IST Developments – A Model from Croatia?

The term Balkans – encompassing a number of South-East Europe countries – represents one of Europe's peripheral areas with perhaps largest needs for development and economic reconstruction, and these are certainly to be achieved by means of ISTs. Different steps have been carried out in individual countries either within government/local community initiatives or as results of SME endeavors. In the case of Croatia, a handsome level of telematic services have already been developed forming a good basis for IS introduction. Especially Croatia's westernmost Istrian County started a number of IT projects in order to reengineer and make more efficient its administration, to provide interaction with the public and to establish an environment monitoring and management system; extensions to this system were to eventually form a regional information infrastructure.
