He announced that the measures would be discussed by the government

The document is a projection of Croatia's economic growth for 2001 -
2015, in which period the per capita GDP should double. This means
that the average GDP annual growth rate would be around five
percent.
The authors of the study estimated that from 2001 to 2004 the GDP
could rise by more than four percent annually. Between 2005 and
2010, the GDP could grow at a rate of around six percent, and from
2011 to 2015 by 4.8 percent.
