Political Stability - A major asset to Croatia
Croatia has remarkably emerged from communism and war into developing one of the most politically stable countries in Europe. Croatia has governments that last, that go to full term. This contrasts favourably with EU states, and is a key asset. This impressive stability is too often overlooked. Since becoming independent, there have been four full terms of government. The initial HDZ led Croatian governments lasted two terms until being defeated in 2000. There was the peaceful handover from the HDZ to Ivica Racan’s SDP led government. Racan’s government, despite being made up of a coalition of smaller parties, lasted a full term. In 2003, Ivo Sander’s HDZ government came to power, and despite being a minority government has almost completed its full term. This contrasts well compared to others such as New Europe countries like EU Member Poland, which rarely sees a Prime Minister last a full term let alone anything else. This stability is mirrored a Presidential level, with Croatian President Stipe Mesic well into his second term of office. Croatia’s political stability is currently on a par with the UK, if not more so given the recent change of Prime Minister in that country. Croatia does not even have single party majority governments like the UK, but still has full term governments. If Croatia can maintain such stability, then the chances of future prosperity are much improved - both in the short and long term. It surely is also something for which the European Union should take great note, given their scepticism over enlargement. Croatia will a stable part of the EU, and thus one of its more reliable members - which should be welcomed by all. Croatia must take care not to lose this asset
