Bio je to poklon poznatog riječkog patricija Iginia Scarpe svojoj supruzi.


The villa is surrounded by a marvellous, carefully cultivated garden with exotic plants that were brought from all over the world by captains, Scarpa’s friends. On 27th March 1884, between Villa Angiolina and St. James’ church the first hotel on the eastern side of the Adriatic was opened - hotel «Kvarner».


Oko ljetnikovca je zasađen prekrasan, pažljivo njegovan vrt s egzotičnim biljem što su ga pomiorski kapetani, prijatelji Scarpe donosili sa svih strana svijeta. a 27. ožujka 1884. godine, između Ville Angioline i crkvice Sv. Jakova otvoren je prvi hotel na istočnoj obali Jadrana, hotel «Kvarner».


One year later, in 1885, the first tourist came to visit Mali Lošinj.


Već sljedeće godine, 1885., u Mali Lošinj je doputovao njegov prvi turist.


It was Dr. Conrad Clar, a renowned Austrian physician who brought his sick son there.


Bio je to poznati austrijski liječnik, dr. Conrad Clar koji doveo svog bolesnog sina.


The child got well soon, and the reputation of Mali Lošinj as a health resort grew rapidly.


Djete je ubrzo ozdravilo, a ugled Malog Lošinja kao klimatskog lječilišta naglo porastao.


While king Franz Joseph was fond of Opatija, his brother, Archduke Joseph, preferred Crikvenica, where the first wooden beach was built in 1888, followed by the Archduchess Clotilda’s hotel.


Dok se kralj Franjo Josip zaljubio u Opatiju, njegov brat najvodvoda Josip založio se za Crikvenicu koja je dobila prvo drveno kupalište 1888. godine, a zatim i hotel nadvojvotkinje Clotilde.


In the Kvarner Guests Golden Book are also registered the Emperor and king Franz Joseph I, the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, the Belgian princess Stefani, the German emperor William II, the Italian king Vittorio Emanuele III, the ballerina Isadora Duncan, the composer Gustav Mahler, the actress Simone Signoret, the writers Anton Čehov and Henrik Sienkiewicz…


U zlatnoj knjizi kvarnerskih gostiju upisani su car i kralj Franjo Josip prvi, prijestolonasljednik Franjo Ferdinand, nadvojvoda Ferdinand Maksimilijan, belgijska princeza Stefani, njemački car Vilim Drugi, talijanski kralj Vittorio Emanuele Treći, balerina Isadora Duncan, skladatelj Gustav Mahler, glumica Simone Signoret, pisci Anton Čehov i Henrik Sienkiewicz…


In 1936 the English king Eduard VIII decided to escape from his state obligations and court intrigues and set sail to Rab with his vessel.


Engleski kralj Eduard VIII. godine 1936. odlučio je pobjeći od državnih obveza i dvorskih intriga i svojim brodom zaploviti prema Rabu.


In the Bay Kandarola, hidden from from curious eyes, he entered the sea completely naked with his companion Wallis.


Sa svojom družicom Wallis u Uvali Kandarola, malo podalje od očiju znatiželjnika, ušao je u more potpuno gol.


Although the first beach for nudists had been opened in Rab even two years before the king’s arrival, this moment was soon acknowledged as the beginning of naturism in Rab.


Iako je na Rabu čak dvije godine prije kraljeva dolaska otvorena prva plaža za nudiste, taj trenutak ubrzo je prihvaćen kao početak naturizma.


The urban area of Mali Lošinj* includes the island Lošinj with the belonging settlements - Veli Lošinj, Mali Lošinj, Žunski, St. Jakov, Nerezine, then five settlements on the surrounding smaller islands- Unije, Susak, Ilovik, Vele and Male Srakane, and four settlements on the island Cres - Osor, Punta Križa, Ustrine and Belej.


Gradsko područje Malog Lošinja* uključuje otok Lošinj sa pripadajućim naseljima - Veli Lošinj, Mali Lošinj, Žunski, Sv. Jakov, Nerezine, zatim pet naselja na okolnim manjim otocima - Unije, Susak, Ilovik, Vele i Male Srakane, te četiri naselja na otoku Cresu - Osor, Punta Križa, Ustrine i Belej.


In the Roman age the leading settlement on the islands Cres and Lošinj was Osor, which became the centre of the bishopric.


U rimsko doba vodeće naselje na cresko-lošinjskom otočju bio je Osor, koji je tijekom slijedećih stoljeća postao i sjedište biskupije.


Different from it, Velo and Malo Selo (today's Veli and Mali Lošinj) were founded pretty late, in the 13th century.


Za razliku od njega, Velo i Malo Selo (današnji Veli i Mali Lošinj) osnivaju se prilično kasno, u 13. stoljeću.


Owing to maritime affairs and shipbuilding, and later to tourism development, Mali Lošinj has developed into the largest and most important settlement.


Zahvaljujući pomorstvu i brodogradnji te kasnije razvoju turizma Mali Lošinj se razvio u najveće i najvažnije naselje.


Under the Austrian authority in the 19th century, there were the first regular censuses in this region.


U doba austrijske vlasti u 19. stoljeću na ovom području provode se i prvi redoviti popisi stanovništva.


Therefore, it is possible to follow the population trends from 1857 to the last census in 1991, and to make an estimate for 2001.


Stoga je moguće pratiti kretanje broja stanovnika od 1857. godine do zadnjeg popisa 1991. godine, te dati procjenu za 2001. godinu.


To represent the population trends of the Mali Lošinj urban area from 1857 to 1991, to make an estimate for 2001, and to notice possibly different trends of change in the number of inhabitants of particular settlements in connection with the central functions, settlement size and communications.


Prikazati kretanje broja stanovnika gradskog područja Malog Lošinja od 1857. do 1991. godine, dati procjenu za 2001. godinu, te uočiti eventualno različite trendove promjene broja stanovnika pojedinih naselja u vezi s centralnim funkcijama, veličinom naselja i prometnom povezanošću.


Mathematical-statistical methods are usual in demographic researches, they are based upon statistical data: index of change in the number of inhabitants from 1857 to 1991, estimate for 2001, and linear diagram as a helping graphic method in analysis and interpretation of the research results.


Matematičko-statističke metode uobičajene u demogeografskim istraživanjima, temeljene na statističkim podacima: indeks promjene broja stanovnika od 1857. do 1991. g., procjena za 2001., te linearni dijagram kao grafička metoda za pomoć pri analizi i interpretaciji rezultata istraživanja.


The United States played the central role in the diplomatic pressure exerted on Slovenia.


Sjedinjene Američke Države odigrale su središnju ulogu u diplomatskom pritisku na Sloveniju.


The Americans dealt the first blow to the Slovenians in March, and continued when Hillary Clinton met with Samuel Zbogar in Washington, and over the past weeks diplomatic activities have been additionally stepped up and Borut Pahor's government had to back down, a high-ranking diplomatic source at the Croatian Foreign Ministry confirmed for Nacional. A significant role in unblocking the negotiations was also played by Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, Carl Bildt, Jadranka Kosor and Gordan Jandrokovic, but even among top Government officials they now acknowledge that the negotiations with the European Union would still be at a standstill had the US not gotten involved. Washington began pressuring the Slovenians in the early spring, when they tried to thwart Croatian accession to NATO.


Amerikanci su još u ožujku izveli prvi udar na Slovence, nastavak je uslijedio prilikom susreta Hillary Clinton i Samuela Žbogara u Washingtonu, a posljednjih tjedana diplomatske aktivnosti dodatno su pojačane i vlada Boruta Pahora morala je popustiti, potvrdio je za Nacional visoki diplomatski izvor u Ministarstvu vanjskih poslova RH. Značajne uloge u deblokadi pregovora pripale su i Kolindi Grabar- Kitarović, Carlu Bildtu, Jadranki Kosor i Gordanu Jandrokoviću, ali čak i u vrhu hrvatske vlade sada priznaju kako bi pegovori s Europskom unijom i dalje bili na mrtvoj točki da se nije aktivno uključio SAD. Washington je početkom proljeća počeo pritiskati Slovence, koji su pokušali spriječiti ulazak Hrvatske u NATO.


From the US perspective this kind of Slovenian policy, on the long term, threatened to worsen the political situation in Southeastern Europe, where Croatia has the role of the country that should secure stability.


Iz američke perspektive takva slovenska politika dugoročno je prijetila pogoršanjem političke situacije u jugoistočnoj Europi, gdje Hrvatska ima ulogu zemlje koja treba osigurati stabilnost.


It has reaffirmed this by sending troops to Afghanistan, and by recognising Kosovo's independence in March of 2008.


Potvrdila je to slanjem vojnih trupa u Afganistan, kao i priznanjem neovisnosti Kosova u ožujku 2008.


Of particular importance is Croatian Government's complete departure from Tudjman's policy towards Bosnia & Herzegovina, which, de facto, boiled down to an attempt to carve up the neighbouring country.


Posebno je važan potpuni otklon hrvatske vlade od Tuđmanove politike prema Bosni i Hercegovini, koja se, de facto, svodila na pokušaj podjele susjedne države.


The Sanader administration adopted a diametrically opposed position and completely rejected the idea of revitalising Herceg-Bosna, the entity championed by the Croatian political right.


Sanaderova vlada zauzela je dijametralno drukčiju poziciju i posve odbacila ideju o revitalizaciji Herceg-Bosne, koju zagovara hrvatska desni-ca.


This position significantly contributed to improving Croatian-American relations, and the US pressure on Slovenia.


Takvo stajalište bitno je pridonijelo jačanju hrvatsko-američkih međudržavnih veza, pa i pritisku SAD-a na Sloveniju.


What the US position on the matter was became evident on 30 July when Hillary Clinton and Samuel Zbogar met in Washington.


