ZAGREB, June 10 (Hina) - Croatia's President Stjepan Mesic has stressed the necessity of drafting a strategy for economic progress with exact time terms for certain activities and accomplishment of objectives, as this is for him a
precondition for the success of Croatia's attempts to catch up with the developed economies in the world. "Croatia is in a depression, economic problems are such that they thwart the progress of the society and there are no discernible solutions, and that's why the question poses itself how we can get out of the depression," Mesic said addressing economists who gathered in his office on Saturday to discuss possibilities of Croatia's economic recovery.

ZAGREB, June 10 (Hina) - Croatia's President Stjepan Mesic has
stressed the necessity of drafting a strategy for economic progress
with exact time terms for certain activities and accomplishment of
objectives, as this is for him a precondition for the success of
Croatia's attempts to catch up with the developed economies in the
world.
"Croatia is in a depression, economic problems are such that they
thwart the progress of the society and there are no discernible
solutions, and that's why the question poses itself how we can get
out of the depression," Mesic said addressing economists who
gathered in his office on Saturday to discuss possibilities of
Croatia's economic recovery.
Asserting that until recently in the country there was a wrong model
enabling 200 families to become rich but plunging the country in the
current bad situation, Mesic said the transformation of the social
ownership must have followed the traces how the capital was created
and must have subsequently led to a modern type of management. In
Croatia, he added, the functions of the owner and manager merged,
resulting in a catastrophe.
We must cease earmarking considerable means to the so-called
Herzeg-Bosnia, as owing to wrong assessment, a wrong policy was
conducted impoverishing Croatia and bringing the country into
isolation, he added.
Croatia's incumbent President said it was not world that isolated
Croatia. Croatia was isolated so that some could loot "their own
people if the people is isolated, and this was deliberately
planned," he added.
Addressing the gathered economic experts Mesic told them he was
expecting they would find answers to question about the recovery of
their own nation.
The purpose of this meeting, which drew a score of economic
scholars, is to raise major economic and social issues and help
exchange opinions on the economic situation in the country, said
Mesic's advisor in economics, Stjepan Zdunic.
