Sažetak
The Europe 2020 strategy was launched in 2010 as a successor of the Lisbon strategy with the main aim to generate smart, sustainable and inclusive growth in the European Union. Concretely, the Europe 2020 strategy has set five ambitious objectives on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy to be reached by 2020. Each Member State has adopted its own national targets in each of these areas. Almost half way from the start of the implementation, is a good time to assess accomplishments of the Europe 2020. Very similar to idea of the Lisbon strategy which did not meet expectations, the Europe 2020 strategy was launched with great optimism trying to retrieve all the things that did not function with the Lisbon strategy ; from the aims, measures to the way of implementation. One of the problems of the implementation of the mutual strategy of the European Union member states is their heterogeneity. Also, economic and financial crisis that occurred does not contribute to the achievement of the Europe 2020 goals. This paper analyses the perspectives of the fulfillment of the Europe 2020 goals assessing the so far results, but also comparing its contents and implementation to the Lisbon strategy to determine whether the past mistakes are corrected. In order to do that paper analyses and determines the deficiencies of the Lisbon strategy. Also macroeconomic conditions and characteristics of member countries are taken into consideration to answer to the question whether we can hope the Europe 2020 strategy to be achieved in 2020 or not. Finally, paper identifies weaknesses of the Europe 2020 implementation and points out possible measures to strengthen the Europe 2020 implementation.