Kakva je pozicija SAD-a, vidjelo se 30. srpnja, kad su se u Washingtonu susreli Hillary Clinton i Samuel Žbogar.


Hillary Clinton was explicit then in demanding the talks be unblocked, which was evident from the official statements after the meeting with Zbogar. "The United States hopes for a resolution to the dispute between Croatia and Slovenia.


Tom prilikom Hillary Clinton eksplicitno je zatražila deblokadu pregovora, što se vidjelo i u službenim izjavama nakon susreta sa Žbogarom: “Sjedinjene Države nadaju se rješenju spora između Slovenije i Hrvatske.


Obviously, the two prime ministers are going to be meeting on Friday, and we are hopeful that the matter will be resolved to the benefit of both countries," said US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.


Očito je da će o tome razgovarati premijeri dviju zemalja u petak i mi se nadamo da će to pitanje biti riješeno na dobrobit obiju zemalja”, izjavila je američka državna tajnica Hillary Clinton.


Samuel Zbogar tried to play down the significance of the US pressure, but did not deny information that the US wanted a final resolution of the dispute. "The Americans are welcome in the process, but we feel that it should all be resolved in the frame of the European Union." In any event, it became clear to the head of the Slovenian diplomacy while in Washington that unblocking the talks was in the US' interest and the process picked up steam thereafter.


Samuel Žbogar pokušao je umanjiti važnost američkog pritiska, ali nije zanijekao informacije da SAD želi konačno rješenje spora: “Amerikanci su dobrodošli u tom procesu, ali mi smatramo da sve treba riješiti u okviru Europske unije.” U svakom slučaju, u Washingtonu je slovenskom šefu diplomacije postalo jasno da je deblokada interes SAD-a i nakon toga proces se ubrzao.


Jadranka Kosor and Borut Pahor had their first meeting two days later, which laid the foundation to a resolution of the crisis.


Dva dana poslije došlo je do prvog sastanka Jadranke Kosor i Boruta Pahora, na kojem su stvoreni temelji rješavanja krize.


The US role was crucial because Slovenia was clearly given to understand that it should find a way to back out of the blockade, and Croatia was urged not to reject a compromise and the proposition that the border dispute could only be resolved by an international court.


Američka uloga bila je presudna jer je Sloveniji jasno stavljeno do znanja da pronađe modalitete za odustanak od blokade, a Hrvatskoj poručeno da odustane od odbacivanja kompromisa i teza prema kojima granični spor mogu isključivo rješavati međunarodni sudovi.


Robert Bradtke, until recently the US ambassador to Croatia, also played a big role in the process.


Veliku ulogu u tim procesima imao je Robert Bradtke, donedavni američki veleposlanik u Hrvatskoj.


At the Foriegn Ministry they descibe Bradtke as a "great diplomat" very much to be credited for improving relations and an exchange of tactical information with Washington.


U MVP-u Bradtkea opisuju kao “velikog diplomata” uvelike zaslužnog za jačanje veza i razmjenu taktičkih informacija s Washingtonom.


Croatia joined NATO during his term as ambassador, which was preceeded by a visit to Croatia by former US President George W. Bush, which would not have happened without positive information from the office of Robert Bradtke.


Za vrijeme njegova veleposlaničkog mandata Hrvatska je primljena u NATO, a prije toga bivši predsjednik SAD-a George W. Bush posjetio je Republiku Hrvatsku, što se ne bi dogodilo bez pozitivnih informacija iz ureda Roberta Bradtkea.


That does not mean that he supported every move made by Croatian Government a priori, but officials that took part in resolving the dispute between Croatia and Slovenia have only the best to say about his contribution.


To ne znači da je a priori podržavao svaki potez ovdašnjih vlasti, ali, dužnosnici koji su sudjelovali u rješavanju spora između Hrvatske i Slovenije biranim riječima opisuju njegov doprinos.


In the crisis that emerged from the Slovenian attempt to derail Croatian accession to NATO Bradtke advised Sanader by way of an intermediary that he restrain himself from giving heated commentary, and then publicly warned the Pahor administration that their behaviour was unacceptable.


U krizi nastaloj slovenskim pokušajem zaustavljanja ulaska Hrvatske u NATO Bradtke je preko posrednika savjetovao Sanaderu da se suzdrži od žestokih komentara, a potom je javno istupio i upozorio Pahorovu vladu da je takvo ponašanje neprihvatljivo.


The US involvement in resolving the dispute was confirmed these days by US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley, who greeted the deal hammered out by Zagreb and Ljubljana, and confirmed that the US " had significant conversations with both countries," and that it had "helped through some quiet, skillful diplomacy." Diplomatic sources in Washington also indicated that it was in fact the American involvement, along with the efforts of the EU, that made an important contribution to the Croatian-Slovenian deal.


Američki angažman u rješavanju spora potvrdio je ovih dana i glasnogovornik State Departmenta Philip Crowley, koji je pozdravio dogovor Zagreba i Ljubljane, ali i potvrdio da je “SAD obavio važne razgovore s objema stranama” te da je “pomogao u tihoj diplomaciji”. Iz diplomatskih izvora u Washingtonu također je plasirana informacija da je upravo američko angažiranje, uz napore EU, dalo važan doprinos hrvatsko-slovenskom dogovoru.


And while she has taken a back seat ever since giving up the post of foreign minister, a good part of the legwork was done by Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic.


Premda u drugom planu otkako je 2007. prestala biti ministrica vanjskih poslova, dobar dio posla obavila je Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović.


In Government they feel that she has, over the past year since being appointed the Ambassador to the US, established very beneficial relations with representatives of the Washington administration, which has contributed to a stronger US engagement in the Balkans.


U vladi smatraju kako je u proteklih godinu dana, koliko je veleposlnica u SAD-u, uspostavila iznimno korisne odnose s predstavnicima washingtonske administracije, što je pridonijelo jačanju angažmana SAD-a na Balkanu.


The departure of Sanader was a mitigating circumstance, as she had been on very bad terms with the former Prime Minister over the past few years.


Olakotna je okolnost i Sanaderov odlazak, jer je posljednjih godina bila u vrlo lošim odnosima s nekadašnjim premijerom.


Besides good contacts in Washington, the support of Minister Gordan Jandrokovic, whose close aid describes Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic as "one of our most capable diplomats, equally capable and charming," as works in her favour.


Osim dobrih veza u Washingtonu, u prilog joj ide i podrška ministra Gordana Jandrokovića, čiji bliski suradnik opisuje Kolindu Grabar-Kitarović kao “jednu od naših najsposobnijih diplomatkinja, podjednako sposobnih i šarmantnih”.


She has, in any event, done a big lobbying job in gaining US support for Croatia.


Ona je, u svakom slučaju, napravila velik lobistički posao u pridobivanju američke podrške za Hrvatsku.


There I no doubt that some European countries have also for months now been intensively engaged in removing the Slovenian blockade.


Neosporno je da su i neke europske zemlje već mjesecima intenzivno angažirane na uklanjanju slovenske blokade.


The first major initiative was that of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, which fell through late last year.


Prvi značajniji pokušaj bila je inicijativa francuskog predsjednika Nicolasa Sarkozyja, koja je propala krajem prošle godimu ne.


This was followed by the Czech presidency of the EU, which made no serious effort to end the blockade of the talks, although the period did see the start of the earnest international marginalisation of Slovenia.


Uslijedilo je češko predsjedništvo, koje nije us ozbiljnije pokušalo prekinuti blokadu pregovora, ali u tom je razdoblju počela snažna međunarodna marginalizacija Slovenije.


In early April the governments of some Western European countries, above all Germany and France, indicated that the Slovene blockade would last at most another five or six months.


Početkom travnja iz zapadnoeuropskih vlada nekih zemalja, ponajprije Njemačke i Francuske, stigle su najave kako će slovenska blokada trajati još najviše pet ili šest mjeseci.


A high-ranking member of the German Federal Parliament responsible for Southeastern Europe said that Slovenia was too small country to defy the other members of the European Union, which have achieved a consensus on continuing talks with Croatia, on the long term.


Visokorangirani član Bundestaga, koji pokriva područje jugoistočne Europe, ustvrdio je da je Slovenija premala država da bi na duži rok mogla prkositi ostalim članicama Europske unije, među kojima postoji konsenzus o nastavku pregovora s Hrvatskom.


This German politician suggested to his Croatian colleagues that they be patient and avoid harsh words and accusations in their deliberations with Slovenia, advice recent events have borne out.


Taj njemački političar sugerirao je hrvatskim kolegama strpljivost i izbjegavanje teških riječi i optužbi u raspravi sa Slovenijom i posljednji događaji pokazuju da je bio u pravu.


Three other European countries almost nobody mentions also played important roles in weakening the Slovenian blockade – Italy, Austria and Hungary.


U slabljenju slovenske blokade važnu ulogu odigrale su tri europske države koje nitko gotovo i ne spominje - Italija, Austrija i Mađarska.


But in the diplomatic circles of the EU high-ranking officials from these countries spent months lobbying for a stop to the blockade of the negotiation process.


No u diplomatskim krugovima EU-a visoki dužnosnici tih zemalja mjesecima su lobirali za prekid blokade pregovaračkog procesa.


Carl Bildt, the Swedish Foreign Minister, also deserves credit for giving the unblocking new impetus. Sweden has presided over the EU Council since 1 July.


Za novi zamah deblokade pregovora bio je zaslužan Carl Bildt, ministar vanjskih poslova Švedske, koji od 1. srpnja predsjeda Vijeću EU-a.


He has served as the EU peace envoy for Southeastern Europe, the international community's high representative to Bosnia & Herzegovina, he has testified before the Hague tribunal and is the owner of a summer house on the island of Korcula.


Bildt se već 15-ak godina bavi Balkanom: u prošlosti je bio mirovni izaslanik EU-a za jugoistočnu Europu, visoki predstavnik međunarodne zajednice u BiH, svjedočio je na Haaškom tribunalu, a i vlasnik je vikendice na Korčuli.


