ZAGREB, Dec 12, 2020 - Croatian President Zoran Milanovic said on Friday that the amending of the Dayton Peace Accords or any strategic decisions could not be made without the consent and agreement of all the three constituent peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Dayton Agreement is what it is, and I cannot see any possibility of amending it without violence, and I do not think of a war when mentioning violence, I refer to mental violence and any other violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and everyone is aware that it could never pass in Bosnia and Herzegovina and it has always provoked a larger-scale violence, Milanovic said in an interview for the HRT broadcaster commenting on the forthcoming 25th anniversary of the conclusion of the Dayton peace accords.

He said that the Dayton agreement framework could not be amended without the will of all the three constituent peoples.

No one should have illusions that any strategic decisions could be made if there was no consent of all the three constituent peoples. This is not any medieval concept, this is a prerequisite for any civic state, the Croatian head of state said and then summarized his message this way: "First use soap and then afterwards apply perfume."

He went on to says that in the last five years only "lower-ranking clerks" from the international community had discussed the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"Those are people who are almost let loose, who are tailoring and keeping maps and pairs of compasses, sets squares, rulers in their hand, they are giving instructions on what something should look like, instead of getting their own house in order first."

He went on to say that no matter what he thought of it, the Serb entity - the Republic of Srpska - in Bosnia and Herzegovina could not be annulled.

Milanovic underscored that it was no secret that of the three constituent peoples, the Croats were dissatisfied with the current situation.

Support to any decision on purchase of multipurpose Air Force jets

President Zoran Milanovic said that he would support any decision which the Andrej Plenkovic government would made on the purchase of fighter jets, adding that he was well informed of that process.

Defence Minister Mario Banozic has recently said that the government would decide on the procurement of fighter jets at the beginning of 2021 and that a contract to that effect could be signed in late 2021. Croatia has received four offers. The United States is offering the new F-16 Block 70, Sweden is offering the new Gripen C/D model, while France and Israel are offering used aircraft - Dessault Rafale and F-16 Block 30 respectively.

Milanovic said that he had previously suggested that the most logical move could be the acceptance of the US offer, because the Americans are long-term and long-standing partners, however, they should make an effort and provide Zagreb with solid arguments for the choice of their offer in compliance with the tender.

December 12,  2020 - Once the sole preserve of Istria,  Croatia's truffle hunting options are expanding - first Zagreb and now Dalmatia.

I love the randomness of life in Croatia. 

A wonderful country there the unexpected is always around the corner. 

An invitation to go truffle hunting in the forests outside Zagreb a few weeks ago piqued my curiosity. Truffles and Zagreb? Really?!?

Oh, yes, but not only that. It seems that Turopolje truffles (the region which includes Velika Gorica by the airport) have long been an established tradition for those in the know - for years, apparently, these Turopolje truffles have been sent to Istria and sold there. In some cases, they have even made their way back to the restaurants of Zagreb via an Istrian detour. 

My day in the forests of Turopolje was indeed an eye-opener, and you can read about it in Move Over Istria: the Rise of Zagreb Truffle Hunt Tourism.

And the Zagreb truffle story went beyond hunting. The truffles are now being served in dishes in an increasing number of local restaurants and they are inspiring new culinary combinations, two of which TCN featured recently - strukli with truffles and truffle pralines. You can learn more about them and follow the Zagreb truffle story here. 

And there the story might have ended had I not been made aware of something that had completely escaped me during my 14 years living in Dalmatia - truffle hunting on the edge of Split. 

I am reliably informed that the best places for truffle hunting in Dalmatia are Dugopolje and parts of Zagora, but there is zero chance of finding them without those specially trained hunting dogs. 

One small local business offers just that - the complete truffle hunting experience, complete with 4x4 transfers to their secret hunting locations. The Najev family are local Dalmatians in love with their heritage, offering a range of tours in inland Dalmatia, which is one of the most beautiful and undiscovered parts of Croatia in my opinion. Exploring the nature of the region is as exhilarating as the tour itself. Depending on the season, the truffle types to be hunted are the black truffle (Tuber aestivum, Tuber brumale, Tuber melanosporum) and the white truffle (Tuber borchi-bianchetto). At the end of the hunt, there is a truffle-themed tasting of local products. 

One more authentic experience in Croatia that is not so well-known. Croatia is full of such experiences, and the development of an eco-system supporting and promoting such specialist local tourism will help develop a more diverse and sustainable tourism offer. 

You can learn more about Truffle Hunting in Dalmatia on the official Facebook page.

