LUDI psi i Englezi, kako kaže pjesma, idu van na popodnevno sunce.


And the business practices of England's lineal descendant, America, will have you in the office from nine in the morning to five in the evening, if not longer.


I poslovne prakse engleskog potomaka, Amerike, zadržati će vas u uredu od 9 ujutro do 5 navečer, ako ne i dulje.


Much of the world, though, prefers to take a siesta.


Veći dio svijeta preferira uzimanje odmora (siesta).


And research presented to the AAAS[1] meeting in San Diego suggests it may be right to do so.


I istraživanje predstavljeno na AAAS sastanku u gradu San Diego preporučuje kako je to ispravno za napraviti.


It has already been established that those who siesta are less likely to die of heart disease.


Već je ranije ustanovljeno kako oni koji odmaraju imaju manje vjerojatnosti za oboljeti od srčanih bolesti.


Now, Matthew Walker and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that they probably have better memory, too.


Sada su, Matthew Walker i njegove kolege s fakulteta „University of California“ u gradu Berkeley otkrili da oni također imaju i bolje pamćenje.


An afternoon nap, Dr Walker has discovered, sets the brain up for learning.


Spavanje poslije podne, otkrio je dr. Walker, priprema mozak za učenje.


The role of sleep in consolidating memories that have already been created has been understood for some time.


Uloga spavanja u konsolidaciji pamćenja koje je prethodno kreirano poznata je već neko vrijeme.


Dr Walker has been trying to extend this understanding by looking at sleep's role in preparing the brain for the formation of memories in the first place.


Dr. Walker je pokušao proširiti ovu spoznaju promatrajući ulogu spavanja u pripremanju mozga za formiranje pamćenja na prvom mjestu.


His team was interested in a specific type of memory--episodic memory, which relates to specific events, places and times.


Njegov tim se zanimao za posebni tip pamćenja – epizodno pamćenje, koje je povezano s posebnim događajima, mjestima ili vremenima.


This contrasts with procedural memory, the skills required to perform some sort of mechanical task, such as driving.


Razlikuje se od proceduralnog pamćenja, vještina potrebnih za izvođenje nekih oblika mehaničkih zadataka, poput vožnje.


The theory the researchers wanted to test was that the ability to form new episodic memories deteriorates with accrued wakefulness, and that sleep thus restores the brain's capacity for efficient learning.


Teorija koju su istražitelji željeli ispitati je bila da mogućnost formiranja novih epizodnih sjećanja opada s trajanjem budnosti te da spavanje obnavlja sposobnosti mozga za efikasno učenje.


They asked a group of 39 people to take part in two learning sessions, one at noon and one at 6pm.


Zatražili su grupu od 39 osoba da sudjeluju na dva kratka ispitivanja, jedan u podne i jedan u 18h.


On each occasion the participants tried to memorize and recall 100 combinations of pictures and names.


U oba slučaja, osobe su pokušale zapamtiti i ponoviti 100 kombinacija slika i imena.


After the first session they were assigned randomly to either a control-group, which remained awake, or a nap group, which had a 100-minutes of monitored sleep.


Nakon prvog ispitivanja, slučajno su odabrane grupa koja ostaje budna i grupa za spavanje koja će odspavati 100 minuta.


Those who remained awake throughout the day became worse at learning.


Oni koji su ostali budni preko dana postali su lošiji u učenju.


Those who napped, by contrast, actually improved their capacity to learn, doing better in the evening than they had at noon.


Oni koji su odspavali, nasuprot, poboljšali su sposobnosti za učenje, dajući bolje rezultate navečer nego u podne.


These findings support the theory that sleep is clearing the brain's short-term memory and making way for new information.


Ova otkrića podržavaju teoriju da spavanje briše kratkotrajnu memoriju mozga i stvara put za nove informacije.


It is already well-known that fact-based memories are stored temporarily in an area called the hippocampus, a structure in the centre of the brain.


Već je dobro poznato da se sjećanja temeljena na činjenicama pohranjuju povremeno u područje zvano hipokampus, struktura u središtu mozga.


But they do not stay there long.


Ali ona ne ostaju tamo dugo.


Instead, they are sent to the prefrontal cortex for longer-term storage.


Nasuprot, šalju se u prednju koru mozga za stalnu pohranu.


Electroencephalograms, which measure electrical activity in the brain, have shown that this memory- refreshing capacity is related to a specific type of sleep called Stage 2 non-REM sleep.


Elektroencefalogram, koji mjeri elektroničku aktivnost u mozgu pokazuje kako je ova sposobnost osvježavanja memorije povezana s posebnim oblikom spavanja zvanim „faza 2 ne-REM spavanja“.


The ideal nap, then, follows a cycle of between 90-100 minutes.


Idealno odmaranje traje oko 90-100 minuta.


The first 30 minutes is a light sleep that helps improve motor performance.


Prvih 30 minuta je lagano spavanje koje pomaže poboljšati motoričke funkcije.


Then comes 30 minutes of stage 2 sleep, which refreshes the hippocampus.


Zatim dolazi 30 minuta druge faze spavanja, koja osvježava hipotalamus.


After this, between 60-90 minutes into the nap, comes rapid-eye-movement, or REM, sleep, during which dreaming happens.


Nakon toga, između 60-90 minuta spavanja, dolazi REM (eng. rapid-eye-movement) spavanje tijekom kojeg se događa sanjanje.


This, research suggests, is the time when the brain makes connections between the new memories that have just been "downloaded" from the hippocampus and those that already exist--thus making new experiences relevant in a wider context.


Ovo je, istražitelji tvrde, vrijeme kada mozak stvara veze između pamćenja koje je upravo preuzeo od hipokampusa i onog koje već postoji – stvarajući tako nova iskustva bitna u širem kontekstu.


The benefits to memory of a nap, says Dr Walker, are so great that they can equal an entire night's sleep.


Prednosti spavanja za pamćenje, tvrdi dr. Walker, su tako velike da se mogu izjednačiti s cijelo-noćnim spavanjem.


He warns, however, that napping must not be done too late in the day or it will interfere with night-time sleep.


Dodatno, ne osvježava se svačija budnost odmaranjem.


The grogginess that can result from an unrefreshing siesta is termed "sleep inertia".


Slabost koja može rezultirati ne-osvježavajućim odmorom označava se kao „sleep inertia“.


This happens when the brain is woken from a deep sleep with its cells still firing at a slow rhythm and its temperature and blood flow decreased.


Ovo se događa kada se mozak probudi iz dubokog sna pa njegove stanice još imaju polagani ritam, a njegova temperatura i protok krvi su smanjeni.


Sara Mednick, from the University of California, San Diego, suggests that non-habitual nappers suffer from this more often than those who siesta regularly.


Sara Mednick, sa sveučilišta „University of California“ u gradu San Diego, tvrdi da osobe koje nisu navike odspavati pate od ovog češće nego one koje redovito uzimaju odmor.


It may be that those who awake groggy choose not to siesta in the first place.


Moguće je da ovi koji su budni odabiru ne napraviti odmor.


Perhaps, though, as in so many things, practice makes perfect.


Možda, kao i u mnogim stvarima, praksa dovodi do savršenstva.


Food preservation has been done from the ancient times, although not in the sophisticated way it is done today.


Konzerviranje namirnica poznato je od davnina, iako ne u ovako sofisticiranom obliku kao što je to danas.


The purpose of food preservation is extending the duration of the food product, in this case vegetables, i.e. preserving its original quality in order to make it available throughout the entire year and not only during the ripening period.


Cilj konzerviranja je produljiti trajnost namirnice odnosno sačuvati njenu izvornu kvalitetu, u ovom slučaju povrća, kako bi ono bilo dostupno tijekom cijele godine, a ne samo u vrijeme zrenja.


The process of food preservation in the form similar to that used today, dates back to the end of the 18th century when the French conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte, worried about his army’s nutrition, offered a cash reward to the person who would develop a reliable method of preserving food.


Proces konzerviranja namirnica u obliku sličnom danas datira s kraja 18. stoljeća kada je francuski osvajač Napoleon Bonaparte, zabrinut za prehranu svoje vojske, ponudio novčanu nagradu osobi koja razvije pouzdanu metodu očuvanja trajnosti hrane.


After 15 years of experimenting, Nicholas Appert was the person who laid the grounds for food preservation realizing that the quality of food doesn’t deteriorate if it is heated and then kept in containers which are sealed off so that there is no flow of air.


Nakon 15 godina eksperimentiranja, Nicholas Appert je bio taj koji je postavio temelje konzerviranja shvativši da se hrana ne kvari ukoliko se dovoljno zagrije, a zatim čuva u spremnicima u koje je onemogućen ulazak zraka.


Over the years to come, the largest canned products consumers were the soldiers, but as the preservation process was perfected, those products were being increasingly used in numerous households as well.


U godinama koje su slijedile najveći potrošači konzerviranih proizvoda su bili upravo vojnici, no kako se proces konzerviranja usavršavao tako su takvi proizvodi sve češće svoj put nalazili do mnogobrojnih kućanstava.


An interesting fact is that all that had taken place years before Louis Pasteur explained that the efficiency of preserving food is in the fact that heat destroys microorganism which are the primary agents causing food deterioration.


Zanimljivo je da se sve to odvijalo godinama prije nego što je Louis Pasteur objasnio da učinkovitost konzerviranja leži u činjenici da toplina uništava mikroorganizme, primarne uzročnike kvarenja hrane.


Today, canned vegetables are made through the process of pasteurization in a hermetically sealed package and the product gained this way is preserved in salt or sour liquid.


Danas se konzervirano povrće proizvodi pasterizacijom u hermetički zatvorenoj ambalaži, a dobiven proizvod se čuva u slanom ili kiselom naljevu.


