Vlatka Bilas

Abstract

Today, many countries motivated by numerous benefits decide to develop mutual collaboration. Trade liberalization, free movement of labour and capital are just some of the advantages of forming integration. The aim of this paper is to analyze integration trends and place Croatia in the context of those trends. A comparative analysis of the convergence level of Croatia and other selected countries (Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey) towards EU has also been conducted using Deka Convergence European Indicator (DCEI). DCEI includes four types of convergence: monetary, fiscal, real and institutional.
