There is in principle a commitment to reform, there are many instructions, support programmes, new laws are passed, those that already exist are changed and adjusted, and the formal side is often more than satisfied. 
Načelno opredjeljenje za reforme postoji, donesene su brojne upute, programi potpore i podrške, donose se novi zakoni, mijenjaju i prilagođuju već postojeći, formalna je strana često i više nego zadovoljena.
But unfortunately, a poor public administration, weak coordination among the institutions, poor statistics and monitoring of information, an optimism that is frequently unfounded, sometimes even an absence of any real will for reform, an ineffective judiciary, weak supervision of the political decision-makers: these are some of the basic weaknesses and shortcomings that are holding back the reform processes. 
Nažalost, loša javna uprava, slaba koordinacija među institucijama, slaba statistika i praćenje podataka, često neosnovani optimizam, pokatkad i nedostatak stvarne želje za reformom, neefikasno sudstvo, slab nadzor donositelja političkih odluka - neke su od osnovnih slabosti i nedostataka koji koče procese reforme.
In welfare policy, for example, many different programmes have been launched, but the role of government in the redistribution is uncoordinated and there are no proper statistics; programmes and their results are not monitored. 
U socijalnoj politici, na primjer, pokrenuto je mnogo programa, ali uloga države u preraspodjeli je nekoordinirana, nema adekvatnih statistika, ne prate se programi ni njihovi rezultati.
The courts are not effective and there seems to be no real desire for a thoroughgoing reform in this area. 
Sudstvo nije efikasno i kao da i ne postoji stvarna želja za njegovom temeljitom reformom.
There are also serious gaps in the legal framework necessary for the development of civil society - although quite a lot has been done in this area - and an environment conducive to development is not being created. 
Nedostaje i pravni okvir potreban za razvoj civilnog društva - iako je upravo na tom području dosta učinjeno - i ne stvara se okruženje povoljno za razvoj.
As for the protection of ethnic minorities, formally, everything is fine, and the law provides for many good approaches, such as the dual franchise, councils and representatives of ethnic minorities in units of local self-government, councils for minorities at government level, and yet there are many ambiguities that need resolving, that is, the letter of the law needs to be harmonised with real needs and capacities. 
Kad je riječ o zaštiti nacionalnih manjina, formalno je sve u redu, zakon predviđa brojna dobra rješenja kao dvostruko pravo glasa, vijeća i predstavnike nacionalnih manjina u jedinicama lokalne samouprave, savjetu za nacionalne manjine na razini države, ali brojne su nejasnoće koje još treba riješiti, odnosno uskladiti normativnu regulaciju sa stvarnim potrebama i mogućnostima.
If the social values in Croatia are compared with those in the member states, the accession countries, and countries completely outside the EU, we can see that we are equally as well prepared as the accession countries. 
Ako se društvene vrijednosti u Hrvatskoj uspoređuju s onima u zemljama članicama, zemljama pristupnicama i zemljama izvan EU-a, možemo reći da smo jednako spremni kao i zemlje pristupnice.
Some trends are positive; and yet the role of the state, that is, of politics, is still too great in the economy; education and the judiciary are still ineffective. 
Neka su kretanja pozitivna, no i dalje je prevelika uloga države, odnosno politike u gospodarstvu, neefikasno je sudstvo i obrazovanje.
For this reason the mark given to democracy and satisfaction with the political authorities in Croatia is closer to the mean of countries outside the EU than to that of the accession countries. 
Zbog toga je i ocjena demokracije i zadovoljstvo političkom vlašću u Hrvatskoj bliže prosjeku zemalja izvan EU-a nego prosjeku zemalja pristupnica.
Each chapter of this book contains recommendations that relate to specific areas. 
Svako od poglavlja ove knjige završava preporukama koje se odnose na specifična područja.
Here we shall endeavour to sum up those recommendations that are common to most of the authors and that are most often repeated. 
Ovdje ćemo pokušati sažeti preporuke koje su zajedničke većini autora i koje se najčešće ponavljaju.
Take most of the steps as soon as possible, without waiting for Croatia to become a member of the EU. 
Većinu koraka treba poduzeti što prije, ne čekajući da Hrvatska postane članica EU-a.
This requires considerable fiscal adjustments in the next few years. 
To zahtijeva značajne fiskalne prilagodbe u idućih nekoliko godina.
A decision on adjustments will not be easy to make because there are great requirements for public expenditure, and the deficits can at the moment be relatively easily financed. 
