In all areas it is necessary to draw up concrete plans of implementation with deadlines and clear divisions of authority and responsibility. 
Na svim područjima treba izraditi konkretne planove provedbe s rokovima i jasnim podjelama ovlasti i zaduženja.
Whenever possible, it is worthwhile getting involved in exchange programmes with member states, and to make intelligent use of regional initiatives. 
Kad god je moguće, valja se uključivati u programe razmjene sa zemljama članicama, ali je pametno iskorištavati i regionalne inicijative.
Although the government should undertake a great many measures, it is particularly important for the non-governmental sector not to expect everything from the government, but to work on its own, to cooperate, to get trained, to democratise itself, get rid of its monopoly, contribute to the development, adoption and dissemination of knowledge about integration and to make sure the government accepts it as a partner. 
Iako Vlada treba poduzimati brojne mjere, posebno je bitno da nevladin sektor ne očekuje sve od Vlade nego da djeluje sam, da surađuje, obrazuje se, demokratizira, demonopolizira, pridonosi razvoju, usvajanju i širenju znanja o integracijskim procesima i da se nametne Vladi kao partner.
We hope that this book will be a contribution to this and we shall go on working on the topics already started; in future projects we shall focus on additional topics such as the public administration, the courts, education, regional cooperation, political dialogue, human rights, democratisation and other topics that will arise in the course of time. 
Nadamo se da će i ova knjiga biti doprinos tome te ćemo i dalje raditi na već započetim temama, a u idućim istraživanjima usredotočit ćemo se na dodatne teme kao što su javna uprava, sudstvo, obrazovanje, regionalna suradnja, politički dijalog, ljudska prava, demokratizacija, ali i druge teme koje će se s vremenom nametati.
In short, our ideal ought to be to live in a country that meets the EU criteria, and if this is the case, being or not being a member will be of much less importance. 
Ukratko, ideal bi nam trebao biti živjeti u zemlji koja bi zadovoljavala kriterije EU, a da li bi bila članica ili ne, u tom bi slučaju bilo manje značajno.

MACROECONOMIC ASPECTS OF CROATIA'S ACCESSION TO THE EUROPEAN UNION 
MAKROEKONOMSKI ASPEKTI PRIDRUŽIVANJA HRVATSKE EUROPSKOJ UNIJI
The one lesson that emerges is the need to keep trying. 
Najvažnija pouka iz povijesti ekonomskog razvoja jest da nikada ne treba odustajati.
No miracles. 
Ne postoje čudotvorna rješenja.
No perfection. 
Nema savršenstva.
No millennium. 
Nema zlatnog doba.
No apocalypse. 
Nema apokalipse.
We must cultivate a sceptical faith, avoid dogma, listen and watch well, try to clarify and define ends, the better to choose means. 
Moramo neprekidno preispitivati stavove, izbjegavati dogme, dobro slušati i promatrati, objašnjavati i definirati ciljeve kako bismo bolje odabrali sredstva.

Croatia does not lag significantly behind the other CEE countries in fulfilling the criteria for EU and EMU membership. 
Hrvatska ne zaostaje bitno za drugim srednjoeuropskim zemljama u ispunjavanju kriterija za članstvo u EU i EMU.
It has certain advantages with respect to the criteria of macroeconomic stability (with the exception of the budget deficit), investment efficiency, and potential growth. 
Određenu prednost ima kad je riječ o kriterijima makroekonomske stabilnosti (osim proračunskog deficita), efikasnosti investiranja i potencijalnog rasta.
However, delays in the implementation of some structural reforms, in particular the development of a securities market, are estimated at about four years. 
Međutim, zaostajanje u nekim strukturnim reformama, osobito u razvoju tržišta vrijednosnica, iznosi otprilike četiri godine.
