Acknowledgements
We are grateful to a number of people without whose help this work could not
have been realised. Many thanks go to the GTZ team in Zagreb and Eschborn,
particularly Karin Hörhan and Lucijano Jakšić as well as Detlev Böttcher, who
not only provided the funding for the study, but also offered valuable logistic
and intellectual support. We also thank the Croatian Chamber of Commerce,
especially Ružica Gelo and Jasminka Dukić, for the fruitful cooperation in this
project. Many thanks go to our colleagues at Zagreb University, particularly
Ramona Franić and Mario Njavro, who organised and oversaw the empirical
survey in Croatia. We also thank our colleagues at the Ministries of Agriculture,
Forestry and Water Management, and of Foreign Affairs and European Integration
for their kind cooperation. Special thanks go to Franz Fischler, who kindly
reviewed our policy conclusions.
