The project has been implemented through three interrelated components: □ Under Component I, the main focus of the activities has been the drafting and publication of this Handbook, which will serve as a major reference for all those involved or interested in the EU accession process, containing relevant information sources and internet addresses; □ Component II has been focused on capacity building assistance and provision of help-desk services for a broad group of benefi ciaries in two main areas: programming of IPA 2008 and procurement. □ Component III has been focused on training. The training activities were also divided along the lines of programming, project development and management, on the one hand, and procurement issues, on the other. Capacity Building and Project Preparation Facility in Croatia has been implemented by metis GmbH in association with GTZ GmbH. The duration of the project has been 13 months, January 2008 – February 2009.

Glossary of Terms 206 FOREWORD BY CODEF Dear Reader, YouY have in your hands the fi rst edition of the Handbook “European Funds for Croatian Projects”,P which presents fi nancial cooperation and European Union supported programmesp in Croatia. This publication has been produced with the assistance of thet European Union and aims to give you an understanding and insight into the way EuropeanE funds are allocated and planned, how these funds operate and how they couldc support your idea, your project, your community or organisation. TheT Central Offi ce for Development Strategy and Coordination of EU Funds (CODEF) isis in charge of the coordination of EU funds for Croatia, and the generation of a nationaln development strategy. It is the lead institution in the Republic of Croatia forfof EU funds programming and monitoring. It is also a key interlocutor between the CroatianC Government and the European Commission, together with the National AuthorisingA Offi cer and the National Fund within the Ministry of Finance for the fi nancial managementm of EU funds. While the Ministry of Finance has to ensure that EU funds area spent correctly and in a fi nancially sound manner, CODEF’s broader mandate is to monitor that EU funds are spent effectively; that Croatia has the programmes and projects in place to ensure absorption, and makes the best use of EU and national resources. For several decades now the European Union has been one of the principal actors in international co-operation and the biggest donor of development assistance in the world. In order to support its external assistance policy the EU has developed a wide range of fi nancial instruments, which most people call EU assistance programmes or European funds. Some of these instruments have been tailored to the specifi c development priorities of the benefi ciary states. Others have been designed ad hoc to target the immediate needs of partner countries and regions. In Croatia this process of fi nancial support started with independence of the country. At each stage the European Union tailored its support to the needs of the country. Now, the European Union renders pre-accession assistance to Croatia to support political, economic and institutional reforms, cross-border cooperation, regional competitiveness, regional development, development of human resources, and support for agriculture and fi sheries. In this way the European Union helps Croatia meet European standards and prepares the institutions, administrations, businesses, and civil society for membership. The Handbook also presents the fi nancial opportunities that currently exist for Croatia and which will open up further in the future, once the country becomes a Member State of the European Union. In this Handbook you will fi nd: ● What are pre-accession instruments and how they can be used; ● An overview of European Community Programmes, which are an additional opportunity for financing in relation to different European policies; ● What are Structural and Cohesion Funds, European funds for Rural Development and Fisheries, and how they will operate for Croatia; ● An explanation of the different types of procurement procedures for the awarding of grants and public contracts under European funds; ● Recommendations on how, “step by step”, to transform an idea into a project proposal using a logical framework approach and other project cycle management tools, ● Guidance on how to successfully develop a European project and tips for project management, monitoring and evaluation. We do believe that this Handbook will be useful reading

  • Research for Tran Committee - Transport and Tourism in Croatia
    Briefing RESEARCH FOR TRAN COMMITTEE - TRANSPORT AND TOURISM IN CROATIA This overview of the Croatian transport and tourism sectors was prepared to provide information for the mission of the Transport and Tourism Committee to Croatia (3-5 November 2015). 1. INTRODUCTION The territory of Croatia comprises 1,244 islands (602 islands and islets and 642 rocks and reefs) that makes it second largest archipelago in Mediterranean after Greece1. Croatia is a Parliamentary Republic, where the Croatian Parliament, named the Sabor, is the only legislative body (151 members elected for a term of 4 years). The next elections (the 8th since the 1990 multiparty Sabor) will be held on Sunday 8 November 2015. The Croatian Parliament consists of 29 Committees, including the Tourism Committee and the Committee on Maritime Affairs, Transportation and Infrastructure2. Croatia has three levels of governance: the national level, the regional level with 20 counties plus the City of Zagreb, and the local level with 429 municipalities and 126 towns. The City of Zagreb has a special status, as it is both a town and a county. Croatia's decentralisation process started in 2001 when certain functions and responsibilities were transferred from the national to the local level. Croatia had one of the wealthiest economies among the former Yugoslavian Republics. Unfortunately, the country suffered heavily during the war of 1991-95, and lost part of its competitiveness compared to other economies of central Europe that were benefiting (at the beginning of the 1990s) from democratic changes. Also due to the subsequent introduction of reforms, Croatia had rapidly developed until 2008.