Croatian economy, Central European economies, enlargement of the EU, transition, convergence to the EMU, economic growth, inflation, external stability, budget deficit, public debt 
hrvatsko gospodarstvo, srednjoeuropska gospodarstva, proširenje EU, tranzicija, konvergencija prema EMU, ekonomski rast, inflacija, vanjska stabilnost, proračunski deficit, javni dug.
This paper analyses three topics related to Croatia's accession to the EU and EMU: the macroeconomic conditions for joining the EU and EMU, the preparedness of the Croatian economy to meet these conditions, and the main challenges that are awaiting economic policy on the road to the EU and EMU. 
Autor analizira tri teme vezane za pridruživanje Hrvatske EU i EMU: makroekonomske uvjete za pristup EU i EMU, spremnost hrvatskoga gospodarstva da te uvjete ispuni i glavne izazove koji očekuju ekonomsku politiku na putu prema EU i EMU.
These criteria relate primarily to the development of the fundamental political, economic, administrative and judicial institutions with the aim of creating as quickly as possible the conditions for the adjustment of the countries of CEE to the institutional framework of the EU. 
Ti uvjeti, tzv. kopenhaški kriteriji, odnose se ponajprije na razvoj temeljnih političkih, ekonomskih, administrativnih i pravosudnih institucija, a cilj im je stvoriti uvjete za što brže prilagođavanje zemalja središnje i istočne Europe institucionalnom okviru EU.
After they become EU members, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe will have the obligation to join the EMU and accept the euro as the common currency. 
Nakon što postanu članice EU, zemlje središnje i istočne Europe imat će obvezu ispuniti i uvjete za pristup EMU i prihvatiti euro kao zajedničku valutu.
To be admitted to EMU, countries will have to demonstrate that they are capable of maintaining macroeconomic stability for at least two years. 
No tu obvezu trebaju ispuniti tek nakon što tijekom najmanje dvije godine dokažu da mogu održavati makroekonomsku stabilnost.
To pass this test, countries will have to fulfil the Maastricht criteria on the rate of inflation, interest rate, exchange rate, budget deficit and public debt. 
Kao dokaz će poslužiti ispunjavanje tzv. maastrichtskih kriterija nominalne konvergencije - približavanje stopa inflacije, kamata, tečaja, proračunskog deficita i javnog duga razinama utvrđenima u Ugovoru iz Maastrichta.
It carefully analyses comparative economic indicators for Croatia and five other Central European countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia), as well as some less developed current EU members (Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain). 
Spremnost hrvatskoga gospodarstva za priključenje europskim ekonomskim integracijama ocjenjuje se u trećem poglavlju pažljivom analizom usporednih ekonomskih pokazatelja Hrvatske, srednjoeuropskih zemalja (Češke, Mađarske, Poljske, Slovačke i Slovenije) i manje razvijenih sadašnjih članica (Grčke, Irske, Portugala i Španjolske).
The main conclusion of these comparisons is that Croatia does not lag behind other Central European countries and even has certain advantages with respect to the main macroeconomic criteria (apart from the budget deficit), investment efficiency and potential growth. 
Opći je zaključak da Hrvatska ne zaostaje za drugim srednjoeuropskim zemljama ili čak ima određenu prednost prema glavnim makroekonomskim kriterijima (osim proračunskog deficita), efikasnosti investiranja i potencijalnog rasta.
However, the delay in the implementation of some important microeconomic reforms, such as the development of non-bank financial markets and competition policy, is estimated at almost four years. 
Međutim, zaostajanje na nekim važnim mikroekonomskim segmentima - poput tržišta vrijednosnica i politike tržišnog natjecanja - procjenjuje se na gotovo četiri godine sustavnih reformskih napora.
Chapter Four addresses the issues of the sustainability and stability of the process of real and nominal convergence. 
Cetvrto poglavlje obrađuje pitanje održivosti i stabilnosti procesa realne i nominalne konvergencije.
Although current indicators of macroeconomic stability for Croatia and other Central European countries are mostly satisfactory, the experience of some members of EMU shows that the final phase of convergence can be the most difficult. 
