zagreb and North

Croatia, support is higher: with 61% of respondents in these areas want Croatia to join

the EU. Respondents from Lika and Banovina and in Istra, Rijeka and Gorski Kotar show

the highest level of support: 67% and 66% respectively believe that Croatia’s future

should be in the EU.


31





32

- Nearly 40% of Croatians are undecided about the personal benefits of EU

membership -

More than 4 respondents out of 10

said that they expect Croatia’s EU

membership to be beneficial to them

personally (10% very beneficial,

31% moderately beneficial).

However, 39% are undecided and

said that they expect Croatia’s EU

membership to be neither beneficial

nor detrimental. 18% stated that for

them personally, Croatia’s

membership of the EU would be

detrimental.

Croatian women tended to be

more sceptical about the personal benefits of EU membership than men. While

45% of male respondents expected EU membership to be personally beneficial, only 38%

of female respondents do so. A relative majority of female respondents expected

Croatia’s EU membership to be neither beneficial nor detrimental (45%). Among male

respondents, only 32% voiced a neutral opinion (neither/nor) on this subject.

The more years of full-time education respondents have completed, the more

optimistic they are about personal benefits from EU membership. 45% of

respondents who had remained in full-time education until the age of 20 or after believe

that Croatia’s membership of the EU will bring them some form of personal gain. For

respondents who remained in education until the age of 16-19, the proportion drops to

40%. Only 32% of respondents who left school at 15 or younger believe that they will

benefit personally from EU membership. Again, a large proportion of respondents of all

levels of education expect Croatia’s EU membership to be neither beneficial nor

detrimental (39-40%).


33

Respondents living in urban areas are more likely to expect personal benefits

from EU membership than respondents living in rural areas. 44% of respondents

in large towns and 43% of respondents in small and mid-sized towns think that Croatia’s

EU membership will bring them some form of personal gain, compared with only 35% of

those living in rural villages. Again, at all levels of subjective urbanisation, about 4 in 10

respondents expect Croatia’s EU membership to be neither beneficial nor detrimental.

Respondents seem to associate personal benefit from EU membership with

economic improvements brought by membership. 53% of those who believe that

EU membership will improve the national economy in Croatia also expect that it will

benefit them personally. Conversely, only 17% of respondents who do not think that EU

membership will improve the national economy expect any personal benefit. 39% of both

respondents who believe that EU membership will improve the national economy in

Croatia and of those who think the contrary are undecided about personal benefits from

EU membership.

Travelling outside Croatia correlates with the expectation that EU membership will be

personally beneficial. Of those who have travelled abroad, 43% expect membership to be

beneficial to them whereas only 17% expect membership to be personally detrimental.

Among those who had not travelled outside Croatia in the last five years, 33% (as

compared to 43% of travellers) expect personal benefits from EU membership and 24%

expect membership to be personally detrimental (as compared to 17% of travellers).

As observed in previous questions, there is a link between the level of familiarity

with the EU and the expectation of personal gains or losses from EU

membership. 48% of respondents who are familiar with the EU expect EU membership

to be personally beneficial, 36% are neutral about the personal impact and 14% believe

EU membership will be detrimental to them. The corresponding figures for those who are

not familiar with the EU are 26% (unfamiliar/beneficial), 47% (unfamiliar/neutral) and

26% (unfamiliar/detrimental).


34

.


35

- Nearly half of the Croatians support the Euro -

While two-thirds of Croatians said

that EU membership would

improve the Croatian economy,

only about half the respondents

agreed that the euro would benefit

their economy (49%). There is

also a relatively high level of

uncertainty regarding attitudes

towards the euro compared with

the results for previous questions:

half of the respondents (52%) only

‘tend’ to agree or disagree and 7%

answered “don’t know”. The

percentage of respondents who

totally disagree that the euro would have a positive impact on Croatia’s economy (23%)

is larger than the proportion who totally agrees (18%).

Attitudes to the euro vary with gender, age and level of urbanisation. Female

respondents are less certain in their attitudes to the euro than male respondents. Women

also tend to be less convinced that the euro will have a positive effect on the Croatian

economy (46% vs. 51% of men).

