The strategic goal is to meet domestic needs with domestic production by 2020. By 2020, due to old age and uneconomical production, 1,100 MW in thermal power plants will be retired. To compensate this and to meet increasing electricity consumption, new power plants must be built. Since domestic po- tential for large hydro power plants have been practi- cally used up, and some of potential sites are bound by intergovernmental agreements, the Government of the Republic of Croatia opted in the new strategy for base-load power plants which use gas or coal but also for undertaking analyses and preliminary work needed to make a decision by 2012 on whether to build a nuclear power plant. Considering the modest domestic energy resources and in order to diversify the sources, achieve competitiveness of base-load production and greenhouse emission control, no energy option can be ruled out in advance. Regarding the fulfillment of goals in the limiting of greenhouse gases emission, a significant contri- bution is expected from renewable sources. It a national target to maintain the share of 35 percent of electricity production from renewable sources. We support HEP in the use of renewable sources and we are sure that it will be more successful if it becomes competitive in electricity production from base-load plants. It is necessary for HEP to continue to participate in interstate projects for interconnection of electricity transmission systems, and in other energy projects of interest to the Republic of Croatia. Only as such, strong and integral, HEP can go into the common market and become the leader in the region, and support the Government of the Republic of Croatia in its efforts to provide the citizens with affordable, adequate and reliable energy supply.

  • National Identity in the Political Party Flags in Croatia
    National Identity in the Political Party Flags in Croatia Željko Heimer Abstract In 1989 the first new political parties were formed in Croatia after almost half a century of the single-party system and in 1990 the multiparty elections were held. The re-born democracy quickly produced dozens of new parties, most of which started using logos and symbols and many of them flags. In the last 20 years some of the parties were disbanded, others newly established, some have united, others split—the total number of parties registered at any given time has averaged about 100, although probably only a score or two had any significant influence in the country’s political life. With the different ideologies and interests, parties chose different flags and emblems depicted in them, some based on the national flag, on the chequy arms, on other national symbols, while other chose elements of regional and local identity, European and global symbols as well as other more particular ones. This paper systematically presents the flags of various parties in Croatia in the last 20 years with an emphasis on the identity symbols they use.

In their competitive role, they enable competition between different programmes, and by having integrative role, they enable balance in the functioning of the political system.

  • Report on the Work Activities for the Year of 2003
    REPUBLIC OF CROATIA THE OMBUDSMAN REPORT ON THE WORK ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR OF 2003 Zagreb, March 2004 1 SECTION ONE INTRODUCTORY REMARKS 1. The report on the work activities of the Ombudsman is a regular annual report that is submitted to the Croatian Parliament by the Ombudsman for the previous year. This is the seventh report that the Ombudsman, Mr. Ante Klarić, has submitted during his term in office. Each year in the governing bodies and at the plenary session of the Croatian Parliament there was an extensive discussion – not only regarding the Ombudsman’s annual report itself, but also regarding the evaluations he presented and general issues of promotion and protection of human rights in the Republic of Croatia. In lieu of the Report on the work activities for the year of 2003, the Croatian Parliament held an extensive discussion, after which by the majority of votes (74 in favor, 1 against and 2 abstaining) a conclusion was reached by which the Report on the work activities of the Ombudsman for the year of 2002 was taken note of. In accordance with the proposal of the Committee for Family, Youth and Sports, the following conclusions were reached (by the majority of votes; 48 in favor, 8 against and 26 abstaining): (1) The Government of the Republic of Croatia commits itself to - as soon as possible - review and improve the life conditions within departments of institutions for minors at which the freedom of movement in the Republic of Croatia is limited. (2) Within an appropriate amount of time it is necessary to ensure additional funding in order to enable efficient functioning of the Ombudsman of the Republic of Croatia.
