Sažetak
The aim of this paper is to provide insight into the recent developments of evolving “EU island policies” with the purpose of introducing them as new opportunities for the sustainable development of Croatian islands. This paper consists of two main parts. In the first part, the review of the recent EU legal instruments and initiatives devoted to islands is presented with the purpose of illustrating the elementary features of the current state of what can be regarded as “the EU policy framework for islands”, as well as of indicating the recent steps taken at the EU level towards creating a more coherent, and inevitably sustainable “EU island policy”. In the second part of the paper, after offering an overview of the Croatian legal framework for islands, implications of Croatia’s encounter with the current “EU island policy” framework is presented in the light of the evolving process of Europeanization of Croatian island policies, which indicates that the implementation of the current “EU island policy” framework in Croatia is still limited. This part of the paper is complemented by the reflections coming from the representatives of the Croatian public and the civil sector involved in this process. Taking into consideration that “EU island policies” are still evolving, as well as taking into account still a limited current state of their implementation in Croatia, the results of this paper indicate that it is of a particular importance for Croatia to utilize current and influence further policy making in the field of “island policies” at the EU level.