Odluka o prilagodbama neće biti laka jer postoje velike potrebe za javnim izdacima, a deficiti se trenutačno mogu relativno lako financirati.
In particular it is necessary to make a realistic evaluation of the structural bottom line of the budget and the effect of the budgetary stabilisers, develop an active fiscal strategy capable of rapidly and flexibly enlarging or diminishing the budgetary deficit in accordance with the movements of the business cycle, and draw up long-term projections of fiscal adjustment. 
Posebice treba realno ocijeniti strukturni saldo proračuna i učinak proračunskih stabilizatora, razviti aktivnu fiskalnu strategiju koja će brzo i fleksibilno povećavati i smanjivati proračunski deficit u skladu s kretanjem gospodarskog ciklusa te izraditi dugoročne projekcije fiskalne prilagodbe.
In the case of the public administration, for example, institutional changes are needed that cannot be carried out overnight and that cannot wait, because the whole process of joining will depend above all on the quality of the public administration. 
U javnoj upravi, na primjer, riječ je o institucionalnim promjenama koje se ne mogu provesti preko noći i ne smije se čekati, jer prije svega će upravo o kvaliteti javne uprave ovisiti cjelokupni postupak pridruživanja.
Become a part of international programmes that already exist. 
Uključivati se u već postojeće međunarodne programe.
In many areas, such as environmental and consumer protection or education, there are international programmes in which Croatia as state, or some of its regions, cities, institutions, firms, NGOs, can be involved already, and advantage should be taken of this. 
Na brojnim područjima, na primjer u zaštiti potrošača, zaštiti okoliša ili obrazovanju, postoje međunarodni programi u koje se Hrvatska kao država, ali i pojedine njezine regije, gradovi, institucije, poduzeća, nevladine udruge već sada mogu uključivati, i to bi trebalo iskoristiti.
This would improve the situation in Croatia, contacts can be made and experience gained, and the conditions created for better collaboration after the eventual joining of the EU. 
Time bi se unaprijedilo stanje u Hrvatskoj, stekli kontakti i iskustva te stvorili uvjeti za bolju suradnju nakon eventualnog priključenja EU.
Carry out institutional and not merely formal legal adjustments. 
Provoditi institucionalne, a ne samo normativne prilagodbe.
It will not be enough for changes in the judiciary just to change the laws; rather, more profound personnel and social changes are required, even a change in the mind-set of judges, attorneys and public notaries. 
Za promjene u pravosuđu neće biti dovoljno mijenjati zakone, već su nužne dublje kadrovske i društvene promjene, pa čak i promjena strukture svijesti sudaca, odvjetnika i javnih bilježnika.
Along with changes in the letter of the law, linked objectives have to be achieved according to a plan: a quality and stable legislation, a competent and efficacious judiciary, respect for the results of proceedings, and an effective enforcement of judicial decisions and other decisions founded on law. 
Uz mijenjanje zakonskih tekstova treba planski ostvarivati povezane ciljeve - kvalitetno i stabilno zakonodavstvo, kompetentno i efikasno pravosuđe, poštovanje rezultata postupka i efikasnu provedbu sudskih i drugih na zakonu zasnovanih odluka.
Reforms have to be comprehensive. 
Reforme moraju biti sveobuhvatne.
In all areas it is necessary to define the objectives, strategies, order, deadlines, organisation and responsibilities. 
Na svim područjima treba definirati ciljeve, strategije, redoslijede, rokove, ustroj i odgovornosti.
In the reform of the public administration, for example, this means a clear demarcation of the authorities of the bodies of the government administration from those of institutions with public authority; the determination of the organisation of all institutions; the reduction of the number of ministries, and the improvement in the coordination among them; establishment of performance criteria, and the foundation of budgets upon performance. 
Za reformu javne uprave, na primjer, to znaci jasno razgraničenje ovlasti tijela državne uprave od institucija s javnim ovlastima, utvrđivanje ustroja svih institucija, smanjenje broja ministarstva, odnosno poboljšanje njihove koordinacije, utvrđivanje mjerila učinkovitosti i temeljenje proračuna na učinkovitosti.
In environmental protection, for example, the competent ministry has to adopt a single strategic document for the overall procedure of harmonising regulations concerning the environment. 
U zaštiti okoliša, primjerice, nadležno ministarstvo mora usvojiti jedinstveni strateški dokument za cjelokupni postupak usklađivanja propisa o okolišu.
