Dynamics of foreign trade relations between Republic of Croatia and CEFTA states

U ovom diplomskom radu je analizirana integracija CEFTA te se daje uvid u poziciju Hrvatske na tržištu CEFTA-e. U prvom dijelu se daje uvid o tome kako je zapravo došlo do ideje o osnivanju CEFTA-e te kako je ova integracija napredovala i razvijala se. Kroz grafičke prikaze se nastoji prikazati razvoj vanjske trgovine zemalja CEFTA-e. Posljednji dio se bavi Hrvatskom kao važnom članicom ove integracije. i analizirana je vanjsko-trgovinska razmjena poljoprivredno-prehrambenih proizvoda između Hrvatske i zemalja članica CEFTA-e. Dakle, Hrvatska dok je bila članica, sa CEFTA-om je do 2012. ostvarivala suficit u međusobnoj razmjeni roba, što znači da je tada trgovina bila u stalnom porastu. Hrvatska je u 2010. godini ostvarila povećan uvoz u EU dok je izvoz smanjen u odnosu na 2009. godinu. Nakon ulaska u Europsku uniju više nemamo slobodnu trgovinu sa CEFTA-om i vanjskotrgovinska razmjena je smanjena. Najviše su se izvozile žitarice, mlijeko i mliječni proizvodi, razni prehrambeni proizvodi te proizvodi kemijske industrije. Zatim proizvodi koji su se uvozili su mineralna goriva i maziva, hrana i životinje te strojeve i prijevozna sredstva. Ovim radom je zapravo prikazana vanjskotrgovinska razmjena Republike Hrvatske sa zemljama CEFTA-e koje su bile najvažniji trgovinski partner do 2013. godine, odnosno do ulaska u Europsku Uniju. Nakon toga, trgovina se logično prebacila u onom pravcu gdje su povoljniji uvjeti, a to je sada Europska Unija.In this graduation thesis was analyzed the CEFTA integration and gives an insight into Croatia's position on the CEFTA market. The first part gives an insight into how the idea of establishing CEFTA has actually come and how it has progressed while the second part is based on the new CEFTA contract. Through graphic presentations, some of the important development factors of member states are being presented.The last part deals with Croatia as an important member of this integration. and analyzed the foreign trade of agricultural and food products between Croatia and CEFTA member countries. Therefore,Croatia was a member of CEFTA until 2012 to have realized a surplus in commodity exchange, which means that trade was on a steady growth. In 2010, Croatia increased its imports into the EU while exports declined relative to 2009. After joining the European Union, we no longer have free trade with CEFTA and foreign trade has been reduced. The most exported were cereals, milk and dairy products, various food products and chemical industry products. Then the products that were imported were mineral fuels and lubricants, food and animals, and machines and means of transportThis paper presents the foreign trade of the Republic of Croatia with the countries of CEFTA, which were the most important trade partner by 2013, ie the joining into the European Union. Thereafter, trade was logically shifted in the direction of the more favorable conditions, which is now the European Union