The advantage of such procedure is that it doesn’t require chemical preservatives but only salt, i.e. vinegar, which have the same effect as preservatives but are natural substances.


Prednost takvog postupka je što ne zahtijeva kemijske konzervanse već kao konzervansi na prirodan način djeluju sol odnosno ocat.


Apart from contributing to the unique taste of canned vegetables, salt and vinegar have an important role in the prevention of unwanted microorganism activities.


Osim što pridonose jedinstvenom okusu konzerviranog povrća, sol i ocat imaju važnu ulogu u zaustavljanju neželjene aktivnosti mikroorganizama.


The basic principles of salt and vinegar are somewhat different but the final effect of preserving food is same.


Temeljni prinicipi djelovanja soli i octa se donekle razlikuju, no krajni učinak očuvanja trajnosti proizvoda je isti.


Namely, kitchen salt added in sufficient amount causes microorganism cell dehydration and, therefore, prevents their further activities.


Kuhinjska sol dodana u dovoljnoj količini, naime, izaziva dehidraciju stanica mikroorganizama i time onemogućuje njihovu daljnu aktivnost.


The chloride, as an integral part of salt, interferes with the microorganisms’ metabolism and it inhibits the activity of their enzymes.


Dodatno, klorid se kao sastavni dio soli upliće u metabolizam mikroorganizama i inhibira aktivnost njihovih enzima.


On the other hand, vinegar, i.e. acetic acid, acidifies the middle in which the microorganisms are located creating unfavorable conditions for their activity.


S druge strane, ocat točnije octena kiselina zakiseljava sredinu u kojoj se nalaze mikroorganizmi stvarajući nepovoljne uvjete za njihovu aktivnost.


Today’s practice in vegetable preservation is to combine vinegar and kitchen salt which ensure a high quality product with long-lasting duration and good organoleptic features.


Danas se u praksi konzerviranja povrća najčešće primjenjuje kombinacija kuhinjske soli i octa koji zajedničkim snagama osiguravaju kvalitetan proizvod postojane trajnosti i dobrih organoleptičkih svojstava.


Vegetables are an irreplaceable part of high quality and balanced nutrition.


Povrće čini nezamjenjiv dio kvalitetne i uravnotežene prehrane.


Picked at the peak of their ripeness, vegetables are not only attractive due to its appearance but due to the portion of its beneficial nutrients which is at its maximum as well.


Ubrano na vrhuncu svoje zrelosti, povrće nije samo izgledom najatraktivnije već je i udio blagotvornih nutrijenata maksimalan.


According to popular belief, fresh vegetables are always more valuable in terms of nutrition than the preserved ones.


Popularno je vjerovanje da je svježe povrće uvijek nutritivno vrijednije od procesiranog.


However, the results of numerous scientific works point to the fact that may not necessarily be true.


No, rezultati brojnih znanstvenih radova upućuju da tome ne mora biti tako.


The truth is that the first step in preservation during which vegetables are exposed to high temperatures results in significant loss of thermosensitive vitamins, especially vitamins C and B2, but the fact is that the loss of other essential nutrients is relatively small.


Istina je da prvi korak konzerviranja koji podrazumijeva izlaganje povrća visokoj temperaturi rezultira značajnim gubitkom termoosjetljivih vitamina posebice vitamina C i B2, no činjenica je da je gubitak ostalih esencijalnih nutrijenata relativno malen.


In addition to that, the content of micronutrients and dietary fibers, what is of particular significance, remains stable over the period of two years during which the product is preserved.


Dodatno, sadržaj mikronutrijenata i prehrambenih vlakana, što je osobito bitno, ostaje stabilan tijekom dvije godine čuvanja proizvoda.


That is particularly true for minerals which are known to endure thermal processing and storage.


To osobito vrijedi za minerale koji i inače bolje podnose termičku obradu i skladištenje.


A similar opinion is shared by numerous institutions as well.


Slično mišljenje djele i brojne institucije.


The FDA (Food and Drug Administration), for example, emphasizes that the heating process during preservation destroys from one third to one half of the vitamin A, C, B1 and B2 contents and that every year this product is stored, additional losses related to these vitamins occur, in the amount of 5% to 20%.


Tako primjerice FDA (Food and Drug Administration) ističe da proces zagrijavanja tijekom konzerviranja uništava trećinu do polovicu sadržaja vitamina A, C, B1 i B2 te da za svaku godinu skladištenja proizvoda dolazi do dodatnih gubitaka ovih vitamina u iznosu od 5 do 20 %.


However, the content concerning other vitamins is relatively similar in both canned and fresh vegetables.


Međutim, sadržaj ostalih vitamina je relativno sličan u konzerviranom i svježem povrću.


Fresh vegetables, namely, deteriorate quickly and the duration of the unprocessed vegetables is only a few days after which it is not recommended to consume them.


Svježe povrće se, naime, brzo kvari pa je trajnost neprocesiranog povrća tek nekoliko dana nakon čega ono postaje nepoželjno za konzumaciju.


Alongside the aspect of being unused for a longer period of time, transport and storage are the elements which mostly affect the loss of nutritive value of fresh vegetables.


Uz stajanje, transport i skladištenje su stavke koje najviše doprinose gubitku nutritivne vrijednosti svježeg povrća.


Since only the best, ripe fruit is used for preservation and the process itself takes place right after it is picked, in terms of nutrition, canned vegetables don’t significantly differ from the fresh ones.


Budući da se za konzerviranje koriste samo najbolji plodovi na vrhuncu svoje zrelosti, a sam proces se odvija ubrzo nakon branja, konzervirano povrće nutritivno ne odskače značajno od svježeg.


The importance of everyday intake of vegetables is unquestionable.


Važnost svakodnevnog unosa povrća po zdravlje je neupitna.


However, most people don’t have their own garden in which they could grow vegetables and satisfy the recommended intake throughout the entire year.


No, nažalost većina ljudi nema vlastiti vrt u kojem bi moglo uzgajati povrće kako bi zadovoljilo preporučeni unos tijekom cijele godine.


And many types of vegetables grow only in certain parts of the world during a specific time of the year what makes them available only to a smaller number of people.


Također, mnoge vrste povrća rastu tek u određenim dijelovima svijeta i to u određeno godišnje doba čineći ga dostupnim tek manjem broju ljudi.


An additional disadvantage of vegetables is their short lifetime which is only a few days.


Dodatni nedostatak svježeg povrća je kratak vijek trajanja od tek nekoliko dana.


The technology of vegetables preservation “transforms” the fruit which can easily deteriorate into a safe, tasty and stable product.


Tehnologija konzerviranja povrća „pretvara“ kvarljive plodove u siguran, ukusan i stabilan proizvod.


Canned vegetables are at our disposal throughout the entire year and in all parts of the world, not only in the areas near the places they were grown at.


Konzervirano povrće je dostupno tijekom cijele godine i to u svim dijelovima svijeta, a ne samo područjima blizu mjesta uzgoja.


An inadequate vegetables intake is a global problem.


Neadekvatan unos povrća je problem svjetskih razmjera.


The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the fruit and vegetable intake satisfies only 20-50% of the recommended daily intake.


Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija (WHO) procjenuje da unos voća i povrća zadovoljava tek 20 – 50 % preporučenog dnevnog minimalnog unosa.


Moreover, an insufficient intake of fruit and vegetables is at the sixth place of mortality risk factors and according to certain estimations, a sufficient intake of these essential food products would save 2.7 million lives a year.


Štoviše, nedovoljan unos povrća i voća se nalazi na šestom mjestu liste rizičnih čimbenika za smrtnost te se procjenjuje da bi dovoljan unos ovih neophodnih namirnica spasilo 2.7 milijuna života godišnje.


Experts agree that fruit and vegetables in any form, whether fresh, canned, frozen or in juices and other processed products, can satisfy the nutritionists’ “5 a day” recommendation which is given in order to emphasize the importance of eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day.


Stručnjaci su suglasni da voće i povrće u svim oblicima bilo da je riječ o svježem, konzerviranom, zamrznutom ili pak u sokovima i prerađevinama pogoduje zadovoljenju nutricionističkih preporuka „5 na dan“ kojom se nastoji naglasiti važnost dnevnog unosa 5 porcija voća i povrća.


Canned vegetables are a practical and tasty addition to every meal.


Konzervirano povrće predstavlja praktičan i ukusan dodatak svakom obroku.


Since it has already been cooked, it requires minimum preparation.


Budući da je ono već kuhano, zahtijeva minimalnu pripremu.


Moreover, the use of canned vegetables in the preparation of, for example, casseroles, soup or stew, reduces the time we need for cooking, saves energy and provides equal nutritive value to that of fresh vegetables.


Štoviše, upotreba konzerviranog povrća u pravljenju, primjerice, složenaca, juha ili gulaša smanjuje vrijeme pripreme i kuhanja, čuva energiju, osiguravajući istovremeno podjednaku nutritivnu vrijednost kao i svježe povrće.

Diplomatic and economic relations between Croatia and China are intensifying, with new interest of Chinese companies to invest in Croatia, which was confirmed for Nacional by sources close to the top ranks of the government.


Diplomatski i gospodarski odnosi između Hrvatske i Kine postaju sve intenzivniji, a to je rezultiralo i novim pojačanim interesom kineskih tvrtki za investiranje u Hrvatskoj, doznao je Nacional iz izvora bliskih samom vrhu Vlade.


After the Chinese Embassy in Zagreb showed interest earlier for the participation of Chinese companies in the construction of the new Zagreb Airport terminal, the Chinese government went one step further and proposed a company, the China Airport Construction Group Corporation (CACGC).


