Data for 2001 - Source: CBS - Statistical Year book 2002 CROATIAN SPECIALTIES one of the most important factors of the overal economic and social development of the Republic of Croatia. The current status of transportation in Croatia is not satisfactory, especially with regard to harbours, maritime and river transport and railways. The capacity of the Rijeka harbour, which has an extraordinary geographical position and excellent precon- ditions for the transhipment of all kinds of freight (general cargo, bulk cargo, container cargo, liquid cargo, ro- ro cargo, live cargo etc.), as well as other Croatian harbours is insufficiently used. The share of combined transportation in the overall transportation of cargo is very small. It is necessary to develop this sector as one of the most modern and environmentally friendly types of transportation. This would facilitate integration into the already developed European system of combined transportation. There is an extreme surplus of transport providers, i.e. disproportion to transportation needs, in road transportation. Road and railway infrastructure are not equally developed in all parts of Croatia. Even though great efforts have been put in the construction of new roads in the last several years, substantial investments are still necessary both in terms of the existing as well as new infrastructure, with a special emphasis on better connection between the coastal and continental part of the country.

Distributive trade has an important place in the overall CULTURE economy in SPORTS ADDRESSES CROATIAN SPECIALTIES Distributive Trade the Republic of Croatia. Almost 45% of Croatian business entities are engaged in distributive trade. Its significance is reflected in the generated added value in GDP (10.0%). This sector employs more than 165,000 workers, i.e. 15.9% of the total workforce in the Republic of Croatia. Companies engaged in distributive trade have generated a turnover of 169 billion HRK in 2002 (VAT includ- ed), which is 18.5% more than the year before, of which wholesale has generated 89 billion HRK, i.e. 20.5% more in real value, and retail 74 billion HRK, i.e. 15.4% more than in the previous year. At the end of December 2002, retail companies held 24,406 outlets active, which is about 3% more than in the previous year, whereas there were 22,023 shops in the trades and crafts sector. There are 95 inhabitants per each store in Croatia, but this ratio varies depending on the county or city. The highest concentration of stores is in Zagreb and in the County of Zagreb, followed by the County of Varaædin and the Osijek-Baranja County.
