Sažetak
The paper examines foreign direct investment in Croatia and the European manager's perception. Croatia’s economic stability in recent years has been achieved, with stable currency that appreciates on occasions against leading Western currencies, a fairly stable political regime and an acceptable level of relations with neighbouring countries. The net international position of Croatia shows considerable deficit: the assets are growing at a much slower pace than liabilities. FDI is pouring in Croatia. Bond issued by the Croatian Government played an important role, as they are accepted in many countries. This should be a clear sign of the growing interest of foreign firms for sound investments in some sectors of the Croatian economy. Croatia scores relatively poorly in the law enforcement indicators. It seems that the legal processes are too long, overly complicated and certainly the attitude of the judicial system can be described at least as relaxed. Managers of smaller firms operating in Croatia believe that further corporate tax reduction would help in attracting additional FDIs, but author believe that there is also a personal motive which influence their attitude.