Nakon što je kinesko veleposlanstvo u Zagrebu već prije pokazalo zanimanje za sudjelovanje kineskih tvrtki u izgradnji novog terminala Zračne luke Zagreb, kineska vlada otišla je nedavno korak dalje pa je preporučila i tvrtku koja bi mogla izvoditi radove na tom projektu.


This company has participated in the construction of several airport terminals in China, and in Libya.


To je China Airport Construction Group Corporation, tvrtka koja je sudjelovala u izgradnji više terminala zračnih luka u Kini, a izvan Kine gradila je i u Libiji.


The Chinese side has also expressed its interest to participate in the financing of the new terminal on the basis of a 25-year concession.


Kineska je strana izrazila interes da sudjeluje i u financiranju izgradnje novog terminala Zračne luke Zagreb te da njime na temelju koncesije upravlja sljedećih 25 godina.


Nacional has learned from sources close to the government that an international tender is planned to be issued by year's end for the terminal construction, and that this tender will be carried out and completed in the shortest possible time period.


Nacional je iz izvora bliskih samom vrhu Vlade doznao da se do kraja godine planira ne samo raspisati međunarodni javni natječaj za izgradnju novog terminala, nego se taj natječaj u najkraćem mogućem roku namjerava i privesti kraju.


The Chinese intend to send their representatives in order to become well acquainted with the project documentation.


Kinezi namjeravaju poslati svoje predstavnike kako bi se detaljno informirali o projektnoj dokumentaciji.


The same sources have revealed to Nacional that the government will likely allow the winner of the tender to select the project design, meaning that IGH could lose this lucrative deal.


Isti izvori otkrili su Nacionalu i da će Vlada najvjerojatnije dopustiti pobjedniku tog natječaja da sam odabere prema čijem projektu će graditi novi terminal Zračne luke Zagreb.


During 2008, IGH won the urban architectural design tender with a project design developed by Velimir Neidhardt, a member of the Croatian Academy of Arts and Science, and Branko Kincl.


To zapravo znači da bi IGH mogao ostati bez tog unosnog posla. IGH je tijekom 2008. pobijedio na pozivnom urbanističko-arhitektonskom natječaju s projektom koji su za tu tvrtku izradili akademik Velimir Neidhardt i Branko Kincl.


The tender results caused quite a public stir, as IGH has been awarded a large number of substantial projects in recent years.


Rezultati natječaja izazvali su oprečne reakcije javnosti jer je IGH proteklih godina dobio brojne velike projekte.


Sceptics claimed that it was simply impossible for the work of the domestic architects, though renowned in their own right, to beat out global architecture stars such as Norman Foster, Zaha Hadid and Shigeru Ban, and even then it was often stated that this was a political decision, primarily due to the ties between Jure Radic, IGH director, and the HDZ. Now, IGH runs the risk of losing the deal, if the Chinese or other winner of the construction project tender decide to build the new, modernised Zagreb Airport according to some other design.


Skeptici su u pogledu natječaja za izgradnju novog terminala Zračne luke Zagreb tvrdili da je nemoguće da je rad domaćih uglednih arhitekata mogao biti bolji od svjetskih zvijezda poput Normana Fostera, Zahe Haddid i Shigerua Bana, pa su se već tada počele širiti priče da je i u tom slučaju prevagnula politička odluka, ponajviše zbog veze Jure Radića i HDZ-a. Sada bi se moglo dogoditi da IGH ipak ostane bez tog posla, ako bi eventualni kineski, ili neki drugi pobjednik na natječaju za izgradnju terminala odlučio graditi novu moderniziranu zagrebačku zračnu luku po nečijem drugom projektu.


"In light of the recession and the difficulty in finding large investors for strategic infrastructure project, it seems unfair to us to bind the winner of the tender to any given construction project design.


“U svjetlu recesije i teškoća prilikom pronalaženja velikih investitora za strateške infrastrukturne projekte, čini nam se nepoštenim uvjetovati pobjedniku na tom natječaju prema kojem bi projektu trebao graditi novi terminal Zračne luke Zagreb.


That's why we are inclined to let the winner choose their own favourite from among the offered designs.


Zato smo skloni ponuditi pobjedniku natječaja da sam izabere između postojećih ponuda.


We would, more or less, consider all the designs received earlier, but we would be sure to redefine the final proposal after discussions, as every proposal needs some reworking," commented a high ranking government official for Nacional.


U obzir bismo uzeli manje-više sve ranije pristigle ponude, ali bismo u zajedničkim razgovorima konačni prijedlog ponešto korigirali nakon zajedničkih razgovora, jer se na svakoj ponudi trebalo ponešto korigirati”, izjavio je za Nacional visoki dužnosnik Vlade.


The Chinese are also interested in expanding the capacities of the Port of Ploce, where construction of a new container terminal has already begun, financed by a World Bank loan.


Kinezi su zainteresirani i za sudjelovanje u proširenju kapaciteta Luke Ploče, gdje je kreditom Svjetske banke već započela izgradnja novog kontejnerskog terminala.


Representatives of the Port of Ploce believe that the Chinese company, with the assistance of the Chinese Development Bank, has a good shot at winning the tender, to be issued in late August.


Predstavnici Luke Ploče vjeruju da kineske tvrtke uz pomoć Kineske banke za razvoj imaju velike šanse pobijediti na natječaju koji bi se trebao raspisati krajem kolovoza.


The tender terms will require bidders to include equipment in the bid that can be manufactured in Croatia.


U uvjetima tog natječaja tražit će se da ponuđači moraju uključiti u ponudu opremu koja se može proizvesti u Hrvatskoj.


It is most likely that the bidder will need to use materials that are 40 percent of Croatian origin.


Najvjerojatnije će se tražiti da ponuđači moraju koristiti najmanje 40 posto opreme hrvatskog podrijetla.


Thought has also been given to a broader inclusion of Chinese companies in the expansion of the Port of Ploce, in the construction of a terminal for bulk cargo and construction of warehousing facilities.


Razmišlja se i o širem uključenju kineskih tvrtki u proširenje kapaciteta Luke Ploče - u izgradnju terminala za rasute terete te u izgradnju skladišnih prostora.


Were this to happen, this would mean a much easier entry for Chinese goods onto the regional market.


Ako bi se to dogodilo, stvorile bi se pretpostavke za lakši ulazak kineske robe na regionalno tržište.


The Port of Ploce is not the only port the Chinese are interested in.


Luka Ploče nije jedina za koju su Kinezi u Hrvatskoj zainteresirani.


At the end of April, Nacional learned that the Chinese shipping company Cosco was interested in taking out a multi-year concession for management of the Port of Rijeka.


Nacional je krajem travnja doznao da je kineska državna brodarska korporacija Cosco zainteresirana za preuzimanje višegodišnje koncesije za upravljanje Lukom Rijeka.


The Croatian government has already begun works to modernise the Port of Rijeka.


Hrvatska vlada već je započela radove na modernizaciji riječke luke.


The Rijeka Gateway project is ongoing, and worth EUR 185 million.


U tijeku je realizacija projekta Rijeka Gateway, vrijednog 185 milijuna eura.


The removal of warehouses and other non-functional structures will create 17 new hectares for the construction of urban facilities necessary for the development of the City of Rijeka.


Ondje bi se uklanjanjem skladišta i ostalih građevina koje nisu u potpunoj funkciji trebalo stvoriti novih 17 hektara za gradnju urbanih sadržaja koji su potrebni za razvoj grada Rijeke.


The most important part of the project is the construction of a new coastline for container terminals.


Najvažniji dio projekta je izgradnja novih obala kontejnerskih terminala.


The Zagreb container terminal currently has a coastline 680 metres long with a surface area of 20 hectares, and should be gradually renovated in two phases.


Kontejnerski terminal Zagrebačko pristanište ima obalu dugačku 680 metara i 20 hektara površine, a trebao bi se postupno obnoviti u dvije faze.


The existing Brajdica terminal will also be lengthened, and will have a coastline more than 600 metres long.


Produžava se i postojeći terminal Brajdica, koji će na kraju također imati obalni dio duži od 600 metara.


The newly constructed container storage facility should be financed through the public-private partnership model.


Novoizgrađeno skladište kontejnera trebalo bi se financirati kroz model javno-privatnog partnerstva.


A series of other works are also planned for the Port of Rijeka.


U Luci Rijeka provest će se i niz drugih radova.


The strategic partner for part of the Rijeka Gateway project, the Jadranska vrata container terminal, will be selected in the last quarter of 2010.


U zadnjem kvartalu 2010. odabrat će se i strateški partner u okviru jednog dijela projekta Rijeka Gateway, koji se tiče kontejnerskog terminala Jadranska vrata d.d.


A short-list of potential strategic partners was made in mid May.


Sredinom svibnja napravljena je tzv. short-lista potencijalnih strateških partnera.


The list includes APM Terminals from Rotterdam, Dubai Ports World from London, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG from Hamburg, International Container Services Inc. from Manila and Group TCB from Barcelona.


Ona uključuje APM Terminals iz Rotterdama, Dubai Ports World iz Londona, Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG iz Hamburga, International Container Services Inc. iz Manile i Group TCB iz Barcelone.


The complex works to modernize the Port of Rijeka require substantial financial resources.


Kompleksni radovi na osuvremenjivanju Luke Rijeka traže i znatna financijska sredstva.


It is possible that this will also be a topic of conversation between Finance Minister Ivan Suker and his Chinese hosts next week.


Moguće je da će o tome tijekom tekućeg tjedna sa svojim kineskim domaćinima razgovarati ministar financija Ivan Šuker.


Last week, he met with a delegation of the Chinese Embassy to Croatia to discuss the final preparations for his visit to China this week.


