- "Croatian Tales of Long Ago"
"Croatian Tales" is by far one of the best collections of flash-animated interactive stories to date. I personally feel that the collection of fairy tales enriches the lives of everyone while at the same time promotes a multicultural experience. Helena Bulaja has done an amazing job of collecting a group of talented and unique animators to bring to life fairy tales from the Croatian literary work of Ivana Brlic Mazuranic. I eagerly await Helena's next project.

Academia Cravatica is a non-profit institution founded on 26th March 1997 and it studies, preserves and improves the cravat as a part of Croatian and world heritage.

Founding of the Academy: The first half of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of the Croatian National Revival, whose ideals challenged the existing imperial absolutism and feudal order of the Austrian Empire. Its leaders soon conceived the idea of founding "a learned society whose airn would be to promote culture in the national language". This was first suggested by Tomaš Mikloušic in the book Izbor dugovanj vsakoverstneh, in 1821 and then taken up and elaborated by Ljudevit Gaj, leader of the National Revival, in his weekly magazine Danica.
