Croatia stands to benefit from such a zone, according to President Stipe Mesic. "The advice of the EC is making it possible for Croatian products to enter more strongly in the market of neighbouring countries, because we are technologically more developed," Mesic said.
Hrvatska će imati koristi od takve zone, smatra predsednik Stipe Mesić. “Preporuka EK omogućava hrvatskim proizvodima da snažnije prodru na tržište susednih zemalja, zato što smo tehnološki razvijeniji,” rekao je Mesić.
