Sažetak
Croatia joined the discussions about transeuropean transport corridors very late, at the 3. Paneuropean Transport Conference in Helsinki 1997. The main reason was the 1991-1995 war which followed the disintegration of Yugoslavia as well as the post-war development. As Croatia firmly set its course towards a EU membership, it expressed a strong will to include itself into the future transeuropean network. At the same time, as a newly independent state Croatia also had a strong need to organize its national transport system. Out of ten transeuropean transport corridors Croatia directly or indirectly participates in three of them. Those are Vb and Vc branches of the V corridor, the VII corridor and the X corridor with its branch Xa. The relationship of transeuropean transport corridors and the national transport system is discussed. Parts of the corridors correspond to some of the most important national transport routes. The level of the development of the transport infrastructure by transport modes are being analyzed for particular corridors. Generally, the road network is the most developed and is still intensely built. Railroad network significantly falls behind European standards, primarily by its quality. The situation in inland waterways transport is even worse. The differences mentioned above threaten some of the main goals of the EU transport policy, mostly the development of an efficient multimodal system comprising all modes of transport.
