Gindele said that representatives of Zagreb's office of the German
Chamber visited local companies in which Germany had invested, such
as "Meggle-Mia" and "Belisce-Krupp". He said that the successful
performance of the companies could make this part of Croatia even
more interesting to German investors.
Further development of economic relations will depend on the
reduction of bureaucratic procedures for the opening of branch
offices of German companies in Croatia, Gindele said and added that
the task of this institution, which has branch offices in 80
countries, was to assist the establishment of business contacts.
The deputy mayor of the eastern Croatian city of Osijek, Ivan
Beslic, said that along with the agricultural, textile and food-
processing industry, Osijek was also interested in cooperation in
river cargo transport and the arrival of new partners in Osijek's
free trade zone.