Support for the euro rises with age. 39% of 15-24 year-olds agree that the euro

would have a positive effect on the Croatian economy, while 59% of the age group 55+

do so. Support for the euro in large towns is stronger than in small and mid-size towns

and rural villages (54%, 50% and 46% respectively).

Of those who believe that EU membership will improve the national economy, 60% also

said that the euro would have a beneficial impact on the Croatian economy, compared to

24% of those who do not think that EU membership will improve the Croatian economy.


36

The level of subjective information5 about the EU only plays a moderate role in attitudes

to the euro. Of the well-informed group, 50% agree and 44% disagree that the euro

would have a positive effect on the Croatian economy (6% “don’t know”). Among the

respondents who are not well-informed, 47% agree and 45% disagree that its impact

would be positive (8% “don’t know”).

As in previous questions, the degree of familiarity with the EU appears to influence

attitudes to the euro. A majority of 56% of respondents who consider themselves familiar

with the EU agreed that the euro would be good for the Croatian economy, as opposed to

only 37% of those unfamiliar with the EU.

The impact of familiarity combined with expectations of personal gains or losses from EU

membership reflects the trend identified in previous questions. Familiarity and positive

personal expectations correlate with the highest rate of support for the euro. Familiarity

with the EU is more likely than expectations of personal benefits to accompany higher

approval rates for the euro.


37





38

- More than 8 Croatians out of 10 would support Croatia’s participation in the

Schengen Agreement -

85% of Croatian respondents agree

with the statement “Croatia’s

participation in the Schengen

Agreement, which means opening

borders and freedom of movement,

would be a positive development.”

Altogether, the majority of

respondents (54%) totally agree,

31% tend to agree and only 13%

disagree.

Croatian women and men have

similar attitudes to Croatia’s

participation in the Schengen

Agreement. 82% of male respondents and a slightly higher percentage of 86% of female

respondents agree that opening Croatia’s borders and free movement within the

Schengen area is a good idea.

A large majority of respondents of all ages are in favour of joining Schengen, although

young people are less enthusiastic than older age groups. 76% of 15-24 year-olds

support Schengen. For 25-39 year-olds the rate of approval rises to 87%, for 40-54 year

olds to 83% and for the oldest group (55+) the rate of support is 87%.

An analysis of attitudes to Schengen by education level shows that the more years of

education respondents have completed, the more likely they are to support opening

Croatia’s borders and free movement within the Schengen area.

Croatian support for opening Croatia’s borders and free movement within the

Schengen area is high, whether or not respondents want to join the EU. Two-

thirds of the respondents who do not support Croatian membership would still welcome

participation in the Schengen Agreement. Almost all the respondents who support EU

membership (95%) are in favour of Croatia joining the Schengen Agreement.


39

Respondents may regard the prospect of free movement as one of the personal benefits

of EU membership. 95% of those expecting to personally gain from EU accession also

consider participation in the Schengen Agreement to be a positive development for

Croatia. However, a majority of respondents (57%) who believe that EU membership will

be detrimental for them nevertheless support joining Schengen.

Interestingly, whether or not respondents have travelled outside Croatia in the

last five years does not influence their opinion on Schengen. Those who have

travelled outside Croatia in the last five years and those who have not are equally likely

to support the Schengen Agreement (84%).

Overall, support for joining the Schengen area is very high, independently of whether

respondents are familiar with the EU (89% of EU-familiar respondents, 79% of

‘unfamiliar’ respondents).

2.5 Views about potential consequences of EU membership

- Croatians expect EU membership to have more positive than negative

consequences -

Respondents were asked to consider

a list of 11 potential consequences of

EU membership.

