Over the past ten months, the Croatian government has tried to pull
down the barriers between Europe and the world and Croatia, correct
some mistakes in relation to foreign investors, and prepare the
economy for privatisation and investments, he said.
In 2001 the government expects bigger business investments and
higher employment, he added, thanking all foreign businessmen who
he said had been patient enough with certain difficulties in
Croatia's management.
"We want to increase employment, accelerate economic progress, but
also be a factor of stability in the entire East Europe region. The
European Union has given us its confidence and we shall justify it,"
the deputy PM said, thanking the Italian government for the support
within the EU.
