Sažetak
Some kind of pursuit for investments, which have to activate stagnating or sleeping economy, is a constant orientation of the most governments in the world. Especially in the period of economic recession or depression, governments usually try to find a way to mobilize resources or assets existing in their country, or naturally, to attract some foreign resources or investments. But beside the figures which show some concrete details, about labour cost, material cost, raw base, taxes, customs and other relevant issues, there have to be some skills in dealing with potential investors and their investments. With so defined aim, in the last few years in the Republic of Croatia were conducting some education programs, raising skills and exchanging experiences with experts from successful European regions and countries, in order to educate own personnel who are working in local authority bodies or in local/regional development agencies. Those employees have to be able to present possibilities for investment in their area, to provide requested information, finally, and if possible together with their team attract foreign investors, and provide them all the needed support. What are the current benefits of such programs, what are possible future effects and expected results of such activities, what are “cost and benefits”, are some of the issues that will be discussed and present in this paper.
