摘要：On July 6, Croatia got a new Government following the surprise resignation of Prime
Minister Ivo Sanader, who cited personal reasons for withdrawal. The new Government,
that has undergone only few changes, is led by his former deputy, Ms. Jadranka Kosor.
Although reasons for his shocking decision remain unclear, Mr. Sanader said that blocked
negotiations over Croatia’s EU entry had contributed to it. These developments have shaken
the political scene in Croatia and raised fears over their impact on the economy. However,
the transfer of power was done swiftly. By dealing with a declining economy, the new
Government should immediately prove its ability to run the country in difficult times.
Maintaining control over the rising budget deficit has emerged as one of the priorities. At
the same time, the Government is expected to find ways to cushion the current economic
downturn and revive the EU entry negotiations.