Iako su pokazatelji makroekonomske stabilnosti u Hrvatskoj i ostalim srednjoeuropskim zemljama za sada uglavnom zadovoljavajući, iskustvo članica EMU pokazalo je da posljednja etapa konvergencije može biti ispunjena neugodnim iznenađenjima.
The fifth chapter concludes the discussion and provides some recommendations for economic policy. 
Zaključna razmatranja i neke preporuke za ekonomsku politiku izneseni su u petom poglavlju.
CONDITIONS FOR JOINING THE EU 
UVJETI ZA PRISTUP EU
This chapter briefly considers the basic economic and institutional framework that the EU has elaborated for future members. 
U ovom poglavlju ukratko se razmatraju osnovne ekonomske i institucionalne odrednice koje je EU zadala budućim članicama.
The economically relevant criteria for the accession of Croatia to the EU can be divided into two groups: conditions that derive from the Stability and Association Agreement (2001), which the EU had expressly devised for the countries of SEE; and the Copenhagen criteria, which apply to all applicants from CEE and are also included in the Stability and Association Agreement. 
Ekonomski relevantni kriteriji pristupa Hrvatske EU mogu se podijeliti u dvije skupine: uvjeti koji proizlaze iz SSP-a (2001) što ga je EU razradila posebno za zemlje jugoistočne Europe i kopenhaški kriteriji, koji vrijede za sve zemlje kandidatkinje iz središnje i istočne Europe, a uključeni su i u SSP.
Criteria from the Maastricht Treaty on EMU have to be met by all EU members before they can adopt the euro as their common currency. 
Kriteriji iz Maastrichtskog sporazuma o EMU moraju ispuniti sve članice EU prije prihvaćanja eura kao zajedničke valute.
The framework set in these three groups of criteria forms, in a way, a goal that the Croatian economy and, in particular, the public administration should aim for in the macroeconomic sphere in order to join the EU and EMU as soon as possible. 
Okvir zadan u tim trima skupinama kriterija na određeni način čini cilj kojemu bi hrvatsko gospodarstvo i osobito javna uprava trebale težiti u gospodarskoj i makroekonomskoj sferi da bi se Hrvatska što prije priključila EU i EMU.
In spite of frequent interpretations, most of these conditions have not been phrased extremely rigidly, but leave Croatia and other applicant countries a certain flexibility to adapt, in agreement with the European Commission, some of the conditions to the particular circumstances. 
Nasuprot učestalim interpretacijama, većina tih uvjeta nije postavljena odveć kruto, već Hrvatskoj i drugim zemljama kandidatkinjama ostavlja određenu fleksibilnost da uz dogovor s Europskom komisijom pojedine uvjete prilagode specifičnim okolnostima.
The Stabilisation and Association Agreement 
Sporazum o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju
The SAA between Croatia and the EU was signed on 29 November 2001 and by summer 2002 it had been ratified by Austria, Denmark and Ireland. 
SSP između Hrvatske i EU parafiran je 29. studenog 2001. i do ljeta 2002. ratificirale su ga Austrija, Danska i Irska.
The Agreement governs cooperation and the framework for the gradual convergence of Croatia to European structures. 
Sporazumom se uređuje suradnja i okvir za postupno približavanje Hrvatske europskim strukturama.
The SAA contains provisions on cooperation and mutual obligations in the following areas: political dialogue, regional cooperation, free movement of goods, movement of workers, establishment of businesses, the supply of services, current payments and movements of capital, harmonisation and implementation of legislation and the rules of market competition, cooperation in the area ofjustice and internal affairs, the policy of cooperation and financial cooperation. 
