Jasmina Trstenjak conducted an analysis of ‘painful adjustment’ by taking inventory of the changes that have befallen us in the first two Croatian weeks in the European Union.
Read about changes in VAT, losses in customs revenues, the first funds from the EU, cheaper phone calls, and the first connection to the IT market in this week’s feature.
Branimir Kovač addressed the topic of divestment – as the word itself suggests, the removal of excess burdens, a sort of fitness regimen for unhealthy and oversized companies that could return to the market competition after this process.
This week’s figure (and work) is Viktor Vresnik, the new editor-in-chief of Jutarnji list and one of the most respected economic journalists. He was elected by referendum, and his appointment was supported by as much as 80 percent of the employees. Read what his colleagues say about him in this issue.
The sharp pen of Željka Laslavić this week took on tourist boards. Read what she learned about the new structure that should abolish the cumbersome system with 300 local directors.
This week’s entrepreneur is Egon Puljić from the company Reton, who turned a small company, created out of necessity, into a profitable business. In the new issue of Lider, you will find more interesting topics such as an analysis of the Croatian film industry, what awaits us at this year’s Weekend Media Festival, and many others.
