Croatia's import from Slovenia is still twice higher than export,
and such meetings should deepen cooperation and increase Croatian
export to Slovenia, it was said at the meeting.
Last year, Croatia's export to Slovenia amounted to US$426 million.
Split-Dalmatia County's export accounted for US$19.5 million or
4.6 percent.
Croatia's import from Slovenia amounted to US$711.5 million.
Slovenia is interested in Croatia as a tourist destination. This
summer, about 877,000 Slovenes visited Croatia. They realised more
than 5.1 million over-night stays.
Slovene businessmen invested a total of US$360 million in Croatia's
economy by the end of 2000, which accounts for more than a half of
Slovenia's total foreign investments. Only last year, Slovenia
invested about US$40 million in Croatia.
Croatia's investments in Slovenia last year amounted to only US$2.5
million.