He has a poor standing in Croatia because of his criticism of Operations Flash and Storm, and testified in favour of Biljana Plavsic before the Hague tribunal, but over the past two months has made quite an effort to resolve the Croatian-Slovenian border dispute.


U Hrvatskoj nema dobar rejting jer je kritizirao akcije “Bljesak” i “Oluja”, a u Haagu nastupao u korist Biljane Plavšić, no u posljednja dva mjeseca uložio je priličan napor u rješavanju hrvatsko-slovenskog graničnog spora.


In the diplomatic community in Zagreb there is still scepticism concerning Bildt's political positions, but his current involved has been recognised.


U zagrebačkim diplomatskim krugovima još uvijek postoji skepsa prema Bildtovim političkim stajalištima, ali odaje mu se priznanje za dosadašnji angažman.


There is little he could do on his own, as it was with the French and Czech foreign ministers, but the US pressure on the Slovenians worked in his favour.


Malo toga mogao bi napraviti samostalno, baš kao što to nisu uspjeli ni ministri vanjskih poslova Francuske i Češke, ali na ruku godimu je išao američki pritisak na Slovence.


Bildt appealed to Pahor and Zbogar to agree to unblock the negotiations at a meeting of EU foreign ministers held last week in Stockholm.


U takvim okolnostima Bildt je prošlog tjedna na skupu ministara vanjskih poslova EU-a u Stockholmu apelirao na Pahora i Žbogara da prihvate deblokadu pregovora.


The pressure has given results and Sweden will on 16 October organise a pre-accession conference at which the negotiations between Croatia and the EU will be continued, and it is realistic to expect that most chapters will be closed by the end of the year, while the remainder should be completed by mid 2010.


Pritisak je uspio i Švedska će 16. listopada organizirati Pristupnu konferenciju na kojoj će biti nastavljeni pregovori Hrvatske i EU-a, a do kraja godine realno je očekivati zatvaranje većine poglavlja, dok bi preostala trebala biti dovršena sredinom 2010.


That means that Croatia could become a member of the EU in 2012, and an example to Macedonia, Serbia and other Balkan countries that it pays to compromise.


To znači da bi Hrvatska 2012. mogla postati članica EU-a i primjer Makedoniji, Srbiji i ostalim balkanskim državama kako su kompromisi isplativi.


Thee is no doubt that part of the credit goes to Carl Bildt, who has an opportunity to establish himself during the Swedish presidency of the EU as one of Europe's most capable ministers.


Dio zasluga nesumnjivo pripada i Carlu Bildtu, koji ima priliku etablirati se tijekom švedskog predsjedanja kao jedan od najsposobnijih europskih ministara.


Besides the unblocking of the Slovenian-Croatian negotiations there is soon to be a repeat referendum in Ireland, the success of which would allow for the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty and the political transformation of the Union.


Osim deblokade slovensko-hrvatskih pregovora uskoro slijedi ponovljeni referendum u Irskoj, čiji bi uspjeh omogućio primjenu Lisabonskog ugovora i političku transformaciju Unije.


And Bildt is organising a major gathering on climate change, which the Swedish presidency has underlined as the current biggest problem in the world.


Uz to, Bildt organizira i veliki skup o klimatskim promjenama, koje je švedsko predsjedništvo izdvojilo kao trenutačno najteži problem u svijetu.


The successful resolution of these three open issues would promote Sweden's presidency of the European Union and Bildt as above average.


Uspješno rješavanje tih triju otvorenih pitanja predstavilo bi Švedsku i Bildta kao natprosječno dobre predsjedatelje Europskoj uniji.


Nacional's source in the Croatian Foreign Ministry has also singled out the exception role of Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor.


Nacionalov sugovornik iz MVP-a apostrofira i iznimnu ulogu premijerke Jadranke Kosor.


When she took up the office of Prime Minister, it was assumed that her lack of international experience would mean that she would not bother herself overly with attempts to unblock the negotiations with the EU, but would rather concentrate her efforts on the economy and stabilising the social situation in Croatia.


Kad je preuzela dužnost predsjednice vlade, pretpostavljalo se da se zbog malog međunarodnog iskustva neće previše zamarati pokušajima deblokade pregovora s EU-om, nego da će se orijentirati na gospodarske teme i stabliziranje socijalne situacije u Hrvatskoj.


Now those who have had an opportunity to work with Jadranka Kosor since she took up the office of Prime Minister point out that she demonstrated a surprising level of diplomatic skill in the negotiations with Pahor.


Danas oni koji su imali priliku surađivati s Jadrankom Kosor otkako je premijerka ističu da je u pregovorima s Pahorom pokazala iznenađujuću razinu diplomatskih vještina.


The framework for a resolution was, of course, drafted by Jandrokovic's team, with the help of Minister Ivan Simonovic in the legal wordings.


Razumije se da su okvir za rješenje izradili u Jandrokovićevu timu, kojem je pravnim formulacijama pomogao i ministar Ivan Šimonović.


But the actual talks were carried out by Prime Minister Kosor alone, who also had to take into consideration the counsel of both Washington and Brussels.


Ali pregovore je obavila, usput slušajući savjete iz Washingtona i Bruxellesa, isključivo premijerka Kosor.


This success confirms the idea that she is more and more evidently making her mark on international politics.


Ovaj uspjeh potvrđuje tezu o njezinu sve vidljivijem etabliranju u međunarodnoj politici.


Just half a year ago she was entirely dependent on Sanader's decision as a result of which she was, in insider circles, often disparaged within the HDZ. And now in just two months Jadranka Kosor's position has changed by a hundred and eighty degrees, what is ore she bases her own political credibility on foreign policy.


Još prije pola godine posve je ovisila o Sanaderovim odlukama, zbog čega su je - u internim krugovima - nerijetko omalovažavali i u HDZ-u. A onda se u samo dva mjeseca položaj Jadranke Kosor izmijenio za stotinu i osamdeset stupnjeva, štoviše, vlastiti politički kredibilitet temelji na vanjskoj politici.


One should not belittle the fact that she has already met twice with Angela Merkel, and recently in Gdansk with Vladimir Putin, even though many national leaders tried in vain to set up meetings with the Russian Prime Minister.


Ne smije se omlovažavati podatak da se već dva puta susrela s Angelom Merkel, a nedavno u Gdanjsku i s Vladimirom Putinom, iako su brojni državnici uzalud pokušavali ugovoriti sastanak s ruskim premijerom.


These appear to be minor, but are in fact significant indicators of her ever better rating.


To su naizgled sitni, ali signifikantni pokazatelji sve boljeg rejtinga.


Few even remember Sanader in international political circles, the opposition is quite lacklustre, and Jadranka Kosor is slowly turning into a leader.


U međunarodnim političkim krugovima Sanadera se još malo tko sjeća, opozicija je posve nezanimljva, a Jadranka Kosor polako se pretvara u lidera.


Evidence of the very good relations between Croatia and the USA are the preparations for a high-level meeting soon, and according to diplomatic sources Hillary Clinton and Gordan Jandrokovic could meet in Washington.


Dokaz da su odnosi Hrvatske i SAD-a vrlo dobri jesu i pripreme za skori susret na visokoj razini, a prema diplomatskim izvorima u Washingtonu bi se mogli sastati Hillary Clinton i Gordan Jandroković.


Summary: Potentiometric method after Leden was used in determining the stability constants (K'n) for Cd-chloride(n) complexes (n=1-4) in 10 and 30 mass per cent tert-butanol-water mixture at different ionic strengths and temperatures (15-40C).


Sažetak: Potenciometrijskom metodom prema Ledenu određene su konstante stabilnosti (K'n) Cd-klorid(n) kompleksa (n=1-4) u 10 i 30%-tnoj smjesi terc. butanol-voda pri raznim ionskim jakostima i temperaturama (15-40C).


From K'n values were determined the thermodynamic stability constants (Kn), and from these the standard thermodynamic quantities were obtained for complex-forming reactions.


Iz K'n vrijednosti dobivene su termodinamičke konstante stabilnosti (Kn), a iz njih standardne termodinamičke veličine za reakcije nastajanja kompleksa.


The influence of the dielectric constant on the quantities obtained was established, and by comparison with the values from literature for 2-propanol-water and acetone-water mixtures also the caracter of the organic component in the solvent.


Ustanovljen je utjecaj dielektrične konstante na dobivene veličine, a iz usporedbe s podacima iz literature za smjese 2-propanol-voda i aceton-voda također i karakter organske komponente u otapalu.


Keywords: Potentiometry,cadmium chloride complexes,tert-butanol-water mixtures,stability constants,thermodynamic quantities.


Ključne riječi: Potenciometrija,kadmij klorid kompleksi,smjese terc. butanol-voda,konstante stabilnosti,termodinamičke veličine.


Summary: From measurements of the molar conductivity NaBr electrolyte of different concentrations in 2-butanol-water mixtures with 90 and 95 mass per cent alcohol in the 15-35C temperature range were determined the limiting molar conductivity and the association constant using Fuoss-Hsia and Lee-Wheaton equations, and other thermodynamic quantities for the association reaction.


Sažetak: Iz mjerenja molarne provodnosti elektrolita NaBr raznih koncentracija u smjesama 2-butanol-voda s 90 i 95 mas.% alkohola u temperaturnom području 15-35C određena je granična molarna provodnost i konstanta asocijacije pomoću jednadžbi Fuoss-Hsia i Lee-Wheaton, te ostale termodinamičke veličine za reakciju asocijacije.


The relation of obtained values and of the corresponding literature values for HBr in the same mixtures was treated and associated with the behaviour of the two electrolytes in tert-butanol-water mixtures.


