“Slavonia, Baranya and Syrmia Project” with the Purpose of Achieving the Strategic Objectives of the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Croatia – legal aspects”

The Republic of Croatia has gained numerous benefits and faced numerous challenges by becoming a full EU member. One of the benefits is certainly the possibility of using EU funds and programmes. When it comes to challenges, numerous security challenges have emerged, including the interdependence of the world economy that makes the national economies susceptible to global trends. Hence, due to the significant share of the tourism and transport sector in GDP, the Republic of Croatia is particularly susceptible to global economic and security trends, and therefore faces the challenges of increasing competitiveness, greater public sector efficiency, greater investments in research and development, debt reduction, and public companies and state property management. In order to achieve its own goals and evenly disperse economic prosperity in all areas of the Republic of Croatia, the Government of the Republic of Croatia has defined the strategic objective, in terms of implementation of the “National Security Strategy of the Republic of Croatia” guidelines: Development of strong and sustainable economy and Demographic renewal and revitalization of the Croatian society. In the description of the listed objectives, undertaking and development of special balanced regional development measure, especially in demographically and economically vulnerable areas, is listed as an implementation mechanism. In the specific case, the “Slavonia, Baranya and Syrmia Project” can be considered such a mechanism, which is aim of the research in this paper. “Slavonia, Baranya and Syrmia Project” has been launched in order to provide 2.5 billion euros from EU funds exclusively for projects in the five Slavonian counties. Investment funds for entrepreneurship, agriculture, education, health, research and development, water and sewerage, cultural and natural heritage, transport sector, inland waterways and energy sectors demonstrate connectivity (causality) of the relationship between the Project itself and the achievement of the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Croatia, which is the sole aim of the research in this paper. This paper will use archival research in order to collect the necessary data on the approved programmes, which will be analysed and statistically processed with the aim of comparing the success of the implementation of National Security Strategy guidelines.