Njega je prošli tjedan posjetilo izaslanstvo kineske ambasade u Zagrebu. Razgovaralo se o završnoj pripremi njegova ovotjednog boravka u Kini.


Short briefly commented for Nacional, saying that he has a very intensive meeting schedule in China, but did not want to say what would be discussed in the meetings.


Šuker je u kratkom razgovoru za Nacional izjavio da u Kini ima vrlo intenzivan ritam sastanaka, ali nije htio reći što će se na tim sastancima događati i o čemu će se na njima razgovarati.


"I don't think it would be fair to my Chinese partners to disclose what we will be discussing.


“Mislim da ne bi bilo korektno prema mojim sugovornicima kada bih unaprijed govorio o temama naših razgovora.


However, I will be meeting with a number of high ranking officials of the Chinese governments, and prominent bankers.


Međutim, susrest ću se s nizom visokih dužnosnika kineske vlade, kao i s najistaknutijim bankarima.


I am not going to China to look for new loans for the Croatian government.


U Kinu ne idem tražiti nove kredite za nova zaduženja hrvatske vlade.


The reasons for my trip are quite different," announced Minister Suker for Nacional.


Razlozi za moj posjet su posve drukčiji”, izjavio je za Nacional Ivan Šuker.


Croatia fits in with China's long-term international financing strategy.


Hrvatska se posve uklapa u dugogodišnju kinesku strategiju međunarodnih ulaganja.


Considering that China achieves hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign trade surplus every year, the Chinese authorities have long been investing that money in projects in foreign countries.


Kako Kina godišnje ostvaruje stotine milijardi dolara vanjskotrgovinskog suficita, kineske vlasti već dugo dio tog novca nastoje uložiti u projekte u stranim državama.


The Chinese are quite conservative in their investments, primarily investing in energy and infrastructure projects, usually in poorly developed African, Asian and South American countries.


U tim se investicijama Kinezi uglavnom ponašanju konzervativno i ulažu većinom u energetske i infrastrukturne projekte, mahom u slabije razvijenim afričkim, azijskim i južnoameričkim državama.


There are some limited cases of Chinese investments in developed countries, though Chinese companies have been banned from investing in the infrastructure of EU Member States and the US on many occasions, usually out of political reasons.


Postoje i ograničeni slučajevi kineskih ulaganja u razvijenijim državama, a iz političkih razloga kineskim je tvrtkama u više navrata branjeno da ulažu u infrastrukturu država EU ili SAD-a.


That is why the Chinese have decided to invest in Eastern European countries.


Zato su se kineske vlasti odlučile investirati u istočnoeuropske zemlje.


These countries require foreign investments for future development that western investors are not always ready to finance.


Tim su zemljama za budući razvoj potrebne strane investicije koje zapadni ulagači nisu uvijek spremni financirati.


This opens the door to Chinese investments, which later secures China with excellent channels to place Chinese goods once those countries become members of the EU. Croatia is in such a position, due to its geographical position on the Adriatic Sea, upcoming entry into EU membership and relatively well developed transport infrastructure, and can therefore be interesting to the Chinese.


To otvara vrata kineskim ulagačima, koji nakon tih ulaganja osiguravaju Kini kvalitetnije kanale za plasman kineske robe jednom kada te države postanu njene članice. U sličnoj je situaciji i Hrvatska, koja zbog svog geografskog položaja na Jadranskom moru, izvjesnog skorog pristupa EU i relativno razvijene prometne infrastrukture Kini može biti zanimljivo investicijsko odredište.


If they take control over key Croatian ports and railway infrastructure, China could create a very effective logistical route for the placement of its goods on the western European markets.


Ako bi preuzela kontrolu nad ključnim hrvatskim lukama i željezničkom infrastrukturom, Kina bi mogla formirati vrlo učinkovit logistički pravac za plasman svoje robe na tržišta zapadne Europe.


In 2009, the Croatian-Chinese economic relations recorded an enormous Croatian deficit.


Hrvatsko-kineski gospodarski odnosi u 2009. obilježeni su ogromnim hrvatskim deficitom.


Last year, Croatia exports goods worth US$ 41m to China, while importing goods worth US$ 1.44bn from China.


Hrvatska je u Kinu prošle godine izvezla robe u vrijednosti 41 milijun američkih dolara, a uvezla robe u vrijednosti 1,44 milijarde američkih dolara.


In the high ranking official contacts to date, the Chinese side has agreed that such an uneven balance could be potentially harmful to the future relations of the two countries.


I u dosadašnjim visokim službenim kontaktima kineska strana složila se s time da je takav nesrazmjer dugoročno potencijalno štetan za odnose dviju zemalja.


Therefore, the Chinese have explicitly asked Croatia to offer some large infrastructure projects to the Chinese contractors and financiers.


Zato su Kinezi od Hrvatske izričito tražili da Hrvatska ponudi neke veće, infrastrukturne projekte kineskim izvođačima i financijerima.


The government's initial reaction was not positive, but things have started to change.


Vlada isprva nije reagirala najprimjerenije, ali se to počelo mijenjati.


When Chinese President Hu Jintao visited Croatia last year, some claimed that the Croatian government did not offer the large group of Chinese businessmen a single concrete project.


Kada je prošle godine kineski predsjednik Hu Jintao posjetio Hrvatsku, tvrdilo se da hrvatska vlada nije brojnoj skupini kineskih gospodarstvenika ponudila ni jedan konkretan projekt.


However, this mistake was quickly rectified in March by Foreign Minister Gordan Jandrokovic during his visit to China.


Taj je propust u ožujku tijekom svog posjeta Kini počeo ispravljati ministar vanjskih poslova Gordan Jandroković.


He offered the Chinese investments into the Croatian ports and other infrastructure projects, such as railways.


On je Kinezima ponudio ulaganja u hrvatske luke i druge infrastrukturne projekte poput željeznica.


However, the positive momentum in the bilateral relations has still not been optimally used in certain areas.


Međutim, na nekim se područjima još nisu optimalno iskoristili pozitivni momenti u odnosima dviju zemalja.


Even though the first concrete Chinese offers have surfaced, in some areas, things haven't moved an inch, due to the slowness of the Croatian administration.


Iako su se već počele javljati prve konkretne kineske ponude, na nekim područjima praktično se još nije pomaklo s početne točke. To se dogodilo zbog kašnjenja hrvatske administracije.


For example, there is Chinese interest for the construction of the railway line Rijeka-Zagreb-Botovo, but the project has not yet been developed to the point where concrete negotiations can begin.


Primjerice, postoji načelan kineski interes i za gradnju nizinske pruge Rijeka - Zagreb - Botovo, ali hrvatska strana nije taj projekt razradila dovoljno da se pristupi konkretnim pregovorima.


It is assessed that China will willing to invest up to EUR 10bn in Croatia.


Procjenjuje se da je Kina u Hrvatsku spremna investirati čak i do deset milijardi eura.


However, the key issue is just how much of this money Croatia will succeed in bringing in, given the slow reactions and incompetence of the administration.


Međutim, ključno je pitanje koliko će od tog novca Hrvatska propustiti privući zbog tromosti i nesposobnosti vlastite administracije.

This program has helped me raise the level of self-awareness and self-confidence, both as an entrepreneur and as a person.


Ovaj studij mi je pomogao podići razinu samosvjesti i samopouzdanja, kao poduzetniku i kao osobi.


I have attained a great deal of new knowledge, met new friends, learned that it is crucial to set concrete business goal and that achievement of those goals is measurable.


Stekao sam mnoštvo novih znanja, upoznao nove prijatelje, naučio sam da treba postavljati konkretne poslovne ciljeve te da je ostvarenje tih ciljeva mjerljivo.


I am very satisfied with the abundance of eminent local and foreign experts who teach at the program and the ability of professor Singer and her team to translate recent happenings and knowledge into lectures.


Vrlo sam zadovoljan mnoštvom eminentnih domaćih i stranih stručnjaka koji nam predaju i sposobnošću profesorice Singer i njenog tima da recentna zbivanja i znanja pretoči u predavanja.


Courses at this program are quite demanding, the emphasis is on team work and appreciation of opinion of other people.


Programi na ovom studiju su dosta zahtjevni, naglasak je prije svega na timskom radu i uvažavanju tuđih mišljenja.


This program teaches us to think in a completely different way.


Ovaj studij nas uči razmišljati na jedan potpuno drugačiji način.


To be honest, I have had my doubts in the beginning on how could the knowledge from this program be used in everyday business of a small family company like mine, but I must admit that I have changed my approach to business thanking to this program.


Iskreno, u početku sam bio sumnjičav koliko su znanja sa ovog studija primjenjiva u svakodnevnom poslovanju male obiteljske tvrtke poput moje, ali moram priznati kako sam zahvaljujući ovom studiju promijenio svoj dosadašnji pristup poslu.


I have chosen this program because it is somewhat "rebellious" and it doesn't pursue conventional educational approaches.


Odabrao sam upravo ovaj studij, jer je pomalo “buntovnički” i ne slijedi konvencionalane obrazovne pristupe.


Here the professors are not kept on a high pedestal; the students are in the first place.


Ovdje profesori nisu visoko na pijedestalu, već su studenti na prvom mjestu.


The town of Hvar is proud of its artheritage.


Grad Hvar ponosan je na svoje umjetničko naslijeđe.


The picturesque ambience of this island town with a millennium-long history and rich culture has a special charm to which all artists gladly respond.


Slikovit ambijent ovog otočkog grada tisućljetne povijesti i bogate kulture daje posebnu čar kojoj se svi umjetnici s radošću odazivaju.