Raspravljen je odnos dobivenih veličina i odgovarajućih literaturnih vrijednosti za HBr u istim smjesama te je povezan s ponašanjem tih dvaju elektrolita u smjesama terc. butanol-voda.


Keywords: Molar conductivity,sodium bromide,ion association,2-butanol-water mixtures,thermodynamic quantities.


Ključne riječi: Molarna provodnost,natrijev bromid,asocijacija iona,smjese 2-butanol-voda,termodinamičke veličine.


Sea turtles are reptilians who have inhabited the seas of the world for over 100 million years.


Morske kornjače su gmazovi koji preko 100 milijuna godina obitavaju u svjetskim morima.


Today, under the pressure of fishing, tourism, sea traffic, pollution, and global warming, these turtles are on the verge of extinction.


Danas se, pod pritiskom ribarstva, turizma, pomorskog prometa, onečišćenja i globalnog zatopljenja, nalaze na rubu egzistencije.


Considering the condition of the population in the Mediterranean, the loggerhead turtle (the most common species in the Adriatic), it received the status of an endangered species in 1996 on the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) list, and it is very likely that it will be given the status of a critically endangered species.


Obzirom na stanje populacije u Sredozemnom moru, glavata želva (najčešća vrsta Jadrana) još je 1996. godine po IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) listi dobila status ugrožene vrste (EN-endangered), a vrlo je vjerojatno da će se proglasiti i kritično ugroženom vrstom (CR-critically endangered).


This species has been in the "Appendix 1" of the International trade of endangered wildlife and plant species convention (CITES) since 1981, and Croatia is one of its signatories.


Još od 1981. godine ova je vrsta uvrštena u „Dodatak 1“ Konvencije o međunarodnoj trgovini ugroženim vrstama divljih životinja i biljaka (CITES) koje je Republika Hrvatska potpisnica.


It has been considered a critically protected species in Croatia since 1996 (NN 84/96).


U Republici Hrvatskoj je od 1996. godine strogo zaštićena vrsta (NN 84/96).


Being that sea turtles are lone and mysterious animals, their life cycle, habits and customary behavious have not been very thoroughly studied.


Kako su morske kornjače samotnjačke i tajanstvene životinje tako je i spoznaja njihovog životnog ciklusa, navika i običaja znanstveno slabo istražena.


There are many institutions all over the world who have been trying to minimize and stop their extermination in various ways, so it is not unusual to see new sea turtle recuperation centers being opened everywhere.


Diljem svijeta mnogo institucija na različite načine pokušava smanjiti i zaustaviti njihovo istrebljenje pa je tako često i osnivanje novih Centara za oporavak morskih kornjača.


Our Center, the only one of its kind in Croatia, helps rehabilitate about ten turtles every year.


Naš Centar, jedini u cijeloj Hrvatskoj, svake godine oporavi desetak kornjača.


The most frequent cause of their coming to us in hypothermia, which can lead to the development of various diseases.


Najčešći uzrok njihova dolaska k nama je pothlađenje koje prouzrokuje razna oboljenja.


The cause for this is frequent staying in the north Adriatic due to an extreme abundance of food there.


Razlog tome je čest boravak u sjevernom Jadranu radi izrazitog bogatstva hrane.


It is not commonly known that this particular area is one of the largest feeding grounds in the Mediterranean.


Naime, malo je poznato da je baš to područje jedno od najvećih hranilišta morskih kornjača u Sredozemlju.


Their numbers are quite high even in the winter time, when the temperatures are relatively low in comparison to the rest of the Mediterranean.


Njihova brojnost je i u zimskom periodu, kada su temperature u odnosu na čitavo sredozemlje najniže, prilično velika.


Systematic blood analysis is extremely important, not only for the better recovery of animals, butalso for better understanding the physiology of the way a species spends winter.


Sistematska analiza krvi je od neizmjerne važnosti ne samo za kvalitetnije ozdravljenje jedinki već i za razumijevanje fiziologije zimovanja vrste.


Scientific research shows that tortoises have regular metabolism even at the temperature of 14°C. Our experience in the Center shows that the turtles showed activity even at 8-9°C and that they were feeding in the sea.


Znanstvena istraživanja pokazala su da želve i pri 14°C imaju uobičajen metabolizam. Naše iskustvo u Centru pokazalo je da su kornjače i na 8-9°C bile aktivne i da su se hranile u moru.


Considering the fact that this phenomenon has not been thoroughly researched yet, systematic blood analysis of all the turtles living in the Center is immensely important.


Obzirom da taj fenomen još nije sasvim istražen, od neizmjerne važnosti je sistematska analiza krvi svih kornjača koje borave u Centru.


This gives us insight into the metabolism of a species which, having a cold-blooded organism, is surely becoming an exceptional representative of its group.


Time se dobiva uvid u metabolizam vrste koja, kao hladnokrvni organizam, zasigurno postaje iznimni predstavnik skupine.


The goal of the project is to generate a comprehensive insight into the biochemical and cellular parameter in the blood of the turtles, as well as into their variability amplitudes.


Cilj projekta je stvoriti opći uvid u biokemijske i stanične parametre krvi kornjača te njihove amplitude varijabilnosti.


The results will be compared to the data received from other institutions from all over the Mediterranean, and there will be a long-term follow-up on the parameter changes caused by global warming or other anthropogenic influences.


Rezultati će se uspoređivati s ostalim podacima iz drugih ustanova diljem sredozemlja, a dugotrajno će se pratiti i promjena parametara izazvana eventualnim globalnim zatopljenjem ili ostalim antropogenim učincima.


The Europska eel, Anguilla anguilla L., is an economically significant species of fish which is being exploited all over the world.


Europska jegulja, Anguilla anguilla L., gospodarski je značajna vrsta ribe koja se eksploatira diljem svijeta.


One of the most important factors of the drastic diminishment of the number of the European eel in the world is uncontrolled fishing of adult specimens for commercial purposes and cultivation.


Jedan od najznačajnijih čimbenika drastičnog smanjenja brojnosti europske jegulje u svijetu je pretjerani izlov odraslih jedinki za komercijalne svrhe i uzgoj.


Other causes for this are polution of salt- and fresh-water ecosystems, climate changes caused by global warming, habitat devastation, infestations of the parasite Anguillicola crassus, virus inflammations, etc. According to data from FAO-a (Food and Agriculture Organization) and ICES-a (International council for the exploration of the Sea, 2003) the entire European eel population has been reduced to 1-2% in the last 30 years. In 2007, it has been proposed that the European eel be added to "Appendix 2" of Article 2(2a) of the Law regarding confirmation of the Convention o international trade with endangered wildlife animal and plant species (CITES).


Ostali uzročnici su onečišćenje morskih i slatkovodnih ekosustava, klimatske promjene izazvane globalnim zatopljenjem, devastacija staništa, najezda parazita Anguillicola crassus, virusne upale i dr. Po podacima FAO-a (Food and Agriculture Organization) i ICES-a (International council for hte exploration of the Sea)(2003.) cjelokupna populacija europske jegulje u zadnjih 30-ak godina smanjena je na 1 do 2%. 2007. godine predloženo je uvrštavanje europske jegulje u „Dodatak 2“ članka 2(2a) Zakona o potvrđivanju konvencije o međunarodnoj trgovini ugroženim vrstama divljih životinja i biljaka (CITES).


IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) has included the European eel in 2008. on the list of the red book as a critically endangered species, protection type „IUCN 3.1“.


IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) je 2008. godine europsku jegulju uvrstio u popis crvene knjige kao vrstu kojoj prijeti izumiranje (CR-critically endangered), vrsta zaštite „IUCN 3.1“.


The eel has been included on the list of endangered species in the Republic of Croatia (NN 84/96).


U Republici Hrvatskoj jegulja je u popisu zaštićenih životinja (NN 84/96).


Since the technology for artificial multiplication has not been fully developed yet, the breeding is based on collecting larvae and feeding them until they have reached sufficient weight for consummation.


Kako tehnologija umjetnog razmnožavanja europske jegulje još nije usavršena, uzgoj se temelji na sakupljanju ličinka iz mora i dohranjivanju do konzumne težine.


In other words, the eel does not live its entire life cycle in the breeding grounds, instead, during each reproductive season a population is being irrevocably removed from the sea, which is a potential producer of new larvae.


Drugim riječima, u uzgajalištima se ne odvija cjelokupan životni ciklus jegulje već se svake reproduktivne sezone nepovratno iz mora odstranjuje populacija koja je potencijalni proizvođač novih ličinki.


In this way, the initial link in the eel's natural life process is being broken, which is causing the endangering of the species' survival in the long run.


Tako se prekida početna karika prirodnog ciklusa jegulje, a dugoročno se vrsta dovodi na rub opstanka.


Exploring the artificial induction of sexual maturity technology, which is yet to prove successful experimentally, is of enormous ecological importance primarily for saving the European eel from extinction, and secondarily for the possibility of further commercial exploration with no consequence to natural populations.


Istraživanje tehnologije umjetne indukcije spolne zrelosti, koja eksperimentalno još nije uspješna, od iznimnog je ekološkog značaja primarno za spas europske jegulje od izumiranja, a sekundarno za mogućnost daljnjeg komercijalnog korištenja bez učinka na prirodne populacije.


The goal of the project is to reach a level of sexual maturity in the European eel specimens, as well as to produce reproductive cells in order to perform the fertilization.


Cilj projekta je postignuti stupanj spolne zrelosti jedinki europske jegulje i proizvesti spolne stanice kako bi se izvršila oplodnja.


The larvae would then be returned to their natural habitats, which will contribute immensely to saving this species from extinction.


Dobivene ličinke bi se vraćale u prirodna staništa što neizmjerno pridonosi spašavanju vrste od izumiranja.


The same larvae would allow the breeding ground to breed without any influence to the natural populations.


Iste bi uzgajalištu omogućile uzgoj bez utjecaja na prirodne populacije.