The public administration is of crucial importance. 
Javna uprava je presudna.
Croatia should devote particular attention to reinforcement of the civil service so as to make sure that the appropriate ministries can properly carry out the many legislative reforms they have committed themselves to (European Commission, 2003). 
Hrvatska treba posebnu pozornost pridati jačanju javne uprave kako bi se osiguralo da odgovarajuća ministarstva mogu ispravno provoditi brojne zakonodavne reforme na koje se Hrvatska obvezala (European Commission, 2003).
Of particular importance here will be coordination, team building, motivation, accountability and internal and external control, in each and every segment of the public administration. 
Pritom će posebno važna biti koordinacija, kadrovska ekipiranost, motiviranost, odgovornost te unutarnja i vanjska kontrola, i to u svim segmentima javne uprave.
Strengthening the rule of law and order. 
Jačanjepravne države.
In order to restore the trust of citizens, it is essential to have an effective executive branch, greater professionalism, depoliticisation, more transparent work by the ministries and the Government, and a precise definition of accountability. 
Kako bi se obnovilo povjerenje građana, nužna je učinkovitija izvršna vlast, veća profesionalnost, depolitizacija, transparentniji rad ministarstava i Vlade te točno utvrđivanje odgovornosti.
In order to increase trust in institutions in Croatia (and so indirectly in the EU as well) the fight against corruption is essential, to slow down the cynicism and opportunism met particularly among the young. 
Za povećanje povjerenja u institucije u Hrvatskoj (posredno i u EU), potrebno se boriti protiv korupcije kako bi se usporio cinizam i oportunizam, osobito među mlađim naraštajima.
In some segments, as for example in the protection of ethnic minorities, the harmonisation of the law is required not only with international and European laws, but also with the Croatian Constitution. 
U nekim segmentima, npr. u zaštiti nacionalnih manjina potrebno je provesti usklađivanje zakona ne samo s međunarodnim i europskim zakonima, nego i sa samim hrvatskim Ustavom.
In addition, the passage of a comprehensive anti-discrimination law to prevent discrimination against individuals on any basis, and not just the ethnic, is required. 
Također je nužno donijeti jedinstveni antidiskriminacijski zakon kojim bi se spriječila diskriminacija pojedinaca na bilo kojoj osnovi, a ne samo na nacionalnoj.
Independence and transparency. 
Neovisnost i transparentnost.
To enable the better functioning of institutions and the enlargement of public trust in them, it is necessary not only to found but also to enhance the independence and transparency of independent bodies in areas like energy, environmental and consumer protection and government aid. 
Kako bi se omogućilo bolje funkcioniranje institucija, ali i povećalo povjerenje javnosti u njih, nužno je ne samo osnivanje nego i jačanje neovisnosti i transparentnosti neovisnih tijela u područjima poput energetike, zaštite okoliša, zaštite potrošača i državnih potpora.
Statistics and research. 
Statistika i istraživanja.
For the better coordination and monitoring of welfare policy programmes, for example, improved statistics are essential, which holds too for further investigations into social and welfare problems. 
Za bolju koordinaciju i praćenje programa socijalne politike, na primjer, potrebna je bolja statistika te daljnja istraživanja socijalnih problema.
Education. 
Obrazovanje.
In order to reduce the educational gap with the EU average it is essential to improve the quality of education in all areas and at all levels. 
Kako bi se smanjilo zaostajanje za obrazovnim prosjekom EU-a, potrebno je poboljšati kvalitetu obrazovanja na svim područjima i na svim razinama.
In higher education, for example, it is necessary to resolve the current problems of unlawfulness in legal, property and academic matters, the problem of recognition of degrees, to collaborate with foreign countries, to introduce curricula taught in English, new interdisciplinary curricula, and set up doctoral courses. 
U visokom školstvu npr. treba rješavati nelegalnosti u pravnim, imovinskim i akademskim pitanjima, problem nostrifikacije diploma, surađivati s inozemstvom, uvoditi programe na engleskom jeziku, nove interdisciplinarne programe i osnivati doktorske studije.
Public information. 
Informiranje javnosti.
It is crucial to strengthen the openness, independence, critical ability and responsibility of the media in order to improve the quality of both media and government, to achieve a better level of information about the EU itself and about the concrete problems, as well as the capacities of the society in for example welfare policy, environmental and consumer protection, and the protection of minorities. 