On the positive side, a majority of

respondents believe that, after

accession to the EU:

1. More tourists will come to

Croatia (78%)

2. There will be more business

investments in Croatia (78%)

3. Corruption will be reduced in

Croatia (67%)

4. The Croatian economy will

improve (66%)

5. The standard of living will rise

(56%)

6. Disparities between regions

will be reduced with the help

of the EU (54%)

7. Jobs will not be jeopardized

(52%)

8. Croatian identity, language

and culture will not be lost

(64%)


42

On the negative side, more than half of Croatians expect that because of EU

membership:

9. Prices will rise (81%)

10. The EU will have too much control over Croatia’s national policies (69%)

11. Agriculture and farmers will be affected negatively (53%)

Overall, a majority of respondents agreed with all the statements that suggested positive

consequences from EU membership (items 1 – 6 in the list). Five potential consequences

were worded in a negative way (e.g. item 7: “EU membership will jeopardize jobs”). Two

of these five potential negative consequences were rejected by a majority of

respondents.

Croatians see the positive consequences of EU membership mostly in terms of economic

benefits: more than three-quarters of respondents said that EU membership will bring

more business investment and tourists to Croatia and two-thirds think that it will help to

improve the economy. More than half of respondents think that jobs will not be lost

because of EU membership.

Generally, respondents who are familiar with the EU show a higher rate of agreement

with the positively-worded statements than those who are not familiar with the EU;

depending on the issue, the difference varies from 10 points to 24 points. For example,

63% of respondents who feel familiar with the EU expect the EU to help improve the

standard of living, compared to only 40% of those who are unfamiliar with the EU.

Respondents are more likely to agree with the positive statements if they are both

familiar with the EU and believe that EU membership will be personally beneficial to

them. Respondents, who are either familiar with the EU or believe that EU membership

will be personally beneficial to them but do not score high on both scales, expect fewer

positive consequences than those familiar and positive towards personal benefits. In line

with results from previous questions, respondents who are most enthusiastic about EU

membership generally combine familiarity with the EU with expectations of

personal benefits from EU membership.


43

*This variable is the combination of the variable on Familiarity with the EU and Personal gain of a future membership, i.e. for instance the sub-category “familiar and

beneficial” are the respondents who say that they were familiar with the EU and that Croatia’s membership of the EU would be beneficial etc. …


44

Slightly more than 8 out of 10 Croatians agree that because of EU membership prices will

increase (81%) and nearly 7 out of 10 agree that EU will have too much control over

national policies. A majority of 53% also believe that membership will have a negative

effect on Croatia’s agriculture and the independence of its farmers.

However, there is no majority support for the statement that EU membership will

jeopardize jobs (only 44% of respondents agreed). Nor did a majority of respondents

agree that EU membership would result in a loss of identity, language and culture for

Croatian citizens (only a third of respondents agreed).

Young respondents (15-24 years old) are more likely than older respondents to agree

that “EU membership will result in a loss of identity, language and culture for Croatian

citizens”, 43% of young people (15-24 years old) strongly agree or tend to agree with

the statement, while among the older age groups only 32% (on average) support the

statement.

Familiarity with the EU makes respondents more likely to reject the potential negative

consequences. 68% of those who are familiar with the EU do not expect a loss of

identity, language and culture, as opposed to 58% of respondents who are unfamiliar

with the EU. Similarly, 57% of ‘familiar’ and only 42% of ‘unfamiliar’ respondents

disagree that EU membership would jeopardize jobs.

The degree to which respondents feel well-informed about the EU is only a minor factor

in forming opinions about consequences of EU membership. This is a trend that was

already observed in the answers to previous questions, such as whether Croatians and

EU citizens share common values, attitudes to the euro or support for EU membership.

3. CROATIA’S RELATIONS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES

3.1 Countries visited in the past five years

- Almost two-thirds of Croatians regularly travel outside their country -

Almost two-thirds of respondents

(65%) said that they had travelled

outside Croatia several times in the

past five years. A further 12% of

respondents had left the country

once. In all, 77% of Croatian

respondents have travelled abroad at

least once. Only 23% of respondents

had not travelled outside Croatia in

the past five years.

