About Croatia
About Croatia cultural influences that resulted in distinctive architecture and a rich stew of traditions. It is well known for its beautiful Adriatic coast, however, traditional atmosphere as well as the beauty of the landscape can be observed in the continental Eastern region of our country, named Slavonia and Baranja. Osijek is the capital of Slavonia and Baranja. A convenient geographical location on the rivers of Drava and Danube makes Osijek a political, cultural, educational and industrial centre. The Republic of Croatia is an independent country in South Eastern Europe with its capital in Zagreb. Having a population of over 4.5 million, Croatia lies at the Eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea with its hinterland stretching to the slopes of the Alps and deep into the Pannonian lowlands, to the banks of the Danube and Drava Rivers. It consists of three geographic regions: the Mediterranean, the Mountainous and the Pannonian region. In the west of the country Croatia borders on the Italian Adriatic, in the northwest and north on Slovenia, in the north and northeast on Hungary. In the east it borders on the Province of Vojvodina (within Serbia), in the south on Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in the far south on Montenegro. Though a small country, Croatia is defined by diverse

The City Historical Overview The history of Osijek goes back to the Neolithic times and begins with the first known inhabitants who belonged to the Illyrian tribes. Later on, in 331, the Roman emperor Hadrian raised the old settlement of Mursa to a colony with special privileges.
After that, Mursa had a turbulent history, with a lot of decisive battles that took place here, deciding the destiny of the whole region. After migrating, the Croats made a settlement near the ruins of Mursa, giving it its present name, Osijek. The first

precise mention of this name can be found in the Papal list from 1332, with a precise mention of Osijek parish. Life was thriving here in the Middle Ages, but only traces of that life can be found today, because the Turks destroyed everything they found and built a town to suit their style. The Turks built several important buildings and mosques here, including Suleiman the Magnificent’s famous 8 km long wooden bridge, considered to be one of the wonders of the world. After liberation from the Turks in 1687, Osijek was once again completely devastated. Between 1712 and 1721, the new Austrian authorities built a new fortress, today known as Tvrđa. It is a unique urban and military complex that lies in the heart of the town. Its central Holy Trinity Square is bound on the north by the Building of the Military Command, today the seat of the Rector. On the west there is the Main Guard Building, and on the east the Magistrate Building, presently the Museum of Slavonia. In the middle, there is the Plague Monument, erected in 1729.

Osijek was heavily damaged during the Homeland War, 1991-1995. The peaceful reintegration of Eastern Slavonia and Baranja was successfully completed, opening the way to the revival of our city and the whole region.
9
The three parts of the town, the Lower Town, Tvrđa, and the Upper Town were united in 1786, and Osijek became the administrative centre of the Slavonia region. In 1779, a new wooden bridge was built across the Drava River, connecting Osijek with Hungary and the rest of Central Europe. Upper Town became the new business centre of the town.
Osijek Today Osijek is the administrative and economic centre of Eastern Croatia, situated on the right bank of the Drava River, 25 km upstream from its mouth into the Danube. Osijek has also convenient geographical location at the crossroads to Hungary, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus being a city of multicultural and multiethnic community.

The City of Osijek
We will take you for a little walk through the city streets, squares and parks... Let's start from the center, Ante StarÄ?ević Square, located in the Upper Town, which is the administrative and business centre of Osijek. Most buildings date from the late 19th and early 20th century. The Concathedral consecrated to St. Peter and Paul is drawing your attention with its impressive size. It was built at the end of the 19th century in the Neo-Gothic style. Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer, after whom our University is named, supported its construction.

Vukovar
Besides its rich gastronomic offer and great Đakovo wines, in the town of Đakovo there are many cultural and monumental sights, the most important of which is the St. Peter's Cathedral. It is also known as the Strossmayer Cathedral, by the name of the Đakovo bishop and Croatian benefactor Josip Juraj Strossmayer, after whom the University of Osijek has also been named.

Đakovo
Vukovar is situated about 30 kilometers to the east of Osijek, where the Vuka river enters the Danube. The city is on the borders of Slavonia and Sirmium regions. Unfortunately, it is widely known by its war sufferings and destructions. Today, after years of war, Vukovar is revived and rebuilt, and it is offering to visitors a great blend of Danube scenery and historical sites. Worth mentioning is the archaeological site of Vučedol, located along the banks of the Danube, some 5 kilometres downstream from Vukovar. This is one of the most significant sites of the Eneolithic period. This Eneolithic culture was named after its place of origin – the Vučedol culture.
Josip Juraj Strossmayer A Short History of Higher Education in Osijek The history of higher education in this area began almost three centuries ago, i.e. in 1707, when the first institution of higher education was founded in Osijek. It was the Higher Theological School, which was opened in the academic year 1707/1708 as Studium Philosophicum Essekini, and included a three-year course of studies in philosophy. The significance of the first colleges in Osijek lies in their huge contribution to Croatian language and literature, the spreading of liberal-arts education, and the study of languages and classical literature. The recent history of higher education in the area began in 1959 when the Zagreb Faculty of Economics,
14

in accordance with the University of Zagreb, founded the Centre for part-time studies in Osijek as a branch of the Zagreb Faculty of Economics. The initiative for the founding of the University of Osijek dates back to 1975. On March 26 1975, the Croatian Parliament (Sabor) passed the Decision granting consent for the establishing of the University

In this brief outline we need to point out several important years in the history of the founding of the various faculties of the University of Osijek: in 1975 the Faculty of Law, in 1976 the Faculty of Food Technology, in 1977 the Faculty of Education, in 1979 the School of Engineering in Slavonski Brod and Medical Studies in Osijek, which developed into the Faculty of Medicine in 1998, in 1982 the Faculty of Civil Engineering, in 1990 the Electrical Engineering Studies developed into the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and that same year the University Senate passed the Decision to include the name of Josip Juraj Strossmayer in the name of
the university. Joseph George Strossmayer (Croatian: Josip Juraj) was a bishop and theologian, politician and statesman. He was one of the most famous Croats in the world, known as a promoter of Croatian culture and the people's tribune, whose entire life was devoted to advancing welfare and progress of the Croatian people. He was born on February 4, 1815 in Osijek, died on April 8, 1905 in Ä?akovo. Strossmayer was a true predecessor of modern ecumenical quests for unification and open dialogue, and he strove for unity and cooperation despite differences, casting away centuries of misunderstanding and conflict. His personality, ideas, broad viewpoints, global reasoning and his overall legacy have been recognized and followed even today in the mission of the University of Osijek.

Night life in the city of Osijek is very dynamic. There is a lot to choose from. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the days to go out. However, you can always go to the cinema, the theatre, a gallery or just walk along the river. If you want to have a cup of coffee, we suggest some of the most popular cafes, like Campus café (located near your student dorm), Trica or Šetač. Also, there are a lot of popular cafes situated along the river or on the Radić Street near the Faculties of Law and Economics. Popular meeting points are the Old Bridge Pub, Irish pub St. Patrick, General von Beckers, Matrix, Exit, Merlon all situated in the Old Town of Osijek, called Tvrđa.