December the 12th, 2020 - Here in Croatia, more than 136 thousand people have already contracted the coronavirus and had their positive result lab confirmed, but the CNIPH measures and rules that must be followed continue to apply to them because it is not known how long immunity from SARS-CoV-2 actually lasts.

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, a member of the Croatian Government's Scientific Advice Council, Ozren Polasek, stated that to date, no special rules for those who have already had the virus have been developed.

''We believe that it's still necessary for those people to adhere to the CNIPH measures, especially since we now know that it is possible to become infected again within a period of six months, and possibly shorter," Polasek said for RTL.

A case of reinfection with the novel coronavirus was reported in the continental Croatian town of Bjelovar where a woman contracted coronavirus twice in just three months. She had no symptoms the first time, and probably didn’t develop any antibodies either. As for immunity, it has recently been mentioned that it lasts for three to eight months.

"The claims are different because not enough time has passed to see how long such an immune response lasts," Polasek explained.

People who have had the coronavirus and no longer have symptoms can go back to work after 10 days. If they then come into contact with a positive person, they don't have to stay at home. According to the recommendation of the CNIPH, this is valid for six months. Recommendations regarding distance, disinfection and wearing masks must continue to be adhered to.

"For now, there's no evidence to suggest that immune people can't transmit the disease and that's why people who have survived COVID-19 still need to wear a mask," said Krunoslav Capak, director of the Croatian Institute of Public Health. MP Nino Raspudic, who himself had coronavirus, believes that new measures could be introduced for those who have gotten over the virus, at least while they're in a familiar environment.

"My lungs are currently weakened, but I had to wear a mask on those weakened lungs all day in Parliament and for six hours at a time, although it has been scientifically proven that I can neither become infected or transmit the virus to others at that point," he said, referencing the CNIPH measures and a perceived lack of flexibility.

People who have already had coronavirus have a somewhat easier time getting across the border. They don't have to be retested, so they can, for example, enter and leave neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina without any worries.

"People who have suffered from COVID-19 in the last three months can cross or enter the Republic of Croatia without a PCR test, but the date of arrival must be 14 days from the diagnosis of the disease," said the head of the Service for Neighbouring Countries of the Police Directorate, Tomislav Kufner. An official document on that doesn't yet exist, but some countries have introduced an immunity passport which acts as confirmation that you have had coronavirus and that you can freely travel.

Even if you have already had coronavirus, vaccination continues to be recommended for everyone. "What we now know is that the level of antibodies after the illness is proportional to the severity of the clinical picture - the sooner you have a milder form of the clinical picture, the lower the level of those antibodies and as such - the shorter the protection," said Polasek.

December the 12th, 2020 - The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has shaken the Croatian economy in a way that is difficult to believe could happen in this day and age. Five Croatian sectors have been hit the hardest by the pandemic and all of the restrictions that have come with it.

As Jadranka Dozan/Poslovni Dnevnik writes, in addition to belonging to Croatian sectors whose business is more exposed to the impact of limited mobility during the continuing pandemic, the extent of damage caused by this public health crisis within the realm of entrepreneurship also lies with the size of business entities in terms of their number of employees and the levels of their income.

Such a conclusion is imposed, among other things, from the structure of paid aid for the preservation of jobs from the government back during the first wave of the pandemic, which sought to weaken the blow to the economy in as much as was possible at the time.

According to an analysis done by the Fininfo portal, of the total grants paid out by the government so far, it is estimated that in the first three months of those measures, when they included the largest number of employees, around six billion kuna was paid out, after which the grants focused on the most exposed Croatian sectors, activities and entities.

Fininfo states that as much as 87 percent of the aid was paid to micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, which, they say, indicates their significantly higher exposure to damage caused by the current pandemic when compared to more resilient, larger enterprises.

To confirm this assumption, the relative exposure of a particular size of enterprise or company was also analysed, putting in the ratio of the number of employees and operating income of companies that received support in relation to those of the same rank in terms of size that didn't receive it.

The analysis included Croatian companies that submitted their annual financial reports for 2019 (which account for 84 percent of total aid received), and the findings confirmed a significantly stronger relative exposure for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises when compared to larger companies.

A significantly higher number of employees working for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises received grants compared to those who didn't, while in large companies, the situation is the other way around, say analysts led by the director of EL Koncept, which is behind the portal.

The situation looks remarkably similar when operating revenues are taken into account as a parameter. Thus, a larger part of business revenues generated by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises received grants than those who didn't and for larger companies, the situation is the other way around yet again.

