  • Anticorruption Policy in Croatia: Benchmark for Eu
    1 Damir Grubiša Anti-Corruption Policy in Croatia: a Benchmark for EU Accession In 1998, the European Commission concluded in its evaluation of the central and east European countries' requests for EU membership in the context of the preparation for Agenda 2000 that the fight against political corruption in these countries needed to be upgraded. The Commission's report on the progress of each candidate country can be summed up as follows: "The efforts undertaken by candidate countries are not always adequate to the entity of the problem itself. Although some of these countries initiate new programmes for the control and prevention of corruption, it is too early for a judgment on the efficiency of such measures. A lack of determination can be seen in confronting this problem and in rooting out corruption in the greatest part of the candidate countries". Similar evaluations were repeated in subsequent reports on the progress of candidate countries from central and east Europe. Accordingly, it was concluded in 2001 that political corruption is a serious problem in five out of ten countries of that region: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, and a constant problem in three more countries: Hungary, Lithuania and Latvia. The Commission refrained from expressing critical remarks only in the case of two countries – Estonia and Slovenia. Up to 2002, only eight out of fifteen member states ratified the basic instrument that the EU had adopted against corruption, namely the EU Convention on the Safeguarding of Economic Interests of the European Communities. Some of the founding members of the European Community were rated as countries with a "high level of corruption" – Germany, France and, specifically, Italy.

  • The United States and Croatia: the Bilateral Relationship Since 1991
    The United States and Croatia: The Bilateral Relationship Since 1991 Thomas P. Melady∗ Professor and Senior Diplomat in Residence, Institute of World Politics United States Ambassador to the Holy See, 1989-1993 United States Ambassador to Uganda, 1972-1973 United States Ambassador to Burundi, 1969-1972 Senior Advisor to the US Delegation to the United Nations General Assembly President Emeritus of Sacred Heart University Former United States Assistant Secretary for Post Secondary Education he period of 1991-2008 witnessed significant development in the bilateral relations between Croatia and the United States. Is this situation due to one T person or several? Did events energize this change or was it the result of a series of well conceived strategies? Before proceeding with the diagnosis, it would be appropriate to examine briefly the history of Croatia. Croatia: An Ancient Nation but a New State As a nation united in language and values, Croatia has existed in Europe for over 1,500 years and has had a significant impact on the region today. In order to understand the changes in the US-Croatia bilateral relationship, the evolution of US policy in the western Balkans should be examined. At the end of World War I, President Woodrow Wilson pushed for the break up of the Austro- Hungarian monarchy. He championed the principles of national self-determination and democracy; he disliked empires based on absolutism. He also made little effort to disguise his dislike for the Central European kingdom that for over four centuries held the different nations together. Events birthed the kingdom of Serbs, Croatia, an independent nation since 1991, has a population of approximately 4.5 million (about Croats, Slovenes at the end of 1918.
