MINING IN ECONOMY OF REPUBLIC OF CROATIA

Željko Matiša

Sažetak

Croatia is not especially rich in mineral ore resources, and therefore it cannot be included into "mining countries". Nevertheless since exploitation of mineral resources is a primary activity in economy of any country, mining in Croatia is given a great significance.
In Croatia, research and exploitation of oil and gas is considered to be the most significant. Exploitation of mineral resources for production of metals is negligable, while esploitation of non-metals satisfies the majority of needs of building-material industry. Regarding the amount of mineral resources taken out of mines and the number of economic subjects, exploitation of technical building stone, building sand and gravel and pug comes first. Expoitation of mineral resources was almost cut in half during the war in Croatia, and only the exploitation of technical stone, gravel, sand and clay is gradually returning to the level reached in the pre-war 1990,
Despite the significance that mining has for economic development and the annual income that it produces, which amounts to 600 milion USD per year, it is not given due respect in Croatia. Leading subjects in that field in Croatia should elaborate a plan of development and enhance the role of mining in the overall economy of the state.
