The 50 minute show, called "Croatia Between Europe and the Balkans" by Ennio Remondino, presented Croatia's Adriatic coastline, footage from the Second World War and the early 1990s war of independence, and focused on the economy, tourism, politics, and Croatia's bid to join the European Union.
The show also featured interviews with President Stjepan Mesic, the Italian and Serb minorities' representatives in parliament, Furio Radin and Milorad Pupovac respectively, and others.
President Mesic spoke about Croatia's efforts to join the EU, stressing that Croatia should not be hostage to one man, the fugitive general Ante Gotovina, who is wanted by the Hague war crimes tribunal.
Mesic said that one could not accuse peoples but individuals of crimes, underlining that Croatia is cooperating with the Hague tribunal and cannot be responsible because one person has not appeared before the UN court.
The president also spoke of the adjustment of Croatian legislation with European standards.
Radin said the Italian minority is protected in Croatia.
Pupovac spoke of the return of Croatian Serb refugees, saying that about 60,000 have returned to date and that the majority of those intending to return will do so soon.
The show said that Croatia bases its economy on tourism and that, also through cooperation with Italian banks and the Italian industry, Croatia has updated its industrial production. This development will gain new impetus once the country joins the EU, said the show, which also praised Croatia's tourist advantages, notably the beauty of its towns, islands and coastline.