A significantly higher proportion of

Croatian men than women had

travelled abroad (84% of male

respondents versus 71% of female respondents,). Inhabitants of large villages and rural

towns alike travel outside Croatia: 73% of both groups have left the country at least

once. In terms of age, 74% of 25-39 year olds and 70% of 40-54 year-olds have

travelled outside Croatia several times, as opposed to 60% of the youngest age group

(15-24 years) and 56% of respondents aged 55 years or more.

Self-employed and white-collar respondents (89% and 85%) are more likely to travel

outside Croatia than manual workers and non-active respondents (69% and 71%).


47




48

- Croatians primarily travel to their neighbouring countries -

Among those respondents who have

travelled outside Croatia, a large

majority of 76% have visited a

neighbouring country or countries.

The majority of 56% have travelled

to another country or countries in

Europe. Only a minority of 4% of

respondents who have travelled

outside Croatia had been to North

America.

- Financial reasons are most likely to prevent Croatians from travelling outside

their country -

Most of those who did not travel

outside Croatia in the last 5 years

(52%) were prevented from doing so

by financial reasons. Another 20%

did not travel abroad because of

personal or private reasons. 17% of

respondents were not interested in

travelling outside their home

country. Finally, 7% did not have the

time to travel abroad and 3% were

concerned about safety.


49

Respondents who are not interested in visiting other countries tend to be male (22%

male versus 14% female respondents). The youngest (aged 15-24 years) and the oldest

(55+ years) respondents are most likely to be reluctant to leave Croatia: 19% of both

these groups are not interested in travelling outside Croatia, as opposed to 12% of 25-39

year-olds and 16% of 40-54 year-olds.

Respondents who believe that EU membership will be personally detrimental are more

likely to be uninterested in travelling abroad than those who expect personal benefits

from EU membership: 24% of those who expect personal losses from EU membership do

not want to travel abroad, compared to 13% of those who expect personal gains.

Base: Respondents who have not travelled outside Croatia in the past five years (n=236)




50

3.2 EU countries respondents feel closest to

- More than a third of Croatians feel closest to Germany -

The EU country that the largest proportion of Croatian respondents felt closest to is

Germany (35%), followed by Slovenia, the country’s EU neighbour and former partner in

the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which dissolved in 1991. More Croatians felt

closest to Austria (26%) than to Hungary (18%), with which they also share a border.

16% of respondents felt close to Italy, 14% to the Czech Republic and 9% to Slovakia.

Hardly any Croatian respondents felt close to EU countries in the far west, such as the UK

or France (both 4%).


51

3.3 Support for other countries’ accession to the EU

- Croatia’s support for EU membership of other candidate countries and

potential candidates is low -

Slightly more than half of the respondents (51%) support the application of Bosnia and

Herzegovina to join the EU. None of the other potential applicants receive as much 50%

of the respondents’ support. Surprisingly, the country which Croatian respondents are

most likely to support to join the EU (Bosnia and Herzegovina), has not yet applied for

EU membership.

43% of respondents voiced their support for the accession of the former Yugoslav

Republic of Macedonia, followed by Iceland with 35%. Montenegro’s accession would be

supported by 29% of respondents.

About a quarter (24%) of respondents support the candidacies of Serbia and Turkey.

Kosovo* was supported by 21% of respondents. Albania gathered the least support

(16%).

7% of respondents support none of the candidates or potential candidates.

*Under UNSCR 1244/1999


52

Familiarity with the EU does not raise the level of support for other countries’ applications

for EU membership. 50% of those familiar with the EU, compared to 56% of “unfamiliar”

respondents, are in favour of Bosnia and Herzegovina joining the EU. 16% of those

familiar with the EU support the accession of Albania in comparison to 15% of those

unfamiliar with the EU.


53

4. CHANNELS USED TO STAY INFORMED ABOUT CURRENT AFFAIRS AND THE

EU

4.1 Preferred method of staying informed about current affairs and frequency

of use

- Croatians mostly prefer to get their information about current affairs from TV -

The highest proportion of Croatian respondents (50%) say that their preferred method of

staying informed about current affairs is watching television. 33% of respondents listed

the Internet as their preferred source of information on current affairs. Local and national

newspapers serve 8% of the respondents as a source of information, while only 5% listen

to the radio to remain informed.

