Abstract

As an EU Member State, Croatia is obliged to implement the Europe 2020 strategy. Moreover, it has recently decided to join the regional strategy SEE 2020, under which it has defined eleven headline targets, as ambitious as the targets set by other participating countries. As a participant in both EU strategic initiatives, Croatia has set itself sixteen headline targets and a number of reform measures and development priorities until 2020. While welcoming these processes, Croatia, regretfully, still lacks a uniform national development strategy. In the absence of an umbrella strategy document, three documents are currently in force, namely the National Reform Programme, Convergence Programme and Partnership Agreement, which, together with several economically relevant sectoral strategies, constitute the backbone of the next strategy cycle until 2020.