Potrebno je jačati otvorenost, neovisnost, kritičnost i odgovornost medija kako bi se poboljšala kvaliteta i medija i vlasti, postigla bolja informiranost o samom EU, te o konkretnim problemima, ali i mogućnostima društva npr. u socijalnoj politici, zaštiti okoliša, zaštiti potrošača ili zaštiti manjina.
At the end we may conclude that Croatia's accession to the EU is moving in the right direction, but that there are still causes for concern, and that it would be wrong to be duped by exaggerated optimism. 
Na kraju možemo zaključiti da pridruživanje Hrvatske EU ide u dobrom smjeru, ali da ipak postoje i razlozi za zabrinutost te da se ne treba zavaravati pretjeranim optimizmom.
Croatia is still not ready, does not meet many of the conditions, but with effort and exertion could well be ready even before the EU wishes to accept the country. 
Hrvatska još nije spremna, ne zadovoljava brojne uvjete, ali uz trud, mogla bi biti spremna možda i prije nego što će je EU željeti primiti.
In any event, it would be good to meet most of the EU requirements even if there were no EU. 
U svakom slučaju, većinu zahtjeva EU-a bilo bi dobro zadovoljiti i kad EU-a ne bi ni bilo.
There is in Croatia an amazingly low level of interest in the real effects of membership. 
U Hrvatskoj je zanimanje za stvarne učinke učlanjenja začuđujuće slabo.
And yet one should approach the costs and benefits very seriously. 
A upravo bi troškovima i koristima trebalo prići vrlo ozbiljno.
If not because of the desire to live in a country that is as clean and beautiful as it may be, then at least because of the great costs that await us in this area, we should look for example at the costs of adjustment in environmental protection. 
Ako bi Hrvatska ušla u EU u 2007. godini, troškovi za prilagodbe u zaštiti okoliša u toj godini bi mogli iznositi oko 300 milijuna kuna, odnosno 0,1% predviđenog BDP-a 2007. godine.
™ It is especially important to stress here that important resources - depending upon our own capacities - can be used already, even before EU accession. 
No za to je potrebno znanje i koordinacija državnih tijela - na svim razinama - kao i participacija gospodarstva, nevladinih udruga i građana.
It is interesting that there is a gap in Croatia between the real situation and the perception. 
Zanimljivo je da u Hrvatskoj često postoji nesrazmjer između stvarnog stanja i percepcije.
For example, in opinion research concerning the most important problems in Croatia, an ineffective civil service was in thirteenth place out of twenty. 
Na primjer, u istraživanju javnog mnijenja 0 najvažnijim problemima u Hrvatskoj neadekvatna je javna uprava tek na trinaestome mjestu od dvadeset mogućih.
And yet, all authors of this book, and the European Commission itself, put forward precisely the weaknesses of the public administration. 
A svi autori ove knjige, pa uostalom i Europska komisija, ističu upravo slabosti javne uprave.
Perhaps the most essential thing will be depoliticisation, because as long as recruitment to the civil service is not done according to merit, but often on grounds of political acceptability, it is impossible to expect any essential improvement in the state of affairs. 
Pritom će možda najvažnija biti depolitizacija, jer dok god se javna uprava ne bira isključivo po stručnosti nego često i po političkoj podobnosti, ne možemo se nadati bitnom poboljšanju.
It should be stressed in particular that the procedure for joining the EU is a lengthy and painful one, and that it should be initiated as soon as possible, especially since Croatia is planning to become a member in a period of time shorter than all the candidates to date. 
Posebno valja naglasiti da je postupak priključenja EU dugotrajan i bolan i da se treba pokrenuti što prije, pogotovo zato što Hrvatska planira postati članicom u roku kraćemu od svih dosadašnjih kandidatkinja.
Decisive moves in the reform of the public administration should be taken as soon as possible, because the changes take a long time, improvements cannot be waited for, and the whole procedure of the current negotiations with the EU actually depends on a high-quality public administration. 
Stoga će brže trebati povlačiti odlučne poteze u reformi javne uprave, jer promjene dugo traju, poboljšanja ne mogu čekati, a cijeli postupak već i sadašnjih pregovora s EU-om ovisi o kvaliteti javne uprave.
One should bear in mind that the accession of neighbouring countries will have considerable consequences for Croatia. 
Treba imati na umu da će značajne posljedice na Hrvatsku imati i priključenje susjednih država EU.
