The Associations Glas poduzetnika and ZRIN Sign Cooperation Agreement

The Association Glas poduzetnika and the recently established Scientific-Development Initiative ZRIN signed a Partnership Cooperation Agreement today in Zagreb. The agreement was signed on behalf of their Associations by the president of the Association Glas poduzetnika Hrvoje Bujas and the president of ZRIN-a Damir Vanđelić, as stated in the press release.

The cooperation agreement states, among other things, that the two associations, signatories of the agreement, will inform each other about all important initiatives, events, and actions, support each other in requests directed to the competent authorities if they reflect their fundamental values and principles of operation, and that they will jointly create initiatives, actions, and events of common significance, as well as jointly apply for projects funded from EU funds.

These two associations share the same goals and the vision of Croatia 2.0 to stimulate a synergistic effect and implement real changes in society. 

Both associations, through their activities, support and advocate for 4 postulates:

• #MoreWork – The state must not encourage less work through tax, legislative, and other policies; on the contrary! It must encourage work, increase turnover, increase profits, and increase wages!
• #Digitalization – The state cannot demand documents from entrepreneurs and craftsmen that it has issued itself! Digitalize public administration, you have started now, go all the way! 
• #LowerTaxes – The state does not have to give anything to entrepreneurs, but it must take less! Entrepreneurs know best how and where to invest the money they have earned themselves! 
• #MoreJustice – The state should be the last to collect! Why do we ask for VAT payment to the state to be permanent upon invoice collection, and not a temporary measure? Because in that case, the judiciary will start functioning, as the state will do everything to be efficient in order to collect as soon as possible! We need an efficient judiciary!

Based on a common interest in mutual connection, this Cooperation Agreement will enable program cooperation in areas of common interest  through joint initiatives and mutual informing about activities that contribute to improving the business environment.

– The central paradigm of ZRIN is the economic paradigm, that is, the increase of the standard of living in Croatia.  A key factor in strengthening the economy and raising the standard is precisely entrepreneurs, and that is why this cooperation is important to us. For the realization of the economic paradigm, social change is also necessary, and primarily justice, a culture of work, and digitalization as a tool to increase transparency, but also the efficiency of public administration – emphasized the president of ZRIN Damir Vanđelić after signing the contract.
