There will be continuing domestic and external pressure on the government to combat organised crime and corruption and to enforce the rule of law—these issues will take centre stage in EU accession negotiations. The Lisbon treaty now looks set to succeed, providing a boost to Croatian EU aspirations. 5926e5a5605e00e4bdb471628029f9e9Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/country_report_croatia_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The centre-right government led by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) faces serious challenges in 2010-11, not least in maintaining its direction after the surprise resignation of Ivo Sanader as prime minister in July.

The leader of the main coalition partner, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), announced his resignation on July 1 halfway through serving his second term as prime minister. What is more, Sanader gave no indication of the motivation behind his decision and despite claims from some critics that he was positioning himself to run for the presidency in 2010, he has vowed to end his political career. aad100e95351dadac00d42526525b0b8Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/country_report_croatia_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The centre-right government led by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) faces serious challenges in 2009-10, not least in maintaining its direction after the surprise resignation of Ivo Sanader as prime minister in July. In the wake of several gangland-style murders, there will be continuing domestic and external pressure on the government to combat organised crime and to enforce the rule of law.

However, while we only expect the recession to last through 2009, we caution that the recovery is likely to be more 'L' than 'V'-shaped. Indeed, with external credit conditions unlikely to return to the state seen prior to the international crisis anytime in the foreseeable future, and with the European consumer undergoing a lengthy period of deleveraging and saving, demand for Croatian exports will remain subdued for some time yet. 55fb144e5252c36b656065edc2601b82Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/croatia_defence_security_report_q3_2009.htmlCroatia's progress towards EU accession was dealt a significant blow following the decision by Slovenia to veto the opening and concluding of several negotiating chapters on December 19 2008. The EU called off talks with Croatia on April 23 2009 due to a border dispute with Slovenia over the Bay of Piran. Without a settlement between the two nations, Slovenia could potentially hold up Croatia's application indefinitely. e0ee657cec23dd629aeb5150d12b2a3dTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/country_report_croatia_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The government assumes that real GDP will fall by 2% in 2009. In its new budget, it assumes lower revenue and expenditure, although the budget deficit will be larger than previously targeted.

This much was acknowledged by Prime Minister Ivo Sanader in November 2008, when he said in parliament that some infrastructure projects might have to be delayed because of reduced budgetary resources. Indeed, with GDP growth in Croatia during 2009 likely to be close to half that seen in 2007, tax collection will suffer. 61416d4379ccb3203f0c98eb35b74985Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/country_report_croatia_march_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The government is aiming for a balanced budget in 2009, while keeping expenditure high enough to support the economy during the economic crisis. It is important for the government to put forward a realistic plan quickly. In the wake of several gangland-style murders, there will be continuing domestic and external pressure on the government to combat the criminal underworld and enforce the rule of law. 7eb7b50a86ac29c6cb6ad55de33cc645Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/croatia_defence_security_report_q1_2009.htmlCroatia is certainly closing in on EU membership, having opened 21 of the 35 pre-accession negotiating chapters and closed three of them. The government has indicated that it is hoping to close several more by the end of 2009 and to open the remaining chapters at the same time. Three main issues remain to be resolved: corruption, Croatia's loss-making shipbuilding sector, and the country's relations with Slovenia. da07e47fcc6b66af84ec04a508baa8c0Tue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/croatia_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlEconomy To Slip Into Recession In 2009 The deterioration in trade dynamics, unwinding of domestic demand, and contraction in external credit availability constricted growth dynamics during the third quarter.

However, the government will remain dependent on the support of smaller parties.

However, the government will remain dependent on the support of smaller parties. There are few significant policy differences between this government and its predecessor, but the assertive line taken by the Croatian Peasants' Party (HSS) on agriculture and territorial issues could hinder EU-related progress. 9a99a4c05e83aaf5b76c18398122b5a1Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Croatiahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/croatia/croatia_isa_january_2009_country_report.htmlThis report contains detailed forecasts and analysis for Croatia, including trade and investment analysis, economic forecasts, political risk assessments and demographic trend analysis.