This is the reason why, during summer months, Hvar hosts numerous theater troupes, musicians and folklore ensembles from Croatia and abroad.


To je razlog zbog kojeg je Hvar tijekom ljetnih mjeseci domaćin mnogim kazališnim skupinama, glazbenicima i folklornim sastavima iz Hrvatske i inozemstva.


A diverse cultural program within the Hvar Summer Events will enrich the days spent under the bright sky of this sunny island for many visitors.


Raznovrstan kulturni program Hvarskih ljetnih priredbi brojnim hvarskim gostima obogaćuje dane provedene pod vedrim nebom sunčanoga otoka.


The island of Susak, an island full of natural and cultural attractions, recalls the days when as much as 95 % of the island surface was covered with grape-vines.


Otok Susak, otok pun prirodnih i kulturoloških znamenitosti, pamti dane kad je čak 95 % površine otoka bilo pokriveno vinovom lozom.


Today, this is no longer a "floating vineyard", but it is still an island with its autochthonous black grape sorts Susac and Sušćan crni and the sort of unknown origin, but cultivated from times immemorial on this island - Trojišćina (Uva di Troia), whose grapes are used to produce the homonymous rosè wine, of extraordinary quality.


Danas to više nije "plivajući vinograd", ali je i dalje otok sa svojim autohtonim sortama crnog grožđa Susac i Sušćan crni i sortom, nepoznatog podrijetla, ali koja se od pamtivijeka uzgaja na ovom otoku - Trojišćina (Uva di Troia) iz čijeg se grožđa na otoku proizvodi istoimeno ružičasto vino, izuzetne kakvoće.


The famous German actress Tilla Durieux (née Otillia Godefroy, 1880-1971) gathered a large collection of various artistic artifacts, mostly during the first three decades of the 20th century.


Poznata njemačka glumica Tilla Durieux (rođ. Otillia Godefroy, 1880. - 1971.) sakupila je veliku zbirku različitih umjetničkih predmeta, većinom tijekom prva tri desetljeća XX. stoljeća.


After Hitler had risen to power in Germany, she moved to Zagreb (in 1934), where she lived until 1952 when she moved to Berlin. Eleven years after Tilla's death, her heir Mrs.


Nakon što je Hitler došao na vlast u Njemačkoj preselila je u Zagreb (1934.), gdje je živjela do godine 1952. kada je odselila u Berlin.


The ceremony took place in the building of the Croatian parliament, and Mrs. Danhoff concluded it with the words: She (Tilla Durieux) loved Zagreb which was her town too during all these years, and she remained attached to it permanently.


Jedanaest godina nakon Tilline smrti njena nasljednica gospođa Erika Danhoff je u zgradi Sabora potpisala povelju o darivanju djela zbirke gradu Zagrebu, a ceremoniju je zaključila riječima "voljela je Zagreb, koji je bio i njezin grad kroz tolike godine i uz koji je i kasnije ostala trajno vezana".


There are 19 artifacts of the former Tilla Durieux collection today in possession of the city of Zagreb.


U vlasništvu grada Zagreba danas se nalazi 19 predmeta nekadašnje Tilline zbirke.


The curator Slavko Šterk is placed in charge of the artifacts.

MGZ 4759).


The company Centre for Combined Transport of Zagreb (CKT Zagreb), in which future Croatian justice minister Drazen Bosnjakovic holds an ownership stake, earned some 42 million kuna over the past two years on jobs it was awarded by Plinacro, a state-owned gas distribution firm in which Bosnjakovic serves as vice-president of the supervisory board.


Tvrtka Centar za kombinirani transport Zagreb, u kojoj vlasnički udjel posjeduje i budući hrvatski ministar pravosuđa Dražen Bošnjaković, tijekom protekle dvije godine zaradila je oko 42 milijuna kuna na poslovima koje joj je dodijelio Plinacro, državna kompanija za distribuciju plina u kojoj Bošnjaković obnaša dužnost potpredsjednika Nadzornog odbora.


Investigators with the State Attorney's Office and USKOK (Office for the Prevention of Corruption and Organized Crime) discovered this in the frame of an investigation, ongoing for weeks now at Plinacro, into alleged violations of the law in its affairs with the Fimi-media marketing company.


Do tih saznanja došli su istražitelji Državnog odvjetništva i USKOK-a u sklopu istrage o navodnim nelegalnostima u poslovanju s marketinškom agencijom Fimi-media koju već tjednima provode u Plinacru.


So far, Bosnjakovic has only been one of the witnesses in the investigation, but given the new information it could turn out that he himself becomes a target of the investigation.


U toj istrazi Bošnjaković je dosad figurirao tek kao jedan od svjedoka, no s obzirom na nove informacije, moglo bi se dogoditi da i on sam postane predmet istrage.


Based on information Nacional has, the State Attorney's Office could soon launch an investigation that would look into whether Bosnjakovic used his position at Plinacro to favour and secure contracts for a company in which he is a shareholder.


Naime, prema Nacionalovim informacijama, DORH bi uskoro mogao pokrenuti istražni postupak u kojem bi se trebalo utvrditi je li Bošnjaković iskoristio svoju poziciju u Plinacru da bi pogodovao i osigurao poslove tvrtki u kojoj posjeduje vlasnički udjel.


The investigation could also be widened if currently unconfirmed information that the same company also works with HEP, another state-owned firm in which Bosnjakovic serves as a member of the supervisory board, is verified.


Također, istraga bi mogla biti proširena ako se potvrde zasad još uvijek neslužbene informacije kako ista tvrtka surađuje i s HEP-om, još jednom državnom kompanijom u kojoj je Bošnjaković član Nadzornog odbora.


In this context it is clear how the entire affair could prove to be very embarrassing for Drazen Bosnjakovic, who has been tapped to replace Ivan Simonovic at the post of justice minister in a few months time.


U tom kontekstu jasno je kako bi se cijeli slučaj mogao pokazati vrlo neugodnim za Dražena Bošnjakovića, koji bi kroz nekoliko mjeseci trebao zamijeniti Ivana Šimonovića na poziciji ministra pravosuđa.


And while he owns only a minority stake of 2 percent of the company in question, duly registered in his declaration of assets, there is no doubt that his position in Plinacro represents a significant conflict of interest.


Iako on u spornoj tvrtki posjeduje tek manjinski vlasnički udjel od 2 posto, koji je uredno naveden u njegovoj imovinskoj kartici, izvjesno je kako njegova pozicija u Plinacru nesporno predstavlja značajan sukob interesa.


According to his declaration of assets Bosnjakovic and his wife purchased the ownership stake in CKT Zagreb in 1993.


Vlasnički udjel u tvrtki Centar za kombinirani transport Zagreb, prema informacijama navedenim u njegovoj imovinskoj kartici, Bošnjaković je zajedno sa svojom suprugom kupio 1993. godine.


They bought 180 shares, a 2 percent stake in the company's equity capital.


Radi se o 180 dionica koje predstavljaju 2 posto temeljnog kapitala tvrtke.


It is unclear what the price of these shares was, as differing data is cited in two parts of the declaration of assets, so that in one version the shares were paid 10 thousand euro, and in another version twice as much.


Nejasno je kolika je bila cijena tih dionica, jer su na dva mjesta u imovinskoj kartici navedeni različiti podaci, pa su prema jednoj verziji dionice plaćene 10 tisuća eura, a prema drugoj dvostruko više.


But, regardless of the price, there is no doubt that it was a good investment given that the Centre for Combined Transport of Zagreb has over the past fifteen years grown into one of the most successful logistics companies in this part of Europe.


Ipak, bez obzira na cijenu, nema sumnje kako se radilo o dobrom ulaganju, budući da je Centar za kombinirani transport Zagreb u proteklih petnaestak godina izrastao u jednu od najuspješnijih logističkih tvrtki u ovom dijelu Europe.


The company is specialised in international freight forwarding and combined transport by rail and road, oriented towards industry, in particular the oil and gas sectors.


Tvrtka je specijalizirana za poslove međunarodnog otpremništva, te kombiniranog prijevoza željeznicom i cestom, s orijentacijom prema industriji, naročito naftnoj i plinskoj.


Just over the past two years CKT Zagreb has earned revenues of 650 million kuna and 12 million kuna in profits.


Samo tijekom protekle dvije godina CKTZ je ostvario oko 650 milijuna kuna prihoda i 12 milijuna kuna dobiti.


And while the company's entire ownership structure is not publicly known, the word is that the reticent businessman Ivan Stih, who serves as the president of the firm's supervisory board, holds the majority stake.


Iako cjelokupna vlasnička struktura tvrtke nije poznata javnosti, smatra se kako je većinski vlasnik samozatajni poduzetnik Ivan Štih, koji obnaša dužnost predsjednika Nadzornog odbora kompanije.


And it was to him, in fact, that Bosnjakovic transferred his shareholder management rights following his appointment to the post of State Secretary at the Justice Ministry.


Upravo na njega je Bošnjaković prenio pravo upravljanja svojim dionicama nakon što je imenovan državnim tajnikom u Ministarstvu pravosuđa.


But, although he does not formally manage his shares, Bosnjakovic remains their owner, i.e. a stakeholder in the company.


Ipak, iako formalno ne upravlja svojim dionicama, Bošnjaković je i dalje njihov vlasnik, odnosno djelomični vlasnik poduzeća.


On the other hand, he was appointed to the supervisory board of Plinacro in 2008 by a decision of Government, i.e. of the Plinacro general assembly, whose sole member is Minister of Environmental Protection, Physical Planning and Construction, Marina Matulovic-Dropulic.