"We can conclude that the current crisis has affected more than 60 percent of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises compared to 44 percent of large ones, and if we look at the entire economy, the total exposure to the pandemic stands at about 55 percent. Relatively, the most affected by it all are small and medium-sized companies, small in terms of their number of employees, and medium-sized in terms of their income,'' the analysis states.

These findings, however, suggest that in the forthcoming period, greater problems in the payment of obligations can be expected from micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Regarding the exposure of certain Croatian sectors, it is already very clear that the hardest hit are primarily those related to tourism, as they're based on mobility which is currently difficult.

However, Fininfo also addressed a more detailed examination of the relative exposure, given the number of workers, income and the number of entities, because, they say, this provides a better insight into the actual impact of a particular sector with the pandemic. Of the five most affected sectors, four are actually directly or indirectly related to tourism.

In addition to travel agencies and travel organisers, accommodation and catering services (the preparation and serving of food and beverages), these include wholesale and retail of motor vehicles, due to the large share of sales to car rental companies which have had very little business from tourism in 2020.

The only one of the five relatively most affected Croatian sectors not related to tourism is the category of processing of wood and wood products (with the exception of furniture). The average combined impact of the crisis on these five Croatian sectors exceeds an extremely concerning 80 percent in terms of operating income and number of employees.

In contrast to those Croatian sectors which have been the most deeply affected, back during the first wave of the pandemic, the crisis had the least impact on enterprises in computer programming and consulting, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, waste collection, treatment and disposal, and electricity and gas supply. The average combined exposure of the least affected Croatian sectors to the crisis stands at 15 percent and is far lower than the most affected sectors or the average impact that the pandemic had on the domestic economy as a whole.

December the 12th, 2020 - Hrvatska Posta/Croatian Post hasn't been immune to the devastating economic woes caused by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and the president of the management board, Ivan Culo, has addressed the pandemic-induced difficulties.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Suzana Varosanec writes, Hrvatska Posta - another large company whose normal activities and operations are currently significantly affected by the pandemic - is recording a high number of as many as 20 percent of its employees being placed into self-isolation. This fact, which understandably can't be influenced, is causing negative effects during the period in which annual ''peaks'' in parcel traffic on a daily and monthly basis occur - otherwise characteristic of the pre-festive Christmas period, additionally burdened by the effect of the recent Black Friday shopping.

With market changes, for example due to the limited possibilities with air parcel delivery, this new and unprecedented situation in which we currently all find ourselves has led to a lot of congestion in parcel traffic when compared to a number of previous years in Croatia, the region and beyond. Quite understandably, the number of customer inquiries and complaints has gone hand in hand with the difficulties and delays being experienced by Hrvatska Posta.

On this occasion, the President of the Management Board of Hrvatska Posta, Ivan Culo, explained that they're not trying to deny the existence of certain difficulties within the company, but as December is a really specific month in terms of mail for postal operators across Europe, their colleagues in Slovenia, Austria and Germany are also in a similar, trying situation, and the issues being faced by Hrvatska Posta aren't unusual.

"In the first seven working days of December, package traffic was higher by 22 percent when compared to the same period in 2019. We've prepared all of our available capacities in anticipation of the end of the year so that we're ready to meet this peak load, but we can't influence the pandemic and the measure of self-isolation of our workers. Therefore, we're asking our customers who are expecting their packages for a little understanding,'' said Culo, adding that all packages will be delivered and that Hrvatska Posta will continue to perform its activities at the highest level possible given the circumstances,'' concluded Ivan Culo.

December the 12th, 2020 - The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has forced many a planned investment to grind to a halt or be shelved all together, but love it or hate it, McDonald's is continuing with its sizeable investments in Croatia.

As Poslovni Dnevnik/Sergej Novosel Vuckovic writes, the largest fast food chain in the country is continuing with its investments in Croatia as if this isn't the most devastating economic crisis in memory. The fast food chain will open two new Croatian restaurants in just two months.

One is already operating and is located in Spansko in Zagreb. It has been in business since back in mid-October this year, where, in addition to its indoor facility, there is also a McDrive service for ordering from outside and McCafé. On top of that, a new restaurant in Bjelovar will open soon.

The original date was planned for mid-December, and it was postponed to the second half of the month, but according to the current epidemiological situation, it will certainly not be a classic opening event, with people entering, balloons and an entertainment programme as all such things are formally prohibited until December the 21st. This has also been confirmed by McDonald's who are confirming properly with the anti-epidemic measures introduced by the National Civil Protection Headquarters.

"The opening of the new McDonald's in Bjelovar is planned for the second half of December, but the exact opening date will depend on the dynamics of the ongoing works and the epidemiological situation," they said, noting that orders will be issued at McDrive for guests arriving by vehicle or via their McWalk services for those who have come on foot to pick up an order.

