CHALLENGES OF REGIONAL ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION – THE CASE OF CROATIA
Vidoje Vujić
Željko Tepšić
Sažetak
Territory, people, time and economic
activities represent the fundamental dimensions of
all economic phenomena. The territory in which
economic activities take place has always been
and still remains the subject of economic studies
within the framework of national states or a union
of states, but also within the framework of states
divided into determined territories. With the use
of competitiveness indicators these territories are
ranked and possible weaknesses and presumptions
for a balanced growth of all regions within a single
state are identified.
The paper envisages a statistical division of
Croatian territory into three regions. It analyses
statistical indicators describing factors and
competitiveness areas of Croatian (counties)
regions. It synthesizes the economic effects of
the use of EU funds and processes that are taking
place in Croatia during its preparation to enter the
European Union as a fully fledged member and it
also summarizes the opportunities of participating
in different pre-accession programmes and other
forms of financial and technical assistance.
