This is the fourth publication in a project monitoring Croatia's integration with the EU, which is financed by the Zagreb office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
In the book, 19 experts focus on the challenges of participation in the accession process and relations with European countries regardless of Croatia's status in the EU.
Key topics are Croatia's position in Europe, problems in the economy, the political elite, citizens' views, and the potential of state institutions to adapt to the requirements of modern and open societies.
The launching of the publication was also attended by German Ambassador Hans Jochen Peters and the head of the Zagreb office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation, Mirko Hempel.
The book was published in Croatian and English and is available at www.ijf.hr.
