network of more than 300 Euro Info centres across Europe.

programme, while the HGK will finance the rest.
With the Euro Info Centre Zagreb (EICC), Croatian companies will be
able to receive all information about the latest changes in the EU's
economy and Croatian laws within three days. Vidosevic said that
this would help their adjustment to and business on the European
market.

of adjustment to what Croatia wants, which is full membership in the
EU.

middle-scale companies connected with the EU in all areas, so that
their business could be facilitated and more efficient on the
unified EU market. This will be achieved through seminars and
presentations, news releases, brochures and guides, as well as
information via the Internet.
