Sažetak
One of Croatia’s principal economic problems is its regional disparities. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the strengths and constraints in resolving this problem that includes regional inequalities, at institutional and empiric levels in these two counties: the most developed Zagreb County and the least developed Vukovarsko-srijemska County. The main hypothesis of the paper is to prove/demonstrate/examine/ that in order to decrease the regional disparities and strengthen the bottom-up development, in addition to the built institutional infrastructure, partnership between private and public sector should be established as well as a coordination of networks among all levels of authority (especially between regional and local authorities). Hence, a research will be carried out based on the inquiries and interviews with the main stakeholders in the two counties. The most important issue of this paper is to find the answer of the following dilemma: is a developed institutional infrastructure in Croatia a necessary and sufficient assumption for efficient and more equal regional development, or does everything depend on the initiative of different stakeholders and the level of their awareness of important coordination and partnership between them?