  • The Ethnographic Research of the Digital Divide
    DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Igor Matic August 2006 The dissertation entitled DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA by IGOR MATIC has been approved for the School of Telecommunications and the College of Communication by Karen E. Riggs Professor, School of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, College of Communication ABSTRACT MATIC, IGOR, Ph. D., August 2006, Mass Communication DIGITAL DIVIDE IN ISTRIA (209 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Karen E. Riggs This dissertation covers the Digital Divide phenomena in the Istrian region. Istria is a Northern Adriatic peninsula that is administratively divided between three European countries: Croatia (which covers approximately 90% of the peninsula), Slovenia (app. 7%), and Italy (app. 3%). In this dissertation my goal was to articulate the most influential theoretical frameworks that are used to explain the Digital Divide today and I try to give an explanation of the issue through ethnographic procedures. The goals of this research include the examination of the current Digital Divide debate, extension of the theory toward the local understanding and perception of this global phenomenon. Additionally, I wanted to identify different interpretations of the Digital Divide in three countries within one region and compare the differences and similarities in new technology usage and perceptions. Also, I was interested to see how age - which is described as one of the major Digital Divide factors - influences the relationships between older and younger generations, specifically relationships between parents and children, instructors, students and co-workers.

  • Prometna Povezanost
    Tourism Introduction Zadar County encompasses marine area from Island Pag to National Park Kornati and land area of Velebit, i.e. the central part of the Croatian coastline. This is the area of true natural beauty, inhabited from the Antique period, rich with cultural heritage, maritime tradition and hospitality. Zadar County is the heart of the Adriatic and the fulfilment of many sailors' dreams with its numerous islands as well as interesting and clean underwater. It can easily be accessed from the sea, by inland transport and airways. Inseparable unity of the past and the present can be seen everywhere. Natural beauties, cultural and historical monuments have been in harmony for centuries, because men lived in harmony with nature. As a World rarity, here, in a relatively small area, within a hundred or so kilometres, one can find beautiful turquoise sea, mountains covered with snow, fertile land, rough karst, ancient cities and secluded Island bays. This is the land of the sun, warm sea, olives, wine, fish, song, picturesque villages with stone- made houses, to summarise - the true Mediterranean. History of Tourism in Zadar Tourism in Zadar has a long tradition. The historical yearbooks record that in June 1879 a group of excursionists from Vienna visited Zadar, in 1892 the City Beautification Society was founded (active until 1918), and in 1899 the Mountaineering and Tourism Society "Liburnia" was founded. At the beginning of the XX century, in March 1902 hotel Bristol was opened to the public (today's hotel Zagreb). Most important period for the development of tourism in Zadar County lasted from the 60's - 80's of the 20th century, when the majority of the hotel complexes were erected.

Meštrovića 63, 21000 Split, Croatia 3 University of Dubrovnik, Institute for Marine and Coastal Research, Kneza Damjana Jude 12, 20000 Dubrovnik, Croatia Corresponding author: [email protected] Handling Editor: Argyro Zenetos Received: 24 October 2012; Accepted: 28 February 2013; Published on line: 26 March 2013 Abstract The Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea covers more than 35% of the total Croatian territory, which means that monitoring changes in marine ecosystems and the conservation of biodiversity are of great importance. Following global changes, Croatia is experiencing increasing problems due to the introduction of new species that include aliens (due to aquaculture activities and ship- ping) and species from other Mediterranean subregions that are extending their geographic range. This work provides a checklist of introduced species in Croatian waters. A total of 113 species (15 phytoplankton, 16 zooplankton, 16 macroalgae, 44 zoobenthic and 22 fish species) have been recorded in the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, of which 61 species are alien and 52 introduced, due to climate change. Keywords: Alien species, range expansion, Croatia, Adriatic Sea, Mediterranean Sea. Introduction Considering all major characteristics, three biogeo- graphic regions can be recognized in the Adriatic Sea: a The Adriatic Sea is an elongated semi-enclosed basin shallow northern sub-basin and a deep southern sub-ba- in the Northeastern Mediterranean Sea.

  • Adriatic Fish Biodiversity and Review of Bibliography Related to Croatian Small-Scale Coastal Fisheries
    Adriatic fish biodiversity and review of bibliography related to Croatian small-scale coastal fisheries Dulčić J.,* Soldo A.* and Jardas I.* Abstract The paper provides some basic bio-geographic features of the Adriatic ichthyofauna with attention to the new species occurring in the Adriatic region. A bibliographic outline of the scientific research carried out on coastal fish of Croatia is also given together with the historical background of the coastal fishery research. Investigations on small-scale coastal fisheries are described with emphasis to the effects of fishing gear on the fish assemblage in the Croatian coastal areas. Keywords: artisanal fishing; marine fish; coastal fisheries; fishing gears; zoogeography; MED, Adriatic Sea; MED; Croatia 1. General features of the Adriatic Sea The Adriatic Sea is a long depression or a synclinal. Its present shape and form originated at the beginning of the Quaternary period, when it was formed by a transgression. In the late Tertiary period in this area, the Earth’s crust sagged forming a depression. Later, this was filled with seawater creating the northern Adriatic. During the Pleistocene period, a part of the sag, the north Italian plain, became dry again. The deeper southern Adriatic was formed when the Earth’s crust collapsed in the late Tertiary period. The Strait of Otranto that connects the Adriatic to the Ionian Sea was formed the same way. The coastline of the Adriatic was unstable during the Tertiary period. The eastern, Dinaric part was flooded in the beginning. Later the water withdrew to the west flooding almost the entire Apennine coast and leaving the eastern coast dry.