Odredbe Sporazuma sadrže dogovore o suradnji i međusobnim obvezama u sljedećim područjima: političkom dijalogu, regionalnoj suradnji, slobodi kretanja roba, kretanju radnika, poslovnom nastanu, pružanju usluga, tekućim plaćanjima i kretanju kapitala, usklađivanju i provedbi zakonodavstva i pravila tržišnoga natjecanja, suradnji na području pravosuđa i unutarnjih poslova, politici suradnje i financijskoj suradnji.
Thus in the trade part of the Agreement a transitional period of three or six years in which Croatia will liberalise its market for industrial and agricultural products from the EU was agreed on. 
Tako je u trgovinskom dijelu Sporazuma dogovoren prijelazni rok od tri odnosno šest godina u kojemu će Hrvatska liberalizirati svoje tržište za industrijske i poljoprivredne proizvode iz EU.
That is, as early as November 2000, the EU had decided, with certain exceptions, to liberalise its market for Croatian products. 
Naime, EU je već u studenome 2000. godine odlučila, uz određene iznimke, jednostrano liberalizirati svoje tržište za hrvatske proizvode.
In the regional cooperation provisions, it is anticipated that there will be a network of bilateral treaties with countries that have signed the SAA, other countries covered by the stabilisation and association process and with EU accession applicants. 
U odredbama o regionalnoj suradnji predviđa se sklapanje mreže dvostranih ugovora sa zemljama potpisnicama Sporazuma, ostalim zemljama obuhvaćenima procesom stabilizacije i pridruživanja te zemljama kandidatkinjama za pristup EU.
It is clearly stated that the goals of the regional provisions are the establishment of political dialogue, the establishment of an area of free trade in the region in line with WTO provisions, mutual concessions concerning the movement of workers, establishment, supply of services, current payments and movement of capital and other policies related to movement of persons, as well as cooperation in justice and home affairs. 
Jasno se ističe da su ciljevi regionalnih odredbi uspostava političkog dijaloga, uspostava područja slobodne trgovine u regiji u skladu s odredbama WTO-a, uzajamne koncesije glede kretanja radnika, prava poslovnoga nastana, pružanja usluga, tekućih plaćanja i kretanja kapitala te drugih politika koje se odnose na kretanje osoba, kao i suradnja u pravosuđu, unutarnjim poslovima i drugim područjima.
The creation of any kind of new state or other structures in the region is not envisaged in the Agreement, nor is it mentioned. 
Stvaranje bilo kakvih novih državnih ili drugih struktura u regiji nije predviđeno niti se uopće spominje u Sporazumu.
In the political preamble and in the appropriate parts of the Agreement it is clearly stated that Croatian accession to the EU will be based on the individual merits of Croatia. 
U političkoj preambuli te u odgovarajućim dijelovima Sporazuma utvrđen je jasan individualni karakter približavanja Hrvatske EU.
In particular, the readiness of Croatia to move from the status of potential candidate to that of official candidate for EU membership will be based on the individual capacity of Croatia to make the legal, economic and political adjustments required under the SAA and its readiness to contribute to regional cooperation and stability in SEE. 
Kao temelj za prelazak iz statusa potencijalnog kandidata u status punopravnog kandidata za članstvo u EU i za daljnje pregovore o punopravnom članstvu poslužit će individualna sposobnost Hrvatske da ispunjava pravne, gospodarske i političke prilagodbe te njezina spremnost da pridonosi regionalnoj suradnji i stabilnosti u jugoistočnoj Europi.
Croatia's accession process differs from the accession of the current applicant countries - the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Baltic countries and Bulgaria and Romania. 
Proces približavanja Hrvatske EU razlikuje se od procesa približavanja Uniji sadašnjih zemalja kandidatkinja za članstvo u EU Češke, Mađarske, Poljske, Slovačke, Slovenije, baltičkih zemalja te Bugarske i Rumunjske.
During the nineties, these countries initially obtained the status of associated countries after the EU entered into the so-called Europe Agreements with them. 
Te su zemlje tijekom devedesetih godina najprije stekle status pridruženih zemalja tako što su s EU sklopile tzv. Europske sporazume.
