As a part of project #INTEGRA-Integration of Third country nationals through urban partnership, Centre for Peace, nonviolence and human rights Osijek has published a comic book about similarities in differences in Croatian and Persian language that recognizes we are not that different.

Persian also known as Farsi is one of the Western Iranian languages within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. It is a pluricentric language primarily spoken in Iran, Afghanistan ,Tajikistan Uzbekistan and some other regions which historically were Persianate societies and considered part of Greater Iran. It is written right to left in the Persian alphabet, a modified variant of the Arabic script. Persian language is also a satem language.

Croatian language as a Slavic language also belongs to Indo-European language family and has developed from Old Church Slavonic, an ancient language used, as it`s name implies, in official Church writings of the period. Language arrived in the Balkans region with the migration of the Slavs in the 6th or 7th century. The language eventually evolved into two branches: East South Slavic and West South Slavic. Bulgarian and Macedonian derive from the East South Slavic group and Slovene, Serbian and Croatian are derived from the West South Slavic group. Later in Croatia's eventful history a series of occupying powers-Ottoman, Venetian, Hapsburg, Italian enriched the language with new German, Turkish and Italian words.
