The country often remains passive in EU working groups, which may discourage investors. AmCham proposes introducing a standardized process for creating national positions, including mandatory consultations with the business community and other stakeholders.

Key recommendations include:

• launching an online portal to track EU initiatives and collect feedback,
• establishing a cooperation model between Croatia’s representatives in EU working groups and stakeholders,
• strengthening the role of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs in coordination and monitoring.

This approach would ensure more inclusive, higher-quality, and consistent national positions, facilitate transposition of EU law, and increase trust among the public and investors.
