Vanjske suvremene migracije kao čimbenik integracije Hrvatske u zapadnoeuropske asocijacije
Contemporary Emigration as a Factor of Integration of the Republic of Croatia into West-European Associations

Summary/Abstract: The employment of workers from the Republic of Croatia in the West-European countries enables the establishment and development of qualitative and quantitative bilateral relationships, which will consequently quicken the integration process of the Republic of Croatia into West-European associations. The emigration of workers and their families has generated a great number of sociological, economic, security, demographic, legislative and political problems. Dealing with the above-mentioned problems became the basis for the establishment and growth of bilateral relations. The effect of the cooperation is evident in a large number of quantitative and qualitative agreements and conventions signed between the Republic of Croatia and West-European countries. These agreements refer primarily to social security, health and retirement insurance, cultural, educational and technological cooperation, political and economic cooperation. Besides the afore-mentioned, the following agreements have been signed: on stimulation and protection of investments, on cooperation in dealing with international organized crime, drug trafficking, slave trade and arms trade, terrorism, communications, double taxation, debt rescheduling and those succession-related. The strategic priority of the Republic of Croatia is to develop and strengthen integration ties with West-European countries and establish a compatible political, legal and economic system.
