Since 1965, when the United States ended its national-origin immigration quotas and Yugoslavia relaxed its closed-border policy, tens of thousands of people from the republics of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro have moved to North America. The most prosperous republic of the former Yugoslavia, Slovenia had a relatively easy time making the transition to independence. Compared with Slovenia, Croatia has experienced greater economic, political, and social difficulties in the years since gaining independence. |
