The challenges of communicating EU integration issues in Croatia
The process of negotiations on EU accession implies the need for raising awareness on all kinds of impacts that membership brings for the wider community and its citizens. Stimulating and enhancing public debates and other forms of citizens’ participation in the process has proved to be very useful in former candidate countries. The same challenge faces Croatia in the process of accession. The EU communication strategy has tried to overcome communication gaps between political elites and the public. Its failures and successes should be taken into consideration in Croatia, which needs stronger support for EU accession among its citizens. A number of experts and representatives of the academic community have been actively involved in the negotiations with the EU, but there is still a lack of public debate based on in-depth analysis of the issues related to the impact of EU accession on certain areas. Education, environmental protection, consumer protection and health safety are examples showing the importance of understanding the impacts of accession.
