Sažetak

This paper explores the competitiveness of Croatian export to EU market. At the very beginning of the paper, by analyzing the results of regression model the basic differences among the value of Croatian exports in EU countries are to be explained. The differences in the size of Croatian export among EU countries could be well explained by the geographical distance between Croatia and individual EU countries, as well as, by the GDP of the EU countries. Croatia has positive trade balance with EU at low value added products. Although, the total export competitiveness to EU market remains unchanged during the observed period, the competitiveness of the economic sectors was really changeable. Compared to other economic sectors agricultural sector showed the most favorable position on the EU markets. Relatively good position in the competitiveness of the transport equipment could be explained by the significant value in the export of the shipbuilding industry. While the competitiveness of the chemicals was stagnating, the competitiveness of the textiles and clothing were falling.
