Economic Interpolation of Croatia into the European Integrational Policy

The author analyses various aspects of the co-operation between Croatia and the European Union, showing that the linkage with this group, from the functional integration to the institutional admittance, is the prerequisite for economic restructuring. The author points to the incompetence of the exporting sector as a constant in Croatian economy and the main obstacle for more profitable exports. This is primarily due to the low quality and a meagre competitive edge. The conclusion is that Croatia is yet to come up with the economic and social interpretation of its position within the European integrational policy, compatible with its new position as an independent and sovereign state
