"Croatia joined the European Union in July to indifference among EU citizens and Croats alike. The reason - the economic crisis. The twenty years since the transition to a market economy began have introduced the population to unemployment and job insecurity. Workers who remember the “Socialist economy" era alternate between resignation, nostalgia and hopes for an economic reboot. A state enterprise in the throes of privatisation paints a telling picture."
