Croatia
Country Profile
Croatia is a unitary state using a parliamentary system of governance. It is classified by the World Bank as a high-income economy. The government structure is based on separation of legislative, executive and judicial powers. The country is part of the EU since 2013 and it is Croatia’s most important trading partner.
Social enterprises in Croatia are facing many challenges, but the most important barrier to their development is without doubt the slow pace of progress in the creation of a supportive legal framework and institutional environment.