When Slovenia for example has to apply EU regulations to do with Krško NPS, the same regulations will have to be implemented in Croatia. 
Kako će Slovenija, primjerice, morati primjenjivati propise EU-a u vezi s nuklearkom Krško, isti će se propisi morati provoditi i u Hrvatskoj.
Hence in questions to do with preparations for emergencies, nuclear safety and supply security Croatia will have to accept EU regulations even before the time provided for in the SAA. 
Time će posredno u pitanjima pripreme za krizna stanja, nuklearne sigurnosti i sigurnosti opskrbe Hrvatska morati prihvatiti propise EU-a i prije nego što je to predviđeno SSP-om.
We may, then, in brief conclude that Croatia is working hard to implement the SAA and adjust to the demands of the EU, but a better application of rules and a faster establishment of new, and the better functioning of existing, institutions will be required. 
Možemo ukratko zaključiti da se Hrvatska trudi provoditi SSP i usklađivanje sa zahtjevima EU-a, ali da će biti potrebna bolja primjena propisa, brže uspostavljanje novih institucija i bolje funkcioniranje postojećih.
Thus the problems in the public administration, and particularly in the judiciary, as well as the establishment and strengthening of institutions that are essential for the deregulation and liberalisation of the market are of crucial importance. 
Ključni su, dakle, problemi u javnoj upravi, posebice u sudstvu, te uspostava i jačanje institucija nužnih za deregulaciju i liberalizaciju tržišta.
CHALLENGES OF MACROECONOMIC STABILITY: A SPEED LIMIT ON CROATIA'S ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION? 
IZAZOVI MAKROEKONOMSKE STABILNOSTI: KOJOM BRZINOM U EUROPSKU UNIJU?
However, there are reasons to be concerned about the expansion of private sector credit, as recently it has been financed largely by foreign borrowing. 
No postoje razlozi za zabrinutost zbog brzog rasta kredita privatnom sektoru jer se taj rast odnedavno u velikoj mjeri financira vanjskim zaduženjem.
Large capital inflows are likely to become the main challenges for macroeconomic policy in the run-up to Croatia's EU accession. 
Napokon, u radu se tvrdi da će glavni izazov makroekonomskoj politici tijekom približavanja EU biti kako “ukrotiti” veliki priljev kapitala.
Policy makers will in particular have to address the so-called “Tosovsky dilemma”, i.e., set interest rates at an appropriate level: setting them too high would invite excessive short-term inflows, while setting them too low would lead to excessive investment and thus inflation. 
Nosioci ekonomske politike morat će se posebno pozabaviti tzv. dilemom Tošovskoga, tj. morat će odrediti domaće kamatne stope tako da ne budu ni previsoke (što bi dovelo do prevelikog priljeva kratkoročnog kapitala) ni preniske (što bi dovelo do prevelikog rasta investicija, kredita i inflacije).

Many Croatian citizens presently hope and expect that Croatia will join the EU in 2007. 
Mnogi hrvatski građani nadaju se da će Hrvatska postati članicom EU-a 2007. godine.
Since the government submitted its EU membership application in February 2003, the ability to meet the conditions for EU accession has become the subject of almost daily assessments in virtually every sphere of economic, social and political life in the country. 
Od veljače 2003. godine, kada je Vlada predala zahtjev za članstvom u EU, sposobnost da se ispune uvjeti EU-a postala je predmetom gotovo svakodnevnog preispitivanja u svim sferama ekonomskog, socijalnog i političkog života u zemlji.
Macroeconomic stability is usually not seen as a major issue in this context. 
U tom smislu obično se smatra da makroekonomska stabilnost nije poseban problem.
One reason is that good macroeconomic performance is not per se a condition for the accession: the key economic criteria are the existence of a functioning market economy and the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union. 
Jedan od razloga takvom stavu jest da makroekonomska stabilnost nije sama po sebi uvjet pristupanja EU: ključni je ekonomski kriterij funkcioniranje tržišnog gospodarstva i sposobnost da se ono nosi s konkurentskim pritiscima i tržišnim snagama u Uniji.
As the experience of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain around the time they joined the EU has shown, these criteria can be satisfied even without a distinguished record of macroeconomic performance. 
Kako pokazuje iskustvo Grčke, Irske, Portugala i Španjolske u vrijeme kada su one pristupale EU, ti se kriteriji mogu zadovoljiti bez posebno dojmljivih makroekonomskih rezultata.
