Croatia is very small country, and quite unknown to many people. Many people maybe heard about it, but aren’t able to show it on a map. To help you find it, just look at the Europe, find Italy (big semi-island that looks like a boot :-)), look right over the Adriatic sea and you will find a peace of land called Croatia. Croatia is situated close to densely populated and industrially developed European countries. Many internationally important transport routes cross Croatia. The importance of the geographical position of the Republic of Croatia is also enhanced by the Adriatic Sea, the northernmost gulf of the Mediterranean which is the closest to the central part of the European continent.