The success of the project would lead to a better understanding of the life cycle of European eels both in nature and in captivity.


Uspjeh projekta doveo bi do boljeg razumijevanja životnog ciklusa europske jegulje u prirodi i zatočeništvu.


Preliminary research in the Pula Aquariumu has unveiled the pre-reproductive stage of the eel.


Preliminarna istraživanja u Aquariumu Pula pokazala su pred-spolni razvojni stupanj jegulje.


Further research is needed in order attain the production of reproductive cells, fertilization and development of larvae.


Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja za postizanje proizvodnje spolnih stanica, oplodnje i razvoja ličinki.


Due to the more frequent use of modern technologies (GPS, echo sounder etc.), as well as the ever increasing anthropogenic influence, the fish pool is becoming more and more depleted.


Zbog sve učestalije primjene modernijih tehnologija (GPS, echo sounder itd.), ali i sve većeg antropogenog utjecaja, riblji fond sve više osiromašuje.


A fish species which is especially endangered is the sea horse.


Naročito ugrožena skupina riba su morski konjići.


There are two kinds of sea horses in the Adriatic sea: shortsnouted sea horse Hippocampus hippocampus and longsnouted sea horse Hippocampus ramulosus.


U Jadranskom moru zastupljeni su s dvije vrste: konjić kratkokljunić Hippocampus hippocampus i konjić dugokljunić Hippocampus ramulosus.


Sea horses are special fish which, due their distinctive characteristics, behaviour and habitat, become easily accessible and interesting to humans, and have therefore become endangered.


Morski konjići su osobite ribe koje zbog svojih obilježja, ponašanja i staništa postaju lako dostupne i zanimljive ljudima te stoga i ugrožene.


Their numbers have decreased significantly in the last period, which is why they have been included in the list of endangered and critically endangered plant and animal species in the Republic of Croatia.


U posljednje se vrijeme njihova brojnost znatno smanjila pa su uvršteni u popis ugroženih i strogo zaštićenih biljnih i životinjskih vrsta Republike Hrvatske.


The sea horses were included in the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) list in 2003 as a DD – data deficient species. In the year 2002, the species were included in the "Appendix 1" of the Convention of international trade of endangered wildlife animals and plants species(CITES), that the Republic of Croatia is a signatory of.


U IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) listu, morski konjići su uneseni 2003. godine kao vrste kod kojih su podaci nepotpuni (DD – data deficient). 2002. godine vrste su uvrštene u „Dodatak 1“ Konvencije o međunarodnoj trgovini ugroženim vrstama divljih životinja i biljaka (CITES) koje je Republika Hrvatska potpisnica.


The Pula Aquarium has been displaying the long snouted seahorses as part of regular exhibition for a number of years now.


Aquarium Pula već niz godina u stalnom postavu prikazuje morske konjiće dugokljuniće.


Since 2008, the sea horses have mated in captivity and have had offspring.


Od 2008. godine morski konjići se pare u zatočeništvu i daju potomstvo.


Their increase in numbers has given incentive to the possibility of renewing their pool in the sea as well.


Povećanje njihove brojnosti, potaknulo je niz mogućnosti obnavljanja fonda u moru.


The research project begins by reviewing the quantity and distribution of sea horses in certain stations of the Pula aquatorium, as well as the aquatorim of South Istra (coves in Premantura, Pomer and Ližnjan), where the sea horses are known to live.


Projekt istraživanja započinje pregledom brojnosti i rasprostranjenosti morskih konjića na određenim postajama pulskog akvatorija i akvatorija južne Istre (uvale u Premanturi, Pomeru i Ližnjanu) u kojem je poznato da morski konjići obitavaju.


Multiplication of sea horses in the aquarium is conducted naturally by way of creating optimal conditions inside the aquarium (varied food, maintaing of constant chemical and physical parameters of sea water).


Razmnožavanje morskih konjića u akvariju provodi se prirodno putem optimalni uvjeti u akvariju (raznovrsna prehrana, održavanje stalnih kemijskih i fizikalnih parametra morske vode).


Sea horses in various growth stages would be released, with the permissions of Ministry of Culture, Environmental Preservation Office and the Environmental Preservation State Institute, into specific areas of the Pula or East Istra aquatoriums (Pomer, Medulin, Ližnjan and Premantura) in order to achieve their increase in numbers.


Morski konjići različitih životnih dobi uz dopuštenje Min. Kulture, Uprave za zaštitu prirode i Državnog zavoda za zaštitu prirode, puštali bi se na određena područja pulskog ili južnoistarskog akvatorija (Pomer, Medulin, Ližnjan i Premantura) radi povećanja brojnosti jedinki.

Ključne riječi: "omega 3", nezasićene masne kiseline, vitamini A, D i E, tolstolobik (srebrni šaran) planktonofag, dijetalni oblikovani riblji proizvodi-kroketi, frikadele, burgeri, medaljoni, djelovanje encima, eikosapentenoična kiselina (EPA), dokosaheksaenoična kiselina, "platelet" funkcija, LDL metabolizam, lipogenički encimi.


Research goals: Obtained and isolated have been the unsaturated fatty acids with C16, C18 and C22 atoms.


Ciljevi istraživanja: Dobivene su i izolirane nezasićene masne kiseline s C16, C18 i C22 atoma.


First of all, isolation with C22 is characeristic having a shortage of 10 hydrogen atoms, which means even 5 double linkes are missing to it to the saturation.


Prvenstveno je karakteristična izolacija s C22 atoma, koja ima manjak od 10 vodikovih atoma, što znači da joj nedostaje čak 5 dvostrukih veza do zasićenja.


This monoethane unsaturated fatty acid has been for the first time determined in a fat tissue of silver carp and according to its prophylactic it has a more efficient upon cardiac patients, vascular diseases and psoriasis than the well-known "omega 3" group.


Ova monoetan nezasićena masna kiselina po prvi puta je utvrđena u masnom tkivu srebrnog šarana i po svom profilaktičkom svojstvu ima djelotvorniji učinak na srčane bolesnike, bolesti krvnih žila i psorijazu od poznate omega 3" skupine.


Due to the fact that in this research we are especially interested in a programme how to incorporate these unsaturated fatty acids into final products of meat and fat of silver carp, we have begun to implement the solution of an optimal technological process of preparing semi-finished fish meals and that by a system of bone-removal, hashing, shaping, batter and panning, thermal treatment and gyro-freezing.


S obzirom da nas u ovom istraživačkom projektu posebno interesira program kako ove nezasićene masne kiseline inkorporirati u finalne proizvode od mesa i masti srebrnog šarana, mi smo prišli rješenju najoptimalnijeg tehnološkog procesa pripreme polugotovih jela i to sustavom otkoštavanja, usitnjavanja, oblikovanja, paniranja, termičke obrade i "šok" zamrzavanja.


For this purpose we have preparated our own technological recipes of a Fishburger composed of 69,0% of hashed, meat and fat of the above mentioned regions of silver carp (pectoral muscle, abdominal musculature and peritoneum).


U tu svrhu izradili smo i vlastitu tehnološku recepturu ribljeg burgera u sastavu 69,0% usitnjenog mesa i masti srebrnog šarana gore spomenutih regija (prsni mišić, trbušna muskulatura i potrbušina).


If Croatian Government does not undertake urgent and radical measures to salvage the peak tourist season the total revenue from tourism could drop by 5 billion kuna, or ten percent, from last year.


Ne poduzme li hrvatska vlada hitne i radikalne mjere u spašavanju turističke sezone ukupni turistički prihodi u odnosu na prošlu godinu mogli bi biti manji za čak pet milijardi kuna što je smanjenje od 10 posto.


That means that Government's plan to secure the functioning of the country to the end of June with a three percent deficit with its recent implementation of a package of anti-recession measures, and then to count on the earnings from the tourism industry to improve the economic situation, would fall through.


To znači da bi propao Vladin plan da nedavnom provedbom paketa antirecesijskih mjera Hrvatska osigura funkcioniranje države do kraja mjeseca lipnja 2009. uz tri posto deficita, a potom da računa na prihode od turizma čime bi se ekonomska situacija popravila.


If these tourism earnings do not come through Government will be forced to implement some other radical measures.


Ako se to ne ostvari Vlada će biti prisiljena povući neke druge radikalne mjere.


"In a time when it is clear to all that the Croatian importer & debtor concept cannot survive, and when it is impossible to replace it with an exporter & manufacturing economic concept on short notice, everyone is focused on the tourist 'harvest' as a source of covering the country's foreign currency illiquidity," says Miroslav Dragicevic, one of the leading experts in tourism consultancy and the founder of Horwath Consulting Zagreb.


"U trenutku kad je svima jasno da hrvatski uvozno-dužnički koncept ne može opstati, a na kratki rok ga nije moguće nadomjestiti izvozno-proizvodnim gospodarskim konceptom, oči bivaju uprte u turističku 'žetvu' kao izvor pokrića devizne nelikvidnosti zemlje", rekao nam je Miroslav Dragičević, jedan od vodećih stručnjaka na polju turističkog konzaltinga i osnivač tvrtke Horwath Consulting Zagreb.


Dragicevic feels that this attitude is reminiscent of the pleas of the thirsty in the desert because a tourism harvest, like the agricultural harvest, requires, besides good preparations, a happy combination of other circumstances.


Dragičević smatra kako se takav stav čini kao vapaj žednih u pustinji jer turistička žetva kao i ona u poljoprivredi osim dobre pripreme traži i dobar splet drugih okolnosti.


"Even the actual concept of the 'harvest' that was successfully carried out over the past few years, as a few summer months of crowds, is mostly linked to the proximity of the market, the construction of roads and, above all, with natural beauty backed by the marketing concept of the Mediterranean as it once was.


