They talked with Minister Marić about the current situation of foreign investments in Croatia and the content of the new edition of the White Book, its conclusions and recommendations.

"In the new edition of the White Book we wanted to emphasize the importance and necessity of a business climate that encourages the speed of decision-making and investment business processes, which directly contributes to competitiveness, accelerates development, stimulates return, stops emigration and attracts people who can contribute to the development of the Republic of Croatia. . Such a step forward would have universal significance and would affect not only foreign but also all investments in Croatia.

We thank the Minister of Finance Zdravko Marić, as well as the entire team of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Croatia for a constructive meeting and cooperation and we are available for further talks for the benefit of the business environment in Croatia, "said President Mladen Fogec.
