Bridging Continents, Reconnecting Families

We help American citizens of Croatian descent navigate the complex process of acquiring Croatian citizenship with clarity, compassion, and professionalism.
Meet Dr. Iva Bahunek
International Advisor | Government Strategist | Cultural Advocate
Born in Croatia and based in the United States, Dr. Iva Bahunek brings over two decades of global leadership experience in tourism, international relations, and executive consulting. As the former CEO of the Croatian National Tourism Board in Los Angeles, she served as a bridge between Croatia and the U.S., helping thousands rediscover their roots, their country, and their stories.
Throughout her career, she has worked with international embassies, U.S.-based diaspora communities and global media to promote cultural connection, strategic growth, and national identity. Her role in the successful promotion of Croatia to U.S. travelers earned her recognition at the highest levels of both countries.
Today, she brings that same cross-cultural insight to clients seeking Croatian citizenship — not as a bureaucratic transaction, but as a personal journey home.