"Sam koncept 'žetve' koja se uspješno odvijala zadnjih godina i to u smislu gužvi u nekoliko mjeseci ljetne sezone uglavnom se povezuje s blizinom tržištu, izgradnjom cesta i nadasve prirodnih ljepota koji su podržani marketinškim konceptom Mediterana kakav je nekad bio.


Little was done to seriously restructure and globalise our tourism industry in the real sense of the word.


Malo je što učinjeno na ozbiljnom restrukturiranju i globalizaciji naše turističke industrije u pravom smislu te riječi.


That is why it is to be expected that the global crisis and our thirst for economic growth, employment and foreign currency will force the political elite to deal with tourism as a serious global industry," says Miroslav Dragicevic.


Zato se može očekivati da će globalna kriza i naša žeđ za gospodarskim rastom, zapošljavanjem i devizama natjerati političke elite da se s turizmom pozabave kao s ozbiljnom globalnom industrijom", rekao nam je Miroslav Dragičević.


That this was the case was indirectly confirmed by tourism minister Damir Bajs, who has announced measures aimed at salvaging the tourism season for the end of this month.


Da je tomu tako neizravno je potvrdio i ministar turizma Damir Bajs koji je za kraj ovog mjeseca najavio akcijske mjere za spas turističke sezone.


Despite several months of warnings that Croatia could in fact be hit hard when it comes to tourism, Bajs has decided to wait until now to react.


Unatoč višemjesečnim upozorenjima o tome da bi upravo Hrvatska mogla teško stradati kad je u pitanju turizam, Bajs je odlučio tek sada reagirati.


Over the past few months Croatian Government has doubled funds for the promotion of Croatian tourism in relation to last year, but that is the only measure that has been undertaken.


U proteklih nekoliko mjeseci hrvatska vlada je udvostručila sredstva za promociju hrvatskog turizma u odnosu na prošlu godinu, ali to je i jedina donesena mjera.


Nacional has tried to get answers from the Ministry of Tourism and the Croatian National Tourist Board on several questions about the coming tourist season, and on concrete measures to salvage it, but no one has provided any information.


Nacional je od Ministarstva turizma i Hrvatske turističke zajednice pokušao dobiti odgovore na neka pitanja o nadolazećoj turističkoj sezoni, te konkretnim mjerama za njezin spas, međutim, nitko nam se nije javio s bilo kakvim informacijama.


Silvia Markotic, the general manager at Split's five star Atrium hotel, tried to explain for us on what concrete examples hoteliers could be unburdened and where the state should help. "At the Atrium hotel we have consulted with hotels of a similar category and room availability.


Silvia Markotić, glavni menadžer splitskog hotela Atrium, koji ima pet zvjezdica, nam je pokušala objasniti na kojim se konkretnim primjerima trebaju rasteretiti hotelijeri i gdje bi država trebala pripomoći: "Mi iz Atrium hotela konzultirali smo nekoliko sličnih hotela po kategoriji i broju soba u državama u okružju.


We learned, for example, that a similar hotel in Italy pays music royalties four times less than we do, year round.


Primjerice, doznali smo da sličan hotel u Italiji plaća Zaštitu autorskih muzičkih prava (ZAMP) 4 puta manje nego mi, na razini cijele godine.


The hotels we contacted in Greece also pays much lower royalties, and has, for example, an average price per room of 200 euro, something Croatian high category hotels can only dream of.


U Grčkoj hotel koji smo konzultirali plaća također puno niži iznos za ZAMP, a npr. ima prosječnu neto cijenu sobe 200 eura o čemu hrvatski visokokategornici mogu samo maštati.


What would be logical is a drastic reduction in the value of a point for hotels, because we cannot be competitive if we are paying 25,000 euro in royalties and Radio & Television subscription fee per year.


Ono što bi bilo logično je drastično smanjenje vrijednosti boda za hotele jer mi ne možemo biti konkurentni ako na razini godine platimo 25.000 eura ZAMP i RTV pretplatu.


The Radio & TV subscription fee should also be cut to 50% capacity as the occupancy rate in Croatia during the year is less than that.


Također RTV pretplata bi trebala biti umanjena na 50% kapaciteta jer je popunjenost hotela u Hrvatskoj tijekom godine je i niža od toga.


There is also the issue of the VAT, which was 0% in Croatia for organised arrivals, but was then set at a single rate of 10%, which led to a significant hike in prices the market initially absorbed. But now that tourism is faced with this massive challenge price policy is very important.


Nadalje, postoji problem PDV-a koji je u Hrvatskoj bio 0% za organizirane dolaske pa je zaključen na jedinstvenu stopu 10% što je dovelo do značajnog poskupljenja koje je tržište tada apsorbiralo, ali sada kada je turizam suočen s najvećim izazovom itekako je bitna cjenovna politika.


Croatia hotels cannot be in the same position as, for example, hotels on Malta, where their reduced VAT rate is 5%, or Spain's 7%, Turkey's 8%, Bulgaria's 7%, Luxembourg's 3%.


Hrvatski hoteli ne mogu biti u istoj poziciji kao hoteli npr. na Malti gdje je PDV 5%, ili Španjolskoj 7%, Turskoj 8%, Bugarskoj 7%, Luksemburgu 3% koliko iznose njihove snižene stope PDV-a.


Hoteliers in competing countries have no idea what a forestry contribution is, many do not have a monument annuity, water protection fees.


Hotelijeri u nama konkurentskim državama ne znaju što je to doprinos za šume, mnogi također ne poznaju spomeničku rentu, naknadu za zaštitu voda.


For most hotels on the seaside it is easy to rack up over 20 various levies stipulated by law – from charges and membership fees to various contributions.


U većini hotela na obali lako se dođe do iznosa većeg od 20 različitih nameta koji su propisani zakonom - od naknada, članarina i različitih doprinosa.


And the cost of energy is massive and has increased by about 6%since the new tariff system was introduced in 2008."


Nadalje, trošak energije je golem i porastao je od uvođenja novog modela obračuna u 2008. približno 6%.


Instead of all these measures, the only concrete one Government has undertaken when it comes to tourism was a significant increase in the finances available for marketing and advertising, which is in any event insufficient, and the results of which are questionable.


Umjesto svega gore spomenutog, jedina konkretna mjera države kad je riječ o turizmu bilo je znatno uvećanje financijskih sredstava za marketing i oglašavanje što je u svakom slučaju nedostatno, a i rezultati su upitni.


"Since the Croatian tourism industry lacks strong alliances with the centres of power in tourism distribution," says Miroslav Dragicevic, "we were not able to build serious crisis programs with these players (TUI, Thomas Cook and others) because their interests are in other markets where they have hotels and employ the services of a powerful aviation.


O tome nam je Miroslav Dragičević rekao: "Budući da hrvatska turistička industrija nema jake saveze s centrima moći turističke distribucije nije bilo moguće s tim igračima (TUI, Thomas Cook i drugi) graditi ozbiljnije krizne programe jer su njihovi interesi na drugim tržištima gdje imaju hotele i upošljavaju snažnu avijaciju.


Now it is late to work on marketing for additional guest acquisition so we will, unfortunately, be left to the effects of proximity, beauty, the loyalty of nearby markets and other happy circumstances in the "last minute" booking phase.


Danas je kasno djelovati marketingom za dodatne akvizicije gostiju, pa ćemo, nažalost, ostati prepušteni utjecaju blizine, ljepote, lojalnosti okolnih tržišta i drugih sretnih okolnosti u tzv. last minute booking fazi.


All realistic business people feel that a drop in hotel occupancy within the 10% range would be a success, but will by all accounts be greater than that.


Svi realni poslovni ljudi smatraju da bi pad kod zauzeća hotela unutar 10% bio uspjeh, ali će po svemu sudeći biti i veći.


Camps will do better because there is no additional competition here, and quality private accommodation that already has its own guests will also fare well.


Kampovi će proći bolje jer ovdje nema dodatne konkurencije, a slično će proći i kvalitetniji privatni smještaj koji već ima svoje goste.


Hotels and lower quality private accommodations, then, will be the key source of a drop in tourism turnover in 2009.


Dakle hoteli i nekvalitetni privatni smještaj će biti ključni izvori pada turizma u 2009.


There is no doubt that all eyes will be turned to Government, which will have to find a way to mitigate to consequences by reducing fiscal and parafiscal contributions and above all to alleviate the loan debt burdens".


Nema sumnje da će sve oči biti uprte u državu koja će morati pronaći način da ublaži posljedice smanjenjem fiskalnih i parafiskalnih davanja te napose ublažavanjem kreditnih opterećenja", kaže Dragičević.


Some Croatian experts with whom Nacional spoke feel that the crisis is in some ways welcome, because if it lasts two years it will open a serious process of changes to the inherited socialist model of tourism.


Neki hrvatski stručnjaci s kojima je Nacional razgovarao smatraju kako je kriza na neki način i dobrodošla, jer ako potraje dvije godine otvorit će ozbiljan proces promjene naslijeđenog turističkog modela iz socijalizma.


Unfortunately, they say, Croatian Government is, as a result of the hunger for foreign currency and a lack of money, not in a position to implement a model of "creative destruction" and launch a new development cycle in line with the global competition rules of the game in this industry.


Nažalost, tvrde oni, hrvatska vlada zbog gladi za devizama kao i zbog nedostatka novca nije u stanju primijeniti model „kreativne destrukcije" i započeti novi razvojni ciklus sukladan globalnim konkurentskim pravilima igre u ovoj industriji.


Just like the former Yugoslavia carried out the operation of a century in tourism from the mid 1960s to mid 1970s when today's hotels were built, which were alter only superficially reconstructed, so too should Croatia now carry out a similar operation appropriate to the present times.


Kao što je bivša Jugoslavija u turizmu izvela operaciju stoljeća od sredine šezdesetih do sredine sedamdesetih kad su izgrađeni današnji hoteli koji su poslije samo površno obnavljani, tako bi sada i Hrvatska morala izvesti sličnu operaciju koja bi bila primjerena sadašnjem vremenu.