S druge strane, on je 2008. godine odlukom Vlade, odnosno Glavne skupštine Plinacra, čiji je jedini član ministrica zaštite okoliša, prostornog uređenja i graditeljstva Marina Matulović-Dropulić, imenovan u Nadzorni odbor Plinacra.


He thereby gained the possibility of exercising direct control and of indirectly approving contracts worth millions that the state-owned firm closed with the company in which he was a minority stakeholder.


Na taj način stekao je mogućnost da izravno kontrolira i indirektno daje odobrenje na milijunske poslove koje je ta državna kompanija sklapala s tvrtkom čiji je manjinski vlasnik.


At issue concretely are for the most part contracts to transport imported steel pipes to various locations across Croatia at which Plinacro is building new gas pipelines.


Konkretno radilo se uglavnom o poslovima transporta čeličnih cijevi iz inozemstva na razne lokacije diljem Hrvatske gdje Plinacro gradi nove plinovode.


The total value of the contracts over the past two years is about 42 million kuna, and given that this is a significant sum Bosnjakovic can hardly claim that he was not informed of the business done between Plinacro and CKT Zagreb.


Ukupna vrijednost poslova tijekom posljednje dvije godine iznosi oko 42 milijuna kuna, a budući da se radi o značajnoj svoti Bošnjaković teško može tvrditi kako nije bio upoznat s poslovnom suradnjom Plinacra i CKTZ-a.


What is more, it is to be presumed that he, as a member of the supervisory board, on several occasions gave his opinion on the reports submitted by management in which this business relationship was cited.


Dapače, može se pretpostaviti kako je kao član Nadzornog odbora u više navrata i davao svoje mišljenje o izvještajima Uprave u kojima se taj poslovni odnos spominjao.


That is why it is to be expected that the investigation will endeavour to ascertain whether Bosnjakovic in any way used his position to favour CKT Zagreb, i.e. whether Plinacro awarded the contracts to the company in line with existing legislation.


Zbog toga se može očekivati da će se u sklopu istrage pokušati utvrditi je li Bošnjaković na bilo koji način iskoristio svoju poziciju kako bi pogodovao CKTZ-u, odnosno jesu li poslovi toj tvrtki u Plinacru dodijeljeni u skladu s važećom zakonskom regulativom.


On the other hand, regardless of the outcome of the investigation, Bosnjakovic will be hard pressed to defend himself from accusations that he was in a significant conflict of interest.


S druge strane, bez obzira na ishod te istrage, sam Bošnjaković teško će se moći obraniti od optužbi kako je bio u značajnom sukobu interesa.


What is more, according to conflict of interest legislation the custodian of a state official's shares, in this case Stih, was obliged to notify Parliament's special conflict of interest commission before concluding every contract with Plinacro and seek its opinion.


Dapače, sukladno Zakonu o sprečavanju sukoba interesa, skrbnik dionica dužnosnika, u ovom slučaju Štih, prije svakog posla s Plinacrom morao je obavijestiti Saborsko povjerenstvo za sprečavanje sukoba interesa i zatražiti njegovo mišljenje.


If it established that these deals were concluded without notifying the commission, Bosnjakovic's responsibility will be undeniably established.


Utvrdi li se da su se poslovi sklapali bez da je obaviješteno Povjerenstvo, Bošnjakovićeva odgovornost bit će nesporna.


He will also have to explain why he accepted a post on the supervisory board of a state-owned firm that is a major partner of a company he is an owner of, because as a lawyer and a state secretary at the Justice Ministry he must have known that his engagement in Plinacro was legally questionable.


Također, morat će objasniti zašto je prihvatio poziciju u Nadzornom odboru državne kompanije koja je značajan partner tvrtke čiji je vlasnik, jer je kao pravnik i državni tajnik u Ministarstvu pravosuđa morao znati da je njegov angažman u Plinacru zakonski upitan.


Had he done so, Bosnjakovic would have avoided a conflict of interest, and the move would also have been a logical one, because it is hard to fathom based on what grounds he was ever, as State Secretary for Justice, appointed to the supervisory board of an energy company like Plinacro.


Da je to učinio, Bošnjaković bi izbjegao sukob interesa, a takav potez bio bi i logičan, jer je teško shvatiti po kojoj je uopće osnovi on, kao državni tajnik za pravosuđe, postavljen u Nadzorni odbor eneregetske kompanije kao što je Plinacro.


Besides at Plinacro, Bosnjakovic is also a member of the supervisory board of electric power authority HEP, and it is not to hard to see that this 49-year-old lawyer from Ivanic Grad has made himself one of the most powerful figures on the Croatian energy scene.


Osim Plinacra, Bošnjaković je i član Nadzornog odbora HEP-a, pa nije teško zaključiti kako se taj 49-godišnji pravnik iz Ivanić Grada tijekom protekle dvije godine nametnuo kao jedan od najmoćnijih ljudi u hrvatskoj energetici.


Bosnjakovic's intensive political rise started in 2008 when he was appointed State Secretary at the Ministry of Justice during Ana Lovrin's term as Minister.


Bošnjakovićev intenzivni politički uspon počeo je 2008. godine, kad je imenovan državnim tajnikom u Ministarstvu pravosuđa, za ministarskog mandata Ane Lovrin.


Prior to that, Bosnjakovic spent four years as a Member of Parliament for the HDZ (Croatian Democratic Union), and given his profession and the fact that he had many years of work experience as a lawyer, he quickly gained affirmation as one of the HDZ's leading legal and constitutional experts.


Prije toga, Bošnajaković je proveo četiri godine kao HDZ-ov saborski zastupnik, a s obzirom na svoju struku i činjenicu da je imao višegodišnje radno iskustvo u odvjetništvu, brzo se afirmirao kao jedan od HDZ-ovih vodećih stručnjaka za zakonsku i ustavnu problematiku.


Only a month after being appointed State Secretary, Bosnjakovic was appointed by Government to fill one of the five seats on a commission that was to have led the negotiations with Hungarian-based oil company MOL on a new shareholder's agreement at the Croatian oil company INA. The commission stopped meeting after a few session - the negotiations were entirely taken over by former Deputy Prime Minister Damir Polancec - but the testimony of its members, including that of Bosnjakovic, could prove crucial in the investigation into possible lawbreaking in the second round of the privatisation of INA.


Tek mjesec dana nakon što je imenovan državnim tajnikom Bošnjaković je odlukom Vlade postavljen za jednog od pet članova Povjerenstva koje se trebalo baviti pregovorima s mađarskim MOL-om oko novog dioničarskog ugovora o upravljanju Inom. To povjerenstvo prestalo se sastajati nakon nekoliko sastanaka, pregovore je potpuno preuzeo bivši potpredsjednik Vlade Damir Polančec, no svjedočanstva članova, među kojima i Bošnjakovića, mogla bi se pokazati ključnima u istrazi o mogućim nelegalnostima u drguom krugu privatizacije Ine.


Six months later Bosnjakovic was appointed to the Plinacro supervisory board.


Šest mjeseci kasnije Bošnjaković je postavljen i na poziciju člana Nadzornog odbora Plinacra.


He replaced Leo Begovic, State Secretary at the Economy Ministry at the post, which at the time was seen by experts as a big surprise, as it was customary that the Economy Ministry control the operations of energy companies.


Na toj poziciji zamijenio je državnog tajnika u Ministarstvu gospodarstva Lea Begovića, što je tada u stručnim krugovima protumačeno kao veliko iznenađenje, jer je uobičajno da upravo Ministarstvo gospodarstva kontrolira poslovanje energetskih kompanija.


What is more, information surfaced behind the scenes that Plinacro was one of the top clients of Bosnjakovic's legal office in Ivanic Grad, and that he was well informed about the company's operations and a personal friend of then top man at Plinacro, Branko Radosevic.


Dapače, u kuloarima su se tada pojavile informacije kako je Plinacro bio jedan od najznačajnijih klijenata Bošnjakovićeva odvjetničkog ureda u Ivanić Gradu, te je dobro upoznat s poslovanjem kompanije i osobni prijatelj s tadašnjim čelnim čovjekom Uprave Plinacra Brankom Radoševićem.


But it was not long before Bosnjakovic and the other members of the supervisory board decided to sack Radosevic, who is currently under investigation by USKOK for contracts worth millions that he, under the veil of trade secrets, awarded to the Fimi-media marketing firm in direct deals without public tenders.


Ipak, uskoro je Bošnjaković s ostalim članovima Nadzornog odbora donio odluku o smjeni Radoševića. Danas je Radošević pod istragom USKOK-a zbog milijunskih poslova koje je, pod krinkom poslovne tajne, direktnom pogodbom dodijelio marketinškoj agenciji Fimi-mediji, a svjedok u tom postupku mogao bi biti i Bošnjaković.


Bosnjakovic could be a witness in the judicial proceedings.


Njegov uspon u vrh hrvatskih državnih energetskih poduzeća završio je u listopadu prošle godine, kad je imenovan u Nadzorni odbor HEP-a.


His rise to the top of the Croatian energy sector was completed in October of last year when he was appointed to the supervisory board of electric power authority HEP. This happened after the sacking of the company's management under Ivan Mravak, who was recently accused for millions in losses in illicit deals, and Bosnjakovic may wind up being exempt from testifying in the frame of the criminal investigation.


To se dogodilo nakon što je smijenjena Uprava tvrtke na čelu s Ivanom Mravkom, nedavno optuženim za milijunske gubitke u nelegalnom poslovanju, pa bi tu Bošnjaković na kraju mogao biti izuzet od svjedočenja u sklopu kriminalističke istrage.


But along with the fact that he may appear as a witness in court in two major corruption cases, evidence that he is in a conflict of interest is a major blow to Bosnjakovic's ambitions to succeed Ivan Simonovic at the post of Justice Minister.


