One of the greatest problems that Croatia faces today is the negative net migration. And according to new statistics from the Central Intelligence Agency Croatia is among the top seven European countries with the highest migration rate.

Compared to even its neighbours Croatia has the unenvious honour of having the highest negative migration rate. Bosnia and Herzegovina with -0.4, Serbia and Macedonia have -0.5 and Croatia is at -1.7. Of course one of the reasons that Croatia has a higher negative trend is the fact that it is a member of the European Union and therefore citizens find it easier to legally find work and move to other members.

Slovenia has a positive migration rate at 0.4 and Hungary at 1.3 along with Austria. However at the other end of the scale Moldova with -9.4 and Lativa with -6.1 have even larger troubles than Croatia.
