Q: Do you think young people are priority in Croatia?
A: I am far away from that opinion. Young people are not priority in Croatia due to specific practices and their consequences in the country. On 5th of November we had a protest against commercializing educational system. One large population of young people - student population, is not satisfied with quality of studying and living in general. On the other hand there are young people living in remote, poor and excluded parts of the country or the areas under special state protection. Additionally, there are young people like those in Zagreb with access to certain resources, but sometimes those are limited. There is a problem on information access in general. What is more, we witness this large issue on having access to information and resources for active social participation but often we find different barriers coming from the system.