By carrying out these agreements, the associated countries, after a few years, acquired the status of candidates for membership in the Union. 
Provođenjem tih sporazuma, pridružene su zemlje nakon nekoliko godina stekle status kandidata za članstvo u Uniji.
In June 1999 the EU adopted the Process of Stabilisation and Association for the Republic of Croatia, BH, Albania, Macedonia and FR Yugoslavia) (European Commission, 2002a). 
EU je usvojila Proces stabilizacije i pridruživanja za RH, Bosnu i Hercegovinu, Albaniju, Makedoniju i SR Jugoslaviju (European Commission, 2002a).
The fundamental instrument for the implementation of the Process is the SAA. 
Osnovni instrument provođenja Procesa je SSP.
This treaty constitutes a new generation of agreements concerning associated membership in the EU. 
Taj međudržavni ugovor čini novu generaciju sporazuma o pridruženom članstvu u EU.
The main difference between the SAA and the Europe Agreements is in the contents of the so-called evolutionary clause, and in the provisions about regional cooperation (see Box 1).iii While the Europe Agreements specifically stated the integration of the countries of CEE into the EU as their basic goal, the SAA assigns Croatia the status of potential applicant for EU membership, on condition that it not only meets the Copenhagen criteria but also lives up to the obligations concerning regional cooperation. 
Glavne su razlike između SSP-a i Europskih sporazuma u sadržaju tzv. evolutivne klauzule, te u odredbama o regionalnoj suradnji (v. Okvir 1).iii Dok Europski sporazumi kao osnovni cilj izričito navode integraciju zemalja središnje i istočne Europe u EU, SSP Hrvatskoj potvrđuje status "potencijalnog" kandidata za članstvo u EU, uz uvjet da osim kopenhaških kriterija ispuni i obveze o regionalnoj suradnji.
The rationale for these provisions is to encourage the countries in SEE to behave towards each other and work with each other in a manner comparable to the relationships that now exists between EU members (European Commission, 2002a). 
Smisao tih odredbi jest potaknuti zemlje u jugoistočnoj Europi da se međusobno ponašaju i surađuju na isti način kako to čine sadašnje članice EU (European Commission, 2002a).
Joining the European Union 
Osnovni uvjeti za proširenje EU utvrđeni su već čl.
• stability of institutions that guarantee democracy, the rule of law, human rights and the respect for and protection of minorities, 
• stabilnost institucija koje jamce demokraciju, vladavinu prava, ljudska prava, te poštovanje i zaštitu manjina
• the existence of a functioning market economy as well as the capacity to cope with competitive pressure and market forces within the Union, 
• normalno funkcioniranje tržišnoga gospodarstva i sposobnost poduzeća da izdrže konkurentski pritisak i nose se s tržišnim snagama unutar Unije
• the ability to take on the obligations of membership, including adherence to the aims of political, economic and monetary union. 
• sposobnost preuzimanja obveza koje proizlaze iz članstva, uključujući provedbu ciljeva političke, ekonomske i monetarne unije.
At the Madrid European Council in 1995, a fourth group of membership criteria was added: 
Krajem 1995. godine na zasjedanju Vijeća Europe u Madridu tim je uvjetima dodana i četvrta skupina kriterija za članstvo u EU:
• the adjustment of administrative and judicial structures to EU standards in order to ensure the effective implementation of the legislative framework taken over from the EU in the context of the first three items. 
• prilagođavanje administrativnih i pravosudnih struktura normama EU kako bi se zakonodavni okvir preuzet iz Europske unije u sklopu prve tri točke mogao djelotvorno primijenjivati.
The legal patrimony of the EU that applicant countries bind themselves to take over and apply is known by the name of the acquis communautaire. 
Pravna stečevina EU koju se zemlje kandidati obvezuju preuzeti i primjenjivati poznata je pod nazivom acquis communautaire.
