 Brussels-based EUobserver: "EU warns Croatia on corruption, human trafficking" Excerpt:
But despite the headline cases, NGOs and international institutions say corruption remains deeply embedded in Croatian society. Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, from the Adriatic Institute for Public Policy, a think tank in Rijeka, Croatia, in January described the Sanander conviction as a "pinprick" against a "colossal" problem. Global Financial Integrity, a Washington-based NGO, in December said graft cost Croatia €11.3 billion between 2001 to 2010, with almost zero of the money recovered. (Full text)

VIDEO - AL JAZEERA BALKANS: Nataša Srdoč iz Washingtona DC o 2013 Indexu ekonomske slobode za jugoistočnu Europu - objavljenog od strane Heritage Foundation i Wall Street Journal
Index.hr: "Indeks ekonomskih sloboda: Hrvatska na 78 mjestu, iznad nas "velesile" Gana, Mongolija i Crna Gora!"
Srdoč: Kolaps gospodarstva i mirovinskog sustava je neizbježan.
Nataša Srdoč, predsjednica Adriatic instituta za javnu politiku kaže da je prvi korak u ekonomskom napretku i boljitku hrvatskih građana je da Hrvatska uspostavi nezavisno pravosuđe, vladavinu prava i zaštitu vlasničkih prava.
"Mi govorimo o istim represivnim ocjenama Hrvatske u Indexu ekonomske slobode - vlasnička prava i vladavina prava, sloboda od korupcije, državne potrošnje i radne slobode čitavo desetljeće. Ulagači poštenih namjera zaobilaze Hrvatsku u širokom luku jer je očito da Hrvatska nema vladavinu prava, nezavisno pravosuđe i zaštitu vlasničkih prava koji su nephodni za tržišno gospodarstvo i ulaganja. Bez ulaganja nema novih radnih mjesta i hrvatska nezaposlenost može samo rasti", kaže Srdoč o objavljenim rezultatima dodajući da su osiromašeni hrvatski građani su pokradeni, opterećeni porezima iznad svojih mogućnosti i ne vide budućnost u ovakvoj Hrvatskoj.
Kako je naglasila mladi opravdano napuštaju Hrvatsku, a kolaps gospodarstva i mirovinskog sustava je neizbježan.

Brussels to spend £16m on PR as junk-status Croatia joins EU
Bojan Pancevski, Brussels
Published: 16 December 2012 Excerpts from the British-based Sunday Times' print edition:
The European Commission is planning to spend £16m on a public relations campaign to promote European enlargem ent ahead of the entry next year of Croatia, a country with such serious economic problems that it could be forced to seek a bailout.
Croatia’s credit rating was downgraded to junk status last week after a deterioration in its economy attributed to a lack of reforms. This prompted fears that the Balkan country might require a bailout even before it joins the EU next July.
Youth unemployment is about 40% and foreign investment is deterred by rampant corruption, organised crime and weak rule of law.

The Report: "This is demonstrative of the increasing number of women being trafficked through Croatia, as they are often misidentified as illegal immigrants if intercepted at the boarders. Perhaps more disturbing is the increased report of unaccompanied minors in Croatia that the IOM deemed often un-identified victims of human trafficking."

"Hence, the HDZ has branded her “an enemy of the state.” Nearly two dozen of her party’s members and supporters have been harassed and intimidated by HDZ and leftist officials. Recently, Aleksandar Radovic, a candidate for Croatia 21st Century and a well-known anti-corruption author, was arrested by government authorities. His crime: He had extensively documented the vast illicit wealth and corruption of Interior Minister Tomislav Karamarko - a thug who uses the police as his personal henchmen. Mr. Radovic is rotting in jail, a political prisoner in a supposedly democratic country."