A lot of attention was given over the past months to tourist fairs, the markets and visitors were sounded out, and numerous meetings were held with tour operators.


Proteklih se nekoliko mjeseci dosta pažnje poklanjalo turističkim sajmovima, osluškivalo se tržište i posjetitelji, održani su brojni sastanci s tour operatorima.


Riviera Porec CEO Veljko Ostojic says that "Fairs are an increasingly less relevant barometer of tourism.


Veljko Ostojić predsjednik Uprave Riviere Poreč o tome nam je rekao: "Sajmovi sve manje postaju relevantan turistički barometar.


They are one of the channels of the channels of distribution, and the basic indicator is the state of booking by various sales channels year over year, and that is currently negative.


Oni su jedan od kanala distribucije, a osnovni indikator je stanje bookinga po različitim kanalima prodaje u odnosu na proteklu godinu, a on je sada negativan.


There are some indicators of more intensive last minute booking, as potential guests know that the offer, at least as far as the Mediterranean is concerned, is as a rule greater than the demand, i.e. that they will find vacancies.


Postoje određene indicije o jačem tzv. last minute bookingu, jer potencijalni gosti znaju da je ponuda u pravilu, barem što se Mediterana tiče, veća od potražnje, odnosno da će naći slobodnu sobu.


And, as a result of the uncertainty caused by the economic situation, which is resulting in a continued reduction of jobs, some guests will make the decision in the last moment.


Pored toga, zbog neizvjesnosti uzrokovane gospodarskom situacijom koja rezultira kontinuiranim smanjenjem broja radnih mjesta, dio gostiju će odluku donijeti u zadnji čas.


Some are hoping for last minute discounts and campaigns in some Mediterranean destinations.


Neki se nadaju i last minute popustima i akcijama u nekim mediteranskim destinacijama.


All this means that last minute booking will be higher than in previous years, and that the current booking situation should not be cause for panic, although it is certain that the situation is serious." Ostojic points out that Croatian Government has secured additional funds for joint advertising, which is positive in any case.


Sve to navodi, da će last minute biti jači nego proteklih godina i da sadašnje stanje bookinga ne treba uzrokovati paniku, ali je sigurno da je situacija ozbiljna." Ostojić ističe kako je hrvatska država osigurala dodatna sredstva za udruženo oglašavanje što je u svakom slučaju pozitivno.


But that is not enough.


Međutim, to nije dovoljno.


Potential overall losses to the national economy may be much greater than any possible additional investments into tourism. "Is it worth investing 100 to 150 million euro to not lose 700 million?


Potencijalni ukupni gubici države mogu biti puno veći od eventualnih dodatnih ulaganja u turizam: "Vrijedi li uložiti 100 do 150 milijuna eura da ne bismo izgubili 700 milijuna eura?


Besides, we have started talking about tourism now, when the overall financial situation in the country is very serious.


Pored toga, kod nas se ovih dana, kada je ukupna financijska situacija u zemlji krajnje ozbiljna, počelo razgovarati o turizmu.


You cannot make any sector, including tourism, internationally competitive and attractive overnight.


Ne možete preko noći bilo koji sektor pa tako i turizam učiniti međunarodno konkurentnim i atraktivnim.


We are all aware of the fact that tourism is something with which this country can be globally competitive and on the basis of which we can gain significant earnings and on which we can base long-term quality development. But there has never been a meaningful debate about tourism at the highest instances between tourism experts and the political elite.


Svi smo svjesni činjenice da je turizam u ovoj zemlji nešto čime možemo biti globalno konkurentni i nešto temeljem čega možemo ostvarivati značajne prihode te dugoročno temeljiti kvalitetna razvoj, no o njemu nikada nije vođena relevantna rasprava na najvišim mjestima između turističkih eksperata i političke elite.


Had there been as much money invested into tourism as there was into some other sectors such as finances, shipbuilding and the like, we would now have one of the world's most competitive products and would await a crisis with much greater ease.


Da je, kojim slučajem, u turistički sektor uloženo novca kao u neke druge sektore od financijskog, brodogradnje i slično danas bismo imali jedan od svjetski najkonkurentijih proizvoda i puno lakše bismo dočekali krizu.


Croatia will be a tourism country when the tourism minister sits right next to the Prime Minister.


Hrvatska će biti turistička zemlja kada ministar turizma bude sjedio odmah do premijera.


The state has done nothing for the tourism industry during this time of crisis; just look at the European Union.


Država za turističko gospodarstvo u vremenima krize nije napravila ništa, pa pogledajte samo Europsku uniju.


A recent meeting of finance ministers agreed to reduce the VAT rate to 5,5 percent.


Nedavno je na sastanku ministara financija dogovoreno spuštanje stope PDV-a na 5,5 posto.


How can we be competitive with our VAT rate?" asks Ostojic.


Kako mi s našom stopom možemo biti konkurentni?" pita se Ostojić.


It could be said that Croatia, as a result of a chaotic and uncontrolled tourism transition model, never decided, as a matter of public policy, what kind of tourism it wanted.


Moglo bi se reći kako Hrvatska zbog kaotičnog i stihijskog modela tranzicije u turizmu nije nikad kao javna politika odlučila kakav model turizma želi.


It did not find a solution for effective investment in tourism, it did not build new tourism infrastructure, it did not educate tourism and hotel professionals, nor did it find a model of central tourism management with a clear leadership and vision for a new and globally competitive tourist industry.


Nije našla rješenja za efikasnost investicija u turizmu, nije izgradila novu turističku infrastrukturu, nije obrazovala kadrove za turizam i hotelijerstvo, niti je pronašla model centralnog turističkog menadžmenta s jasnim vodstvom i vizijom za novi i globalno konkurentni turizam.


As a result of high barriers to entry and an inappropriate relationship towards tourism real estate, Croatia did not allow the internationalisation of its tourism industry through investors, brands and above all distribution alliances.


Hrvatska nije dopustila internacionalizaciju svojeg turizma putem investitora, brandova i napose distribucijskih saveza, a zbog visokih barijera ulaska i neprimjerenog odnosa prema turističkim nekretninama.


Hoteliers say that they cannot lower prices, because operations in "normal" years is so burdened by various contributions that profitability is questionable.


Hotelijeri tvrde kako ne mogu spuštati cijene, jer je poslovanje u "normalnim" godinama toliko opterećeno raznim davanjima da je profitabilnost upitna.


Veljko Ostojic pointed out the example of his own firm, which pays about seven million kuna a year in various water fees and contribution.


Veljko Ostojić je istaknuo primjer vlastite tvrtke koja plaća razne vodne naknade i doprinose oko sedam milijuna kuna godišnje.


"With additional price cutting the entire sector would 'sink' and it is an open question as to whether it could ever return to the existing price levels.


"Dodatnim spuštanjem cijena cijeli sektor bi 'potonuo' i pitanje je bi li se ikada mogao vratiti na postojeću razinu cijena.


And half way through the booking period it is also technically difficult to implement.


Osim toga, na polovici razdoblja bookinga to je i tehnički teško provedivo.


Let's not forget that the majority of tourism companies are privately owned, with exclusive competence over pricing policy.


Ne zaboravimo da je većina turističkih tvrtki u privatnom vlasništvu, s isključivo vlastitom kompetencijom nad cjenovnom politikom.


In short: prices can be lower if the business environment is more favourable for the economy.


Ukratko: cijene mogu biti niže ako uvjeti poslovanja budu povoljniji za gospodarstvo.


This is a rule valid for all sectors of the economy, including tourism," concludes Ostojic.


To je pravilo koje vrijedi za sve sektore gospodarstva pa tako i turizam", zaključio je Ostojić.


French Ambassador to the Republic of Croatia Jerome Pasquier, visited on Wednesday, 1 December 2010, Croatian Military Academy "Petar Zrinski", where he met the Director of the Academy, Major General Mirko Sundov and Deputy Director and Commander of the War College "Ban Josip Jelacic" Brigadier General Slaven Zdilar.

At the inaugural meeting were over a hundred growers from our municipality.


Na osnivačkoj skupštini okupilo se oko stotinjak vinogradara s naše Općine.


After registration, the Association joined 208 of winemakers, as well as winemakers from the neighboring municipalities.


Po registraciji u Udrugu se učlanilo 208 vinogradara iz naše, ali i susjednih općina.


The association was founded with the aim to bring together winemakers and encourage them to raise the vineyards in a contemporary way, the selection of high quality varieties for better treatment and protection of vineyards and wine production in cooperation with scientific institutions in the field of viticulture, winemaking and crop protection, and to collaborate with production and other institutions engaged in manufacturing and trading of wine.


Udruga je osnovana sa svrhom okupiti vinogradare i potaknuti ih na suvremeni način podizanja vinograda, odabir kvalitetnih sorata, na bolju obradu i zaštitu vinograda, na proizvodnju vina u suradnji sa znanstvenim institucijama iz područja vinogradarstva, vinarstva i zaštite bilja, te na suradnju s proizvodnim i ostalim ustanovama koje se bave proizvodnjom i prometom vina.


One of the most important guiding principle of the association was the establishment of a common cellar where the grapes would be processed under the supervision of members enologist.


Jedna od značajnih vodilja osnivanja Udruge bila je uspostavljanje zajedničkog podruma u kojem bi se prerađivalo grožđe članova pod stručnim vodstvom enologa.


The idea was that members of the Association after picking submit their grapes to the cellar, where they get the card with the record of amount of grapes, and cardholder may take the amount of wine that belong to him from the wine cellar.


Zamisao je bila da članovi Udruge nakon berbe svoje grožđe predaju u podrum, gdje bi se otvarala kartica za evidenciju, a vlasnik kartice mogao bi po želji i potrebi podizati u podrumu onoliko vina koliko mu u odnosu na prerađeno grožđe pripada.


