Sažetak
An opinion survey of student population regarding European integration processes was conducted at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek in 2004 (second round of research) and compared with the data gathered in 2001 at the Faculties of Economics in Osijek and Split (first round of research) . Choosing the students as the target group of the survey was based on the assumption that today's younger age groups (i.e. current students at the Faculty of Economics) will be active participants in future integration processes. The questionnaire used to compile the students' opinions is a modified version of the standard Eurobarometer 54, which is used to investigate the opinions of the EU citizens. The basic aim of the authors was to determine to what extent the students at the Faculty of Economics in Osijek were informed about the European Union, and to establish their opinions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of future integration processes. The collected data were analyzed by the methods of multivariate statistical analysis. Apart from the results of the statistical analysis the paper also contains the modified questionnaire, which could be used to follow the investigated problem longitudinally and thus influence the necessary future activities with the aim of successful association of the Republic of Croatia with the European Union. The comparison of the results obtained in 2001 and 2004 shows that the level of information on the EU in student population has definitely increased ; however, there is also a noticeable decline of positive attitudes towards Croatia's membership in the European Union.