The acquis is divided into 31 chapters: 
Acquis je podijeljen u 31 poglavlje
Probably the most important macroeconomic criteria for joining the EU are central bank independence and the prohibition on central banks financing of national budget deficits. 
Vjerojatno najvažniji makroekonomski kriteriji za pristup EU jesu neovisnost središnje banke i zabrana financiranja deficita državnog proračuna od središnje banke.
The European Central Bank assesses regularly the fulfilment of these conditions. 
Ispunjavanje tih uvjeta provjerava Europska centralna banka (ECB).
During 2002, the ECB several times gave public warnings to the governments of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland that some of the proposed laws were encroaching on the independence of the central banks and hence jeopardised the chances of these countries to successfully conclude their accession negotiations. 
Tijekom 2002. godine ECB je više puta javno upozorio vlade Češke, Mađarske i Poljske da pojedini zakonski prijedlozi narušavaju neovisnost njihovih središnjih banaka i time ozbiljno ugrožavaju izglede tih zemalja da uspješno završe pregovore o priključenju EU.
The actual accession negotiations deal primarily with conditions under which the applicant countries will accept, apply and administratively and legally implement different chapters of the acquis. 
Pregovori o članstvu u EU vode se ponajprije o uvjetima pod kojima će zemlje kandidatkinje prihvatiti, primijenjivati te administrativno i zakonski provoditi pojedina poglavlja acquisa.
Experience to date has shown that there is enough flexibility in these negotiations for individual legislative approaches to be adapted to the specific conditions. 
Dosadašnje iskustvo pokazalo je da u tim pregovorima postoji dovoljno fleksibilnosti da se pojedina zakonodavna rješenja prilagode specifičnim uvjetima.
Poland, for example, negotiated a transitional period of 12 years for the complete liberalisation of the market in agricultural land (including the right of Union residents to buy agricultural land in Poland), while the European Commission, during the negotiations, had proposed a period of seven years. 
Poljska je npr. dogovorila prijelazni rok od 12 godina za potpunu liberalizaciju tržišta poljoprivrednog zemljišta (uključujući pravo rezidenata Unije da kupe poljoprivredno zemljište u Poljskoj), dok je Europska komisija tijekom pregovora predlagala rok od sedam godina.
In other words, how much, during the assumption of the acquis, given solutions will suit the interests of the applicant country depends, among other things, on the expertise and capacities of the relevant structures of the public administration in its negotiations with the EU. 
Drugim riječima, koliko će pri preuzimanju acquisa pojedina rješenja odgovarati interesima zemlje kandidatkinje ovisi, između ostaloga, i o stručnosti i sposobnosti relevantnih struktura javne uprave u pregovorima s EU.
Candidate countries are obliged to accept national programmes for implementation of the acquis, and the EU regularly assesses the progress made in the implementation of these programmes. 
Zemlje kandidatkinje obvezne su prihvatiti nacionalne programe provođenja acquisa, a EU redovito prati napredak u provođenju tih programa.
By summer 2002, all the applicant countries from CEE had started negotiations on about 30 chapters of the acquis (apart from Romania, currently negotiating about 24 chapters). 
Do ljeta 2002. sve zemlje kandidatkinje iz središnje i istočne Europe počele su pregovore o 30 poglavlja acquisa (osim Rumunjske, koja za sada pregovara o 24 poglavlja).
Most chapters have been agreed on with Lithuania (28), then with Estonia, Latvia and Slovenia (27 chapters each), Slovakia (26), Czech Republic and Poland (25), Hungary (24), Bulgaria (20) and Romania (12) (Deutsche Bank, 2002). 
Najviše je poglavlja već dogovoreno s Litvom (28), slijede Estonija, Latvija i Slovenija s 27 dogovorenih poglavlja, Slovačka 26, Češka i Poljska 25, Mađarska 24, Bugarska 20 i Rumunjska 12 (Deutsche Bank, 2002).
