Sažetak
Based on the Eurobarometer survey No 54 (Autumn 2000), a modified measuring instrument was designed, adjusted to conducting a survey in Croatia. A pencil-and-pen survey was conducted in December 2001, at he Faculty of Economics in Osijek (n=148), and the Faculty of Economics in Split (n=91). It is the assumption of this research that future exponents of economic policies, i.e. the current students of final years at the faculties of economics, will be determining to a great degree the adjustment of the Republic of Croatia to European integration processes. In each of the countries that are membership candidates, as well as in those awaiting this status, the preparations for integration into the EU comprise a complex process of adjusting both the economy and legislation. In gransitioanl countries, including Croatia, this process will unfold simultaneously with the consolidation of institutional and administrative framework for the transition to market economy. Preparation for full mempership will therefore require fundamental changes in the legal, economic and social systems. Croatia can advance towards the EU membership most quickly if it is determined to carry aout the programme and to improve its own abilities for achieving the required level of adjustment. The adjustment process and the possibility of its implementation will be gratly influenced by the levels of knowledge about the EU and all the determinants of the integration process. This research therefore focuses on the studnets' levels of information regarding the EU, the sources of this information, as well as the frequency of using the analyzed sources of informationa. Special consideration was given to the Internet as a medium whose basic characteristic includes the terms "network and networking" in the context of global information. The survey analysis includes the applied methods of multivariand statistical analysis, whereas desk top method was used to analyse the publication of information on the Internet by the EU.
