The project entitled “Europe in Croatia” is intended to inform and educate Croatian citizens in the field of European integration at state, regional and local levels through the opening of Euro Info points. A Euro Info point consists of an Internet kiosk and info shelf containing promotional materials (sometimes it comprises only a kiosk or a shelf) exposed in city libraries in county centres and in certain other larger Croatian towns, as well as in faculties or other higher education institutions. The aims of the project are as follows:

• Informing citizens about the European Union and the activities of the Government of Croatia designed to achieve full membership of the EU

• Better public insight into the activities of the Government of Croatia regarding the Croatian accession process

• Better communication with citizens within the framework of European integration issues

• Easier access to information and promotion of the Internet as a general communication medium

In the course of implementation of the project so far, a strong and high-quality information infrastructure has been established (105 Euro Info points) and made available for Croatian citizens at any time with a view to providing comprehensive and accurate information about Croatia’s journey towards full membership of the EU. This kind of approach fully complies with the general stand taken by the Croatian Government, according to which Croatian citizens are treated as equal partners in the complex EU accession process, and as such are entitled to accurate and objective information about the very course of the process.

We wish to thank CARnet and HT for their assistance in the execution of this project.