Only 1% of respondents source their information about current affairs from international

newspapers, the same proportion that take their information from the church or from

friends and relatives.

More female than male respondents prefer television as their source of information (54%

and 46% respectively). More men than women consult the Internet for information (38%

and 28% respectively). The youngest respondents, aged 15 to 24, rely almost exclusively

on the Internet (58%) and television (31%). Older respondents (55+ years)

predominantly watch television (69%) to inform themselves about current affairs and

very few respondents above the age of 55 use the Internet (8%).


54

Three-quarters of the respondents who left school at the age of 15 or earlier source their

information from television as opposed to 44% of those who remained in education until

at least age 20.

43% of those who consider themselves well-informed about the EU take their information

about current affairs from television, 41% from the Internet and 8% from national or

local newspapers. Of those respondents who consider themselves badly-informed about

the EU, 58% keep informed on TV, 23% on the Internet and 8% read national or local

newspapers.


55

- A large majority of Croatians follow current affairs on a daily basis -

More than 8 out of 10 respondents

(83%) watch or listen to current

affairs information every day. 14% of

respondents follow current affairs at

least once a week and only 3% do

not do so on a regular basis.

The frequency with which

respondents keep up to date with

current affairs rises with age. Only

58% of 15-24 year-olds follow

current affairs on a daily basis while

93% of respondents aged 55 years

older do so.

There is no significant gender difference in the frequency with which respondents follow

current affairs.


56

4.2 Trust in information on current affairs from local, national and

international medias

- Croatians trust current affairs information from local media -

Almost two-thirds of respondents (65%)

either totally trust or tend to trust

information on current affairs in the local

media. However, the proportion of

respondents who only ‘tend to’ trust these

media is significantly higher (60%) than

the proportion which ‘totally trust’ this

information (5%). 9% do not trust

information about current affairs in the

local media at all, and 23% tend not to

trust local sources of information.

There are no significant differences by

gender, age, education or occupation for this question.

- Fewer Croatians trust information on current affairs from national media

sources than local media -

Even though the difference is small, fewer

respondents trust national than local media

sources when it comes to information on

current affairs. While 65% of respondents

say that they trust information on current

affairs in the local media, only 63% trust

national media. The difference between local

and national media is more obvious when we

consider the proportion of respondents who

do not trust local or national media. 32% do

not trust local media, whereas a slightly

higher portion of 36%) do not trust national

media.


57

- Croatians trust information on current affairs from international media more

than local and national sources -

When asked to what extent they

trust international media, 62% of

respondents say that they tend to

trust international media sources;

6% trust them “totally”. Only 26%

distrust information in the

international media, of whom 20%

“tend” to distrust and 6% “totally”

distrust this information.

More Croatians trust information on

current affairs in the international

media than in local and national

media. 68% of respondents totally

trust or tend to trust international media reporting on current affairs, compared to 65%

for local media and 63% for national media sources.

A socio-demographic analysis by gender, education, subjective urbanisation† or

occupation, reveals no significant differences.


58

4.3 Sources of information about the EU

- Most Croatians get their information about the EU from television -

Most Croatian respondents rely on television as a source of information about the EU.

68% said that they use television to find out information about the EU, compared to 47%

who use the Internet and 28% who read local/national newspapers. Another 18% of

respondents listen to the radio for information about the EU.

11% of respondents reported that they use online social networks to inform themselves

about the EU. 9% of respondents retrieve this information directly from the Croatian

government and a further 7% use information which comes directly from the EU, i.e.

brochures, websites and newsletters. 6% consult international newspapers for

information about the EU.

Again, as with sources of information on current affairs, male respondents seem more

computer-literate and are more likely to use the Internet and online social networks than

female respondents (53% vs. 42%). On the other hand, 71% of female respondents

listed television as a source of information about the EU, compared to 64% of men.

Overall, television is the most important channel for public information in Croatia, both

for current affairs in general and for information about the EU. The Internet offers an

effective way to reach young respondents and students, who rely on the Internet more

than on television for information about both current affairs and the EU.