This way all small production would be united, production quality would be equal and potential market surpluses would be created.


Tim putem ujedinile bi se male proizvodne jedinice, ujednačila kvaliteta vina i stvorili eventualni tržni viškovi.


It would certainly encourage small winemakers to increase the area of vineyards.


To bi zacijelo potaknulo male vinogradare na povećanje površina pod vinovom lozom.


The basis for all this are the 15 ha of vineyards that are owned bx winemakers.


Osnova za to su 15 ha vinograda koliko ih sada članovi Udruge ukupno imaju.


Despite the many actions that were taken by the Association, this attractive idea has not yet been realized, because of series of administrative obstacles.


Unatoč mnogim radnjama što ih je u tom pravcu Udruga poduzela, ova lijepa ideja još nije ostvarena, jer se pred njom spriječilo niz administrativnih prepreka.


However, even this effort has not remained without results, because as a common good for the members of the Association flood filter was purchased.


Ipak, ni to nastojanje nije ostalo bez rezultata, jer su kao zajedničko dobro za članove Udruge kupljeni naplavni filter u kombinaciji s pločastim te lopatar.


During its existence, Winemakers Association Marija Bistrica, has developed significant activities.


Udruga vinogradara Marija Bistrica tijekom svog postojanja razvila je značajne aktivnosti.


For the purpose of education members, only the first year 23 lectures in the field of viticulture and winemaking and one of horticulture were held,.


U cilju obrazovanja članova, samo u prvoj godini održana su 23 predavanja iz područja vinogradarstva i vinarstva, te jedno iz voćarstva.


Each year to this day the Executive Committee of the Association actively works to educate its members.


Svake slijedeće godine sve do današnjeg dana Upravni odbor Udruge aktivno radi na edukaciji svojih članova.


Every year educational judging of wine of members is organized.


Svake godine organizira se i interno edukacijsko ocjenjivanje vina članova Udruge.


It is worthwhile, for comparison, to note that the first year at the educational judging of wine were 98 samples of which 17 did not pass the threshold of quality wines.


Vrijedno je, usporedbe radi, pripomenuti da na edukacijskom ocjenjivanju vina prve godine od 98 uzoraka 17 nije prošlo prag kvalitete vina.


The purpose of this evaluation is to point out the shortcomings of the winemakers, but also to praise their good wine.


Svrha ovog ocjenjivanja je da se vinogradarima ukaže na nedostatke, ali i da se pohvali dobro u njihovom vinu.


Today we can boast that all wines are quality wine.


Danas se može pohvaliti da su sva vina kvalitetna.


Members of the Association compete at Wine festivals in Croatian Zagorje, where they have won gold, silver and bronze medals.


Članovi Udruge natječu se na zagorskim vinarijadama, gdje osvajaju zlatna, srebrna i brončana odličja.


Education of members has been contributed by a lot of visit to other winemakers associtaions.


Edukaciji članova mnogo su pridonijela i stručna putovanja.


Each year members of the Association visit the cellars and vineyards of Agricultural Faculty, as well as many wine roads in Croatia, Slovenia and Italy.


Tako članovi Udruge svake godine posjećuju podrume i vinogorje Fakultetskog dobra Jazbinu, a svojim stručnim putovanjima posjetili su mnoge vinske ceste Hrvatske, Slovenije i Italije.


They have also visited vineyards and cellars of Ilok, Baranja, Kutjevo, Plješivica, Ljutomer, Ormož and Ptuj, they have traveled to the Vinitalia Fair in Verona and on two occasions to Slovenian international wine fair in Gornja Radgona.


Svoja iskustva sakupljali su po vinogorjima i podrumima Iloka, Baranje, Kutjeva, Plješivice, Ljutomera, Ormoža i Ptuja. Putovalo se i u Veronu na sajam Vinitalija te u dva navrata na međunarodni slovenski sajam vina u Gornjoj Radgoni.


In addition, the association is repeatedly presented to the general public – in 2002 at the Tourism Fair in Zagreb, and at the presentation of Krapina-Zagorje county in Zagreb's Hotel Opera, while the same year, as part of the Days of Bistrica, Association for the visitors staged a tasting of wines.


Osim toga, Udruga se u nekoliko navrata predstavila u široj hrvatskoj javnosti. Bilo je to 2002. godine na Turističkom sajmu u Zagrebu, te na predstavljanju Krapinsko-zagorske županije u zagrebačkom hotelu Opera, dok je iste godine, u sklopu Bistričkih dana, Udruga za posjetitelje priredila degustaciju vina.


In 2008 at the presentation of the Municipality Marija Bistrica in show of Croatian Television - Postcards from the Croatia the association prepared wine tasting focusing on representation of wines from Marija Bistrica for all visitors and participants in programs.


Na predstavljanju općine Marija Bistrica u emisiji HRT-a – Razglednice iz Hrvatske, 2008. godine Udruga je za sve posjetitelje i učesnike programa pripremila degustaciju vina s naglaskom osobitosti našeg lokaliteta.


Red wines (Franconia, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon) were especially brought to attention.


Ovom prilikom posebno su došla do izražaja, kako svojom kvalitetom tako i osobitostima kraja, crna vina (frankovka, crni pinot, cabernet sovinjon).


Association of winemakers Marija Bistrica has not neglected the social and entertainment programs.


U radu Udruge nije zanemaren društveno zabavni život.


Since the founding of the Association the central event is a celebration of St Martin, and the ceremony marking the beginning of the work in the vineyards – St Vincent.


Od osnivanja Udruge središnja priredba je proslava Martinja, te svečano obilježavanje početka radova u vinogradima – Vincekovo.


In 2008 celebration of beginnig of work in vineyards captured on film by Croatian Television in the program - Cultural Heritage.


Svečana proslava radova u vinogorju ovjekovječena je 2008. godine filmskom snimkom HRT-a u sklopu programa – Kulturna baština.


This was the first film in Croatia that featured such ceremony.


To je ujedno i prvi filmski zapis ovakve svečanosti snimljen na prostorima Hrvatske.


Leadership of the Association is very active in the work of the County Committee of Agriculture and Economy, of which one of the priority tasks is tracing the future wine road of Zagorje.


Čelništvo Udruge vrlo je aktivno i u radu Županijskog odbora za poljoprivredu i gospodarstvo, kojemu je jedan od prioritetnih zadataka trasiranje buduće zagorske vinske ceste.


On behalf of the Such activities provide Association members with vine and help to progress in securing vineyards, etc.


U korist članova Udruge takvim radom osigurani su poticaji za lozne cjepove, napredovalo se u osiguranju vinograda i sl.


Headquarters of the Association is in Marija Bistrica, Trg Pape Ivana Pavla II 34.


Sjedište Udruge je u Mariji Bistrici, Trg Pape Ivana Pavla II broj 34.


Since the foundation of Association, the president has been Prof. Zdravko Petrinec, vice presidents have been Stjepan Muhek and Mirko Štagar, a secretary Zlatko Topolovec.


Od osnutka predsjednik je prof.dr.sc. Zdravko Petrinec, dopredsjednici dipl.ing. Stjepan Muhek i gospodin Mirko Štagar, a tajnik gospodin Zlatko Topolovec.

For the 2007-2013 period, the allocated budget amounts up to EUR 2.170 billion.


Za razdoblje 2007.-2013. godine na raspolaganju ima proračun od 2,170 milijarde €.


The target group for this programme component includes small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in the start-up and growth phase, as a means to facilitate access to financing (venture and seed capital funds, micro-loans of up to EUR 25,000, loans, guarantee schemes), promote a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, promote the use of innovative and environmentally-friendly technologies, harmonise operations with environmental protection policy and the use renewable sources of energy; improve operations through the use of information and communication systems, create clusters, and create public-private partnerships.


Ciljna skupina ovog dijela programa su mala i srednja poduzeća (MSP) u start-up fazi i u fazi razvoja, kojima se želi olakšati pristup financijskim sredstvima (fondovi rizičnog i sjemenskog kapitala, mikrokrediti do 25.000 €, zajmovi, garancijske sheme), potaknuti ih na implementaciju poduzetničke i inovativne kulture, korištenje inovativnih i ekoloških tehnologija, usklađivanje poslovanja s politikom zaštite okoliša i korištenje obnovljivih izvora energije; unaprjeđenje poslovanja upotrebom informacijskih i komunikacijskih sustava, udruživanje u klastere, sklapanje oblika javno-privatnog partnerstva.


Alongside small and medium size enterprises, the programme is intended for organizations/institutions which operate in the area of promotion, encouragement and/or support of entrepreneurship.

The programme supports investments in technological development, innovation, technology transfer and cross-border expansion of business activities through loans and guarantees; grants have been excluded for these types of activities.


Podupiru se investicije u tehnološki razvoj, inovacije, transfer tehnologije i prekogranično širenje poslovnih aktivnosti i to putem kredita i jamstva pri čemu su darovnice (grantovi) u slučaju ove aktivnosti isključeni.


Types of indirect support include guarantee schemes (guarantees), ownership stocks (shares), as well as mezzanine finance.


Tipovi indirektne podrške uključuju jamstvene sheme (jamstva), vlasničke udjele (dionice), financiranje tijekom prijelaznih perioda (mezzanine finance).


Currently there are no financial institutions within the Republic of Croatia which act as a mediator/ EIP partner in implementation of these activities.


Trenutno u Republici Hrvatskoj ne postoji financijska institucija koja je posrednik/EIP partner putem koje bi se ove aktivnosti mogle provoditi.


Croatian financial institutions interested in becoming financial mediators can apply directly with the European Investment Fund.


Hrvatske financijske institucije zainteresirane da postanu financijski posrednici mogu se prijaviti izravno Europskom investicijskom fondu.


Detailed information on how to apply is available here.