Ipak, uz činjenicu da bi se kao svjedok mogao pojaviti u dva krupna korupcijska sudska procesa, indicije o tome kako se nalazi u nezakonitom sukobu interesa predstavljaju značajan udarac Bošnjakovićevim ambicijama da naslijedi Ivana Šimonovića na poziciji ministra pravosuđa.


The post is, namely, considered key in Croatian Government's intention to successfully wind up the accession negotiations with the European Union in the first quarter of next year.


Naime, ta pozicija smatra se ključnom u namjeri hrvatske vlade da u prvom tromjesečju sljedeće godine uspješno završi pretpristupne pregovore s Europskom unijom.


The key condition for the completion of the negotiations in the chapter on the judiciary will be the evaluation of the member states of the European Union that Croatia is leading a successful war on corruption.


Ključni uvjet završetka pregovora u poglavlju pravosuđe bit će ocjena država Europske unije kako Hrvatska vodi uspješnu borbu protiv korupcije.


It is hard to imagine this struggle being presented in Europe by a man facing allegations of a conflict of interest, and it is certain that Bosnjakovic, if the allegations are shown to be grounded, will lack the credibility to take on the ministerial appointment.


Teško je zamisliti da bi takvu borbu u Europi mogao prezentirati čovjek koji je suočen s optužbama za sukob interesa, pa je zato izvjesno kako Bošnjaković, pokažu li se optužbe utemeljenima, neće imati dovoljno vjerodostojnosti da preuzme ministarsku poziciju.


Given that there are not many lining up to take on the post it would certainly not suit Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor if things turn out that way at this juncture.


Takav razvoj događaja sigurno u ovom trenutku ne odgovara premijerki Jadranki Kosor, s obzirom na to da nema mnogo kandidata koji bi željeli preuzeti tu dužnost.


The reason is understandable, as the length of the mandate is limited to the year and a half before the elections for Parliament, and the fact that this period if rife with hazards.


Razlog je razumljiv, trajanje madata ograničeno je na godinu i pol dana do parlamentarnih izbora, a u tom periodu postoji puno opasnosti.


The new minister risks being fingered as the person to blame if the negotiations with the EU slow down, while on the other hand, there is the danger that the credit for success would go to the former minister, Simonovic.


Novi ministar riskira da, budu li pregovori s EU usporeni, on bude označen krivcem za takav epilog, dok s druge strane u slučaju uspjeha postoji opasnost da zasluge budu dodijeljene bivšem ministru Šimonoviću.


In a nutshell, the post is all but appealing, with little to gain and plenty to lose, and it comes then as no surprise that there are not many pretenders to the post in the ruling coalition.


Ukratko, radi se o neprivlačnoj poziciji, na kojoj se može malo toga dobiti, a mnogo izgubiti, pa nije ni čudo da unutar vladajuće koalicije nema previše kandidata za nju.


In these circumstances Prime Minister Kosor, based on the recommendation of former Minister Simonovic, has opted for Bosnjakovic, counting on his experience at the Ministry, and the fact that he has spent almost his entire career in the judiciary.


U takvim okolnostima premijerka Kosor se, na temelju preporuke bivšeg ministra Šimonovića, odlučila za Bošnjakovića računajući na njegovo iskustvo u Ministarstvu, te činjenicu da gotovo cijeli radni vijek radi u pravosuđu.


It was also felt that the fact that he has a relatively low public profile could be his advantage, given that he is not burdened by any skeletons in his closet.


Također, smatralo se kako bi to što je relativno nepoznat u javnosti mogla biti njegova prednost, s obzirom na to da je neopterećen bilo kakvim aferama iz prošlosti.


But the revelations concerning the operations of his company with Plinacro change this significantly and Drazen Bosnjakovic might find himself dismissed from the post of Justice Minister before even being officially appointed to it.


Ipak, otkriće o poslovanju njegove tvrtke s Plinacrom znatno mijenja tu činjenicu, pa bi Dražen Bošnjaković na kraju mogao biti smijenjen s pozicije ministra pravosuđa i prije nego što je službeno imenovan.

ELENA – The European Local Energy Assistance Facility is an initiative which, financed through the Intelligent Energy Europe programme, finances technical assistance for local and regional government in preparing projects in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency.


ELENA - Europski instrument za lokalnu energetsku podršku (eng. The European Local Energy Assistance facility) je inicijativa kojom se, koristeći sredstva programa Inteligentna energija u Europi, financira tehnička pomoć lokalnoj i regionalnoj samoupravi na području pripreme projekata obnovljive energije i energetske učinkovitosti.


This is a new instrument which was jointly established by the European Commission and European Investment Bank (EIB).


Radi se o novom instrumentu bespovratne pomoći koju su zajednički uspostavile Europska komisija i Europska Investicijska banka (EIB).


The goal of the ELENA initiative is to assist local and regional government units in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources investments by providing technical assistance necessary for the preparation of project documentation to prepare sustainable energy and energy efficiency investments for financing by the European Investment Bank or other financial institutions.


Cilj ELENA inicijative je pomoći jedinicama lokalne i regionalne samouprave da investiraju u energetsku učinkovitost i obnovljivu energiju na način da im se pruži tehnička pomoć potrebna za pripremu cjelokupne projektne dokumentacije kako bi investicijski projekti koji se odnose na održive izvore energije i energetsku učinkovitost bili spremni za financiranje od strane Europske investicijske banke ili drugih financijskih institucija.


Expenditure is related to the preparation, implementation and financing of investment projects, such as feasibility studies and market analysis, programme structuring, business plans, audits, preparation of public tenders etc.


Radi se dakle o troškovima koji se odnose na pripremu, provedbu i financiranje investicijskih projekata, kao što su npr. studije izvedivosti i analize tržišta, strukturiranje programa, poslovni plan, revizija, priprema javnog natječaja i sl.


Funds are allocated directly to final beneficiaries through the grant scheme principle.


Sredstva se dodjeljuju po principu darovnice izravno krajnjim korisnicima.


Final beneficiaries are local and (district) regional government, specifically public bodies in their ownership which do not have the capacity to prepare complex investment projects in the field of energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy.


Krajnji korisnici su lokalna i (područna) regionalna samouprava, odnosno javna tijela u njihovom vlasništvu koji nemaju kapaciteta sami pripremiti složene investicijske projekte u području energetske učinkovitosti i održivih izvora energije.


Potential applicants should contact the European Investment Bank directly via e-mail where they can express their interest and deliver a short description of the planned investment (i.e. type of investment, foreseen investment expenditure, duration of implementation as well as a description of the necessary technical assistance and consultancy services).


Potencijalni korisnici javljaju se direktno Europskoj investicijskoj banci putem e-mail-a gdje inicijalno iskazuju interes te prilažu kratak opis investicije (npr. vrsta ulaganja, očekivani investicijski troškovi, vremenski raspored odvijanja kao i opis te sadržaj potrebne tehničke pomoći odnosno konzultantskih usluga).


A detailed description of the ELENA instrument can be found on the EIB website.


Detaljniji opis instrumenta ELENA nalazi se na stranicama EIB-a.


The Croatian Academic and Research Network - CARNet was established in 1991 as a project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Republic of Croatia.


Hrvatska akademska i istraživačka mreža - CARNet nastala je 1991. godine kao projekt Ministarstva znanosti i tehnologije Republike Hrvatske.


In March 1995 the Government of the Republic of Croatia passed the Decree on founding of the CARNet institution with the purpose of facilitating progress of individuals, as well as of the society as a whole, through the use of new information technologies.


U ožujku 1995. godine Vlada Republike Hrvatske donosi Uredbu o osnivanju ustanove CARNet sa svrhom pospješivanja napretka, kako pojedinca tako i društva u cjelini pomoću novih informacijskih tehnologija.


The word CARNet is an acronym formed from the name of the institution in English (Croatian Academic and Research Network).


Riječ CARNet je skraćenica od engleskog naziva ustanove (Croatian Academic and Research Network).


Beside more than 96 employees, CARNet has about 20 external associates, and the employees from several institutions and companies participate in various project teams.


Uz 96 zaposlenih, CARNet ima oko 20 vanjskih suradnika, a djelatnici više ustanova i tvrtki sudjeluju u različitim projektnim timovima.


CARNet's most important partners are the University Computing Centre - Srce and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb.


Najvažniji CARNetovi partneri su Sveučilišni računski centar - Srce i Fakultet elektrotehnike i računarstva u Zagrebu.


CARNet's activities can be divided in three basic areas: Internet service provision, encouragement of information society development and education for the new era.


CARNetove aktivnosti mogu se podijeliti u tri osnovna područja: pružanje Internet usluga, poticanje razvoja informacijskog društva i obrazovanje za novo doba.


By systematically organising courses intended for end users, and through education programmes for future lecturers and computer systems engineers, as well as special programmes, like the Cisco Networking Academy, CARNet seeks to help its users in mastering and applying information technologies in their everyday life and work and in this way prepare them for information society.


Sustavnim organiziranjem tečajeva namijenjenih krajnjim korisnicima, programima obrazovanja budućih predavača i inženjera računalnih sustava te posebnim programima poput CISCO akademije mrežnih tehnologija CARNet nastoji pomoći svojim korisnicima u svladavanju i primjeni informacijskih tehnologija u svakodnevnom životu i radu te ih na taj način pripremiti za informacijsko društvo.


Summary: The authors conduct research on industrial development within a longer period of time in Croatia.


Sažetak: Autorice istražuju razvoj industrije na hrvatskim prostorima u dužem vremenskom razdoblju.


Hence, they identify significance of industry for overall economic development as well as the sources of its modern characteristics.