59

CONCLUSIONS

The main objective of this survey was to measure Croatians’ perceptions, views, and

attitudes to their country’s relationship with the EU. Overall, based on the answers in this

survey, Croatians’ perceptions of their country’s relationship with the EU can be

described to be mostly positive and optimistic.

Croatians enjoy living in their country and are positive about their future. The prospect of

joining the EU in 2013 seems to contribute to their optimistic attitude to their country’s

future. The survey indicates that a solid majority of nearly 60% of Croatians believe

that their country’s future should lie in the EU. EU membership itself is perceived

favorably: according to a majority of respondents, the positive aspects of EU membership

clearly outweigh potential negative aspects such as increasing prices or excessive EU

control over national policies.

The more familiar Croatians are with the EU, the more they believe that the future of

their country should be in the EU.

Overall, younger Croatians are less optimistic than the older generations

regarding a number of aspects of EU membership as well as about their

country’s future. Support for the EU is significantly stronger among older respondents

than among the young. Similarly, young Croatians are also less familiar with the EU than

the older generations. Younger Croatians are less in favour of the introduction of the euro

and less enthusiastic about joining the Schengen Agreement than older age groups.

The country whose accession to the EU Croatian respondents are most likely to

support is Bosnia and Herzegovina, followed by the former Yugoslav Republic of

Macedonia and Montenegro.

Finally, Croatian support for their country’s participation in the Schengen

Agreement is stronger than for EU membership or the introduction of the euro.

Support for opening Croatia’s borders and for free movement within the Schengen area

remains high, whether or not respondents want to join the EU. Two-thirds of the

respondents who do not support Croatian EU membership would still welcome the

opportunity to participate in the Schengen Agreement (66%).

FLASH EUROBAROMETER 337 “Croatia and the European Union” TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Between the 28 of November and the 30 of November 2011, TNS Political & Social, a consortium created between TNS political & social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the survey FLASH EUROBAROMETER 337 about "Croatia and the European Union". This survey has been requested by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General for Enlargement. It is a general public survey co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication ("Research and Speechwriting" Unit). The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 337 covers the population aged 15 years and over. The survey covers the national population of citizens (in Croatia) as well as the population of citizens of all the European Union Member States that are residents in Croatia and have a sufficient command of the national language to answer the questionnaire. All interviews were carried using the TNS e-Call center (our centralized CATI system). Respondents were called both on fixed lines and mobile phones. The basic sample design applied in is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random following the "last birthday rule".

TNS have developed their own RDD sample generation capabilities based on using contact telephone numbers from responders to random probability or random location face to face surveys, such as Eurobarometer, as seed numbers. The approach works because the seed number identifies a working block of telephone numbers and reduces the volume of numbers generated that will be ineffective. The seed numbers are stratified by NUTS2 region and urbanisation to approximate a geographically representative sample. From each seed number the required sample of numbers are generated by randomly replacing the last two digits. The sample is then screened against business databases in order to exclude as many of these numbers as possible before going into field.

A comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. A national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. Gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Political & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits:

Observed percentages 10% or 90% 20% or 80% 30% or 70% 40% or 60% 50%

Confidence limits ± 1.9 points ± 2.5 points ± 2.7 points ± 3.0 points ± 3.1 points

Q1.7 Pour chacune des affirmations suivantes, pourriez-vous me dire si vous êtes tout à fait d’accord, plutôt d’accord, plutôt pas d’accord ou pas du tout d’accord avec celle-ci. La participation de la Croatie à l’accord de Schengen, qui implique l’ouverture des frontières et la libre circulation, serait un développement positif Q1.7 For each of the following statements, could you please tell me whether you totally agree, tend to agree, tend to disagree or totally disagree with it. Croatia’s participation in the Schengen Agreement, which means open borders and freedom of movement, would be a positive developmentQ1.7 Molim vas da mi za svaku od sljedećih izjava kažete slažete li se s njom u potpunosti, uglavnom slažete, uglavnom ne slažete ili uopće ne slažete.
