Institut za međunarodne odnose

This policy brief analyzes asylum politics in Croatia, both at the level of practice and at the level of legal and normative standards. The goal is to examine the issue of asylum migration, highlight key problems in the process of integrating asylees in the Croatian society and offer policy recommendations. This analysis indicates the need for increasing public awareness about asylum and fostering accountability of political elites to address these issues with responsibility and care. The upcoming membership in the European Union will bring additional challenges, including those related to migration and asylum. Is Croatia prepared? The debate on asylum in Croatia is at the initial stage, the argument this paper uses to underline the importance and benefits of early action.
This policy brief was produced within the framework of the TRAIN Programme organized by the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) in 2011.

Istraživanje donosi ocjene kapaciteta županijskih institucija za sudjelovanjem na natječajima za dodjelu bespovratnih sredstava sufinanciranih od strane pretpristupnih fondova Europske Unije. Analiza sadrži rezultate anketnog istraživanja kojom su obuhvaćene sve županije kao i službene podatke o ugovorenim sredstvima iz pretpristupnih fondova do 31.12.2010. Rezultati istraživanja ukazali su na važnost regionalne samouprave u pogledu korištenja sredstava iz pretpristupnih fondova Europske unije. Županije zajedno sa svojim institucijama poput županijskih razvojnih agencija ne samo da se direktno prijavljuju na natječaje već značajno pomažu i druge aktere u županiji u pripremi vlastitih projekata. Rezultati su potvrdili da je osnivanjem županijskih razvojnih agencija dan vrlo snažan poticaj bržem razvoju kapaciteta za korištenje sredstava iz pretpristupnih fondova. Međutim, primjetne su značajne razlike među županijskih institucijama u pogledu uspješnosti korištenja EU sredstava. Otprilike jedna četvrtina županija ugovorila je oko tri četvrtine ukupno ugovorenih sredstava.
