Today, people often decide to leave their countries and change the place of residence. The reasons for that can vary from wars, economic distability, dissatisfaction, better life conditions, seeking for happiness elsewhere and so on. Like most european states, Croatia has also been hit with a migration wave. While Croatia was only transit country, not everybody just went through her, some decided to stay. We can't classify every stranger that walks into another country the same as other because not everyone is a migrant, like media like to easily point out. The reason of abandoning your country and the final goal of your travel is also very important. With that in mind, we can identify which group of people it is, more easily. The subject of this work is people in motion, more specifically the ones that come to Croatia. Those people are leaving their countries for a different reasons and those will be explained in this work. Also, this work will provide guidance on how to distinguish those people so that it doesn't come to any confusion or assumption. The goal for this work is to define more clearly, each of group of people in motion, from migrants, refugees, exiles and asylum seekers. Research question is in which extent are young people of Croatia familiar with the terms of people in motion and can they distinguish them? Answer to that question will be sought in a poll. Hypothesis is that young people in Croatia don't attach to much attention and don't think about that question too much. They also put every stranger in the same category, the migrant one, because that term is nowadays very popular. The first part of this work is based on theoretical part in which will be shown some of the specific examples and situations that led to a crisis in Croatia and also the problems in implementing the policies towards strangers. Second part of the work is going to be a poll and its results. The respondents to this poll will be students from different universities and younger people up to 35 years old. That will get us insight of younger generation in Croatia, thinking on this subject.
