- Approach discussions about the 1990s history with respect, due to ethnic conflicts and warfare. Do not refer to Croatia as a 'Balkan country'; locals prefer Mediterranean or Central European associations. When complimenting Croatian culture, avoid using the term 'Serbo-Croatian' for the language. When discussing local politics, adopting a listening and inquisitive role is advised to maintain cultural sensitivity. Be mindful that Roman Catholicism plays a prominent role in Croatian life.