Tako uspijevaju utvrditi značenje industrije za ukupan ekonomski razvoj, ali i izvorišta njenih suvremenih obilježja.


Based on comparative analysis, the authors conclude that Croatia, according to indicators, has relatively favourable industry structure (high percentage of manufactoring industry).


Temeljem komparativne analize zaključuju da Hrvatska prema općim pokazateljima ima relativno povoljnu industrijsku strukturu (vrlo visok udio prerađivačke industrije).


However, its technology is absolete, and instead of competitive advantages it is relied on comparative ones.


No, ona je istodobno tehničko-tehnološki zastarjela i oslonjena na komparativne umjesto na konkurentne prednosti.


Therefore, the authors suggest the possible directions of restructuring. They consider the modernisation to be obtainable in two phases, because of the nature of the most important developmental determinants.


Stoga autorice predlažu moguće pravce prestrukturiranja pri čemu, zbog naravi najznačajnijih razvojnih determinanti smatraju modernizaciju ostvarivom u okviru dvije faze.


Summary: Some characteristics of human resources, significant from the point of view of restructuring the economy, are considered from the position of the Croatian reality.


Sažetak: Problemu sagledavanja nekih od obilježja ljudskih potencijala značajnih s aspekta prestrukturiranja gospodarstva pristupa se s pozicija hrvatskog realiteta.


The basic demographic trends are studied and process of depopulation is noted.


Istražuju se osnovni demografski tijekovi i uočava depopulacijski proces.


The causes of negative economic trends are found not to be in the sphere of population but vice versa. the need for multidimensional and multi-layer activities in adaptation of human resources to the new entrepreneural economic environment is analytically expounded and that at the level of state, the company and the family i.e. the individual.


Utvrđuje se kako se uzroci negativnih ekonomskih tokova ne nalaze u populacijskoj sferi već obrnuto. Analitički se razlaže potreba višedimenzionalnih i višeslojnih aktivnosti u prilagodbi ljudskih potencijala novom poduzetničkom gospodarskom ambijentu i to na razini države, poduzeća i obitelji odnosno pojedinca.


Summary: Developmental characteristics of Norht Adriatic area are researched in this paper.


Sažetak: Istražuju se razvojna obilježja sjevernojadranskog područja: priobalja i otoka.


It is analyzed: (1) to which extent have the processes of litorralisation been present in setting up of economic structure; (2) whether has the specific geo-traffic position influenced the economic structure being (non) favourable.


Analizira se: (1) u kolikoj mjeri se bili prisutni procesi litoralizacije u uspostavljanju gospodarske strukture; (2) da li je specifičan geoprometni položaj utjecao na (ne)povoljnost gospodarske strukture.


By application of suitable economic parameters, the developmental characteristics, the economic structure and the intensity of its changes in specific city aglomerations are researched.


Primjenom odgovarajućih ekonomskih parametara, posebno se istražuju razvojna obilježja, gospodarska struktura i intenzitet njenih promjena u pojedinim gradskim aglomeracijama.


The ranks of development are compared to the characteristics of litorralisation and to the intensity of structural changes.


Rangovi razvijenosti uspoređuju se s obilježjima litoralizacije i intenzitetom strukturnih promjena.


Thereafter, the developmental advantages and disadvantages are analyzed, and the basic components of possible development scenario of North Adriatic area are proposed.


Potom se analiziraju razvojne prednosti i ograničenja te predlažu osnovne komponente mogućeg rayvojnog scenarija sjevernojadranskog područja.


Summary: The classification of production factors on specific ones and general ones aims to establish their share in the combination of production factors.


Sažetak: Podjela proizvodnih faktora na specifične i opće ima za cilj da se utvrdi njihov različit udio u kombinaciji proizvodnih čimbenika.


Theoretical prerequisites consider general and flexible factors as mobile ones, whereas specific of fixed factors are considered to have non-changable level of availability.


U teorijskim pretpostavkama, mobilnost se pripisuje općim i fleksibilnim faktorima, dok se za specifične ili fiksne pretpostavlja nepromjenljivost razine raspoloživosti.


The effects of these production factors on international exchange result with following tendencies, classified in five types: normal or proportional tendency to export and import, export, import, ultraexport and ultraimport tendency.


Efekti tih proizvodnih faktora na međunarodnu razmjenu rezultiraju sljedećim sklonostima klasificiranim u pet oblika: normalna ili proporcionalna sklonost izvozu i uvozu, izvozna, uvozna, ultraizvozna i ultrauvozna sklonost.


Summary: In this paper the author exposes and systematizes the theories of full or ideal rationality.


Sažetak: U ovom radu autor izlaže i sistematizira teorije pune ili idealne racionalnosti.


They are normative theories of deductive rationality according to which the rational agent has to satisfy high logical criteria that are difficult to meet.


Riječ je o normativnim teorijama deduktivne racionalnosti prema kojima racionalni djelatnik treba zadovoljiti visoke ali teško ispunjive logičke kriterije.


The criteria that make sufficient conditions of rationality standards have been considered and finally the classification of the theories that satisfy those criteria has been proposed.


U radu se razmatraju kriteriji koji tvore u najmanju ruku dovoljne uvjete standarda racionalnosti, te se na kraju predlaže taksonomija teorija koje zadovoljavaju ove kriterije.


Summary: The paper deals with the factors of transformation in household behaviour in developed countries.


Sažetak: U članku se istražuju činitelji promjena ponašanja domaćinstva u zemljama poduzetničke ekonomije.


The factors have been grouped in two main categories: economic and noneconomic factors.


Faktori su podijeljeni u dvije osnovne grupe: ekonomske i neekonomske.


Particularly the changes in household structure have been analyzed as well as the rapid increase in the number of women in labor market.


Posebno se analizira promjena strukture domaćinstava i naglo povećanje učešća žena na tržištu rada.


Pointing out the characteristics of modern economy, it has been concluded that the basic economic causality of the observed changes in consumer behaviour can be explained first of all by the impact of the entrepreneural ambience and entrepreneurship in general as the key factors of the transformations.


Upućujući na obilježja suvremenih gospodarstava, zaključuje se da osnovnu, ekonomsku uzročnost uočenih promjena ponašanja potrošača treba tražiti prvenstveno u utjecaju poduzetničkog ambijenta i poduzetništva uopće, kao ključnih činitelja tih transformacija.


Summary: The index of economic activity of the County of Primorje and Gorski Kotar has been worked out on the basis of fourteen selected separate indicators which best represent economic structure of the region, with the aim of showing the dynamics of the County's economic activity level.


Sažetak: Indeks ekonomske aktivnosti Županije primorsko goranske izračunat je na temelju četrnaest odabranih pojedinačnih pokazatelja, koji najbolje reprezentiraju ekonomsku strukturu regije, s ciljem dsa se pokaže dinamika nivoa gospodarske aktivnosti Županije.


The trend analysis of the index of economic activity in the County of Primorje and Gorski Kotar for the period 1985-94 clearly shows two subperiods: the first one from 85-90, the pre-war period with the economic activity growth at the average rate of 2.9% a year; the second one since 91 with the war in Croatia considerably hampering the County's economic activities.


Analiza kretanja indeksa ekonomske aktivnosti Primorsko goranske županije za razdoblje od 1985. do 1994. godine jasno određuje dva podrazdoblja: prvo, od 1985. do 1990., razdoblje prije rata s porastom ekonomske aktivnosti po prosječnoj stopi od 2,9% godišnje; drugo, od 1991. godine kada je ratno stanje u Republici Hrvatskoj znakovito utjecalo na smanjenje ekonomske aktivnosti Županije.


Since 93 positive tendencies in economic activities have been noticed as they got the impetus at the end of the year resulting from the measures in curbing inflation and from general stabilisation of national economy.


Od 1993. godine uočljive su pozitivne tendencije oporavka ekonomske aktivnosti koja je dobila zamah krajem iste godine kao posljedica poduzetih mjera za obuzdavanje inflacije i opće gospodarske stabilizacije nacionalne ekonomije.


Providing the economic and political circumstances in the Republic of Croatia do not change, the 1996 economic activity in the County of Primorje and Gorski Kotar is expected to reach approximately the level of the pre-war 1990.


Uz pretpostavku da se gospodarske i političke prilike u Republici Hrvatskoj neće značajnije promijeniti, predviđa se da bi se gospodarska aktivnost Primorsko-goranske županije u 1996. godini ostvarivala približno na razini predratne 1990. godine.

Over the next four-year period (2010-2013) it is planned to establish an integral environment management system in the area of the Port of Rijeka Authority.


U narednom četverogodišnjem razdoblju (2010.-2013.) očekuje se uspostava cjelovitog sustava upravljanja okolišem na području Lučke uprave Rijeka.


To this end, in 2010 we began to prepare the necessary documentation for the selection of consultants for the establishement of the Environment Management System in the area of the Port of Rijeka Authority.


U tu svrhu je u 2010. godini započelo pripremanje dokumentacije za odabir konzultanata za uspostavu Sustava upravljanja okolišem na području Lučke uprave Rijeka.


The project is financed through the Rijeka Gateway Project.


Projekt je financiran iz Rijeka Gateway Projekta.


The Environment Management System envisages the setting up of a series of procedures and methods that will define the programme for monitoring the environment’s condition, the responsabilities and modus operandi in different situations, as well as reactions to unexpected (sudden) harmful situations that can arise in the area of the Port of Rijeka Authority.


Sustav upravljanja okolišem predviđa izradu nizova procedura i postupaka koje će definirati program praćenja stanja okoliša, odgovornosti i načine postupanja u različitim situacijama, kao i reagiranje na neočekivane (iznenadne) štetne situacije koje mogu nastati na području lučke uprave.
