Lider in the new issue brings a story about the new structure of buyers interested in the new wave of privatization of state companies in Croatia arriving from the east. We provide an answer to the question of whether this is a concerning trend, given that capital from the east is somewhat ‘wilder’ and younger with little capital history.
Analysts agree that capital should not be looked at too closely, but they warn that every sales contract should protect the interests of the company, and thus the state as well. However, they emphasize that the crisis will not be resolved by selling state companies, and you can read more about this in the weekly topic by Gordana Gelenčer.
We also investigated how the new mayors have fared in their new positions after the recent local elections. In the first 100 days, trimming, reducing the number of employees, and reorganization are common denominators for most city leaders at the beginning of their new term. Although there are those who have increased their earnings, the first moves have caused an unexpected typification of the new generation of Croatian mayors, and Jasmina Trstenjak categorized them into savers, spenders, heroes, aesthetes, and moralists.
