A few months ago we witnessed a serious debate concerning the construction of such a factory in the eastern part of Germany. If we take into account expert potential of Croatia and those in other countries, I am convinced that Croatia should be a candidate for such investments. In addition to economic prosperity, such an investment would surely guarantee political stability in the future, because such manufacture goes far beyond mere local interest, and breaks through its limitations. Sometimes it is an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage. The advantage to such operations is that everything is concentrate at one site, and the major disadvantage is that you do not have a suitable partner.
Civil servants have a different attitude towards job security, which can be bad for business.
The economic activities which are of interest to Siemens are concentrated in a few public companies, and such a system will not be subject to any changes in the near future. To a certain extent Croatia plans to place telecommunications on the market. Not at all. Such a privatisation is quite usual in western countries. I would only recommend not to begin the privatisation of telecommunications until Croatia is absolutely sure that it will pay off.
