The research stress main importance of cluster conception and their benefits what is very important for countries characterized by large regional disparities like Croatia. Although some institutions know why clusters are important, there is still no adequate co-operation, coordination and no synergy between actors, nor mutual trust between them in Croatia. This paper provides a review of cluster mapping process initiated by the Croatian Government and EU. The main outcome of the review was the recommendation that three “priority” agglomerations are considered for developing into regional or sub-regional clusters in Croatia - manufacture of furniture and wood processing sector, manufacture of parts and accessories for motor vehicles together with associated general engineering sector and manufacture of food.