The Bjelovar facility has already reached its final shape and Bjelovar's citizens are quite impatient to welcome the opportunity to eat the food and see the town's economic situation improve as Bjelovar locals will be employed there.

"The investment in the restaurant, which is our 37th in Croatia, is worth more than two million euros, and Bjelovar is the 15th city in which we operate," said McDonald's Croatia. Earlier, director Pavel Pavlicek pointed out the following:

"This crisis has posed many challenges and we're especially pleased that we can continue to invest."

Despite this enormous company's continued investments in Croatia, the situation is still unstable. Until the normal functioning of catering facilities is enabled again, the new measures will continue to bring additional challenges in the organisation of business within the restaurant and their primary focus remains on protecting the health of their employees and customers, while respecting all hygiene and safety standards.

The McDrive and McWalk services, as well as McDelivery, will operate all day, and where feasible (depending on the city), delivery is possible through Glovo and Pauza.hr's services.

December 11, 2020 - The first meeting of the Council for Croatia's Recovery and Development of Tourism, the 2021 tourist year, and improving the tourist offer was held at the Ministry of Tourism and Sport. 

HRTurizam reports that the recently established council brings together key representatives of the tourism and travel sector, including associations of large and small hoteliers, camps, agencies, marinas, caterers, family accommodation, unions, carriers, and others.

The meeting participants agreed that health is in the first place and that by respecting the measures, we can contribute to the faster normalization of tourist activities. The meeting also discussed short-term recovery measures, preparation for the next tourist year, and things important for the tourism sector. Also, it appealed to hoteliers celebrating the New Year to adhere to the measures of the Headquarters. They assessed the Government of the Republic of Croatia's compensatory measures to preserve the economy and jobs as satisfactory, with the expectation that they will continue.

"Cooperation is now needed more than ever before as the tourism sector is one of the most affected by the pandemic," Brnjac said, adding that the full potential of European funds was being used to enable the tourism sector to grow further on a sound footing.

The Council members presented their views on the situation and constructive proposals to improve the tourist offer further. They expressed satisfaction with this model of work, believing that open cooperation guarantees quality solutions. Minister Brnjac once again called on them for cooperation and openness and for better interconnection to create quality tourist products, raise the competitiveness of Croatian destinations and announced further activities of the Ministry in which they will be involved.

New Year's Eve will not be possible in hotel and catering facilities following the measures and the current epidemiological situation.

"At today's meeting, we touched on key topics related to short-term measures for the recovery of Croatian tourism, with an emphasis on the hotel industry, as well as preparations for the 2021 tourist year. I must say that at this moment, the most important thing for all of us is to stay healthy and to stay focused until the end of this challenging year, thinking that our health is still in the first place. For us all to start preparing for next year as soon as possible, I appeal to my fellow hoteliers to take all the Civil Protection Headquarters' prescribed measures very seriously and not to try to interpret those measures as would suit us. Unfortunately, the situation is such that it does not suit anyone, but the most important thing is to stay healthy. Organizing New Year's Eve and other celebrations prescribed by the Headquarters is not allowed to be organized. I believe that we are all aware that we must spend these holidays in peace and health," pointed out Josipa Jutt Ferlan, president of the HGK Hoteliers Association.

Eduard Andrić, President of the Trade Union of Tourism and Services of Croatia and the Social Council for Tourism, pointed out that the meeting was good with open topics.

"My goal as a representative of the Trade Union and workers is for the Government to decide by Christmas at the latest whether the subsidies for workers go further, i.e., by Easter. This is the only condition for workers and employers to welcome the next season without any problems. Workers who are dissatisfied at the moment because most of them receive only support provided by the Government, will be in a position next year to return to their salaries agreed in collective agreements by the tourist season," said Andrić, adding that the goal is to stay healthy, which is why it is better, both for guests and workers, not to hold New Year's Eve.

"At today's meeting, we presented our proposals on the topic of recovery and resilience in the short term and preparation for the 2021 season, which aims to ensure quality service to all guests who will come to Croatia. We hope that the measures to preserve jobs will remain in force, at least until April, and we are pleased that the new liquidity loans will ensure better accessibility to small and family hotels. We are sure that with all the adopted measures and those planned, we will welcome guests in Croatia with a quality workforce and service. As for the topic of holding New Year's Eve in hotels, I think that most, or no one is even thinking about it, given that the measures that have been adopted in no way allow any celebration over 20 people or pouring alcohol. So, at the moment, the measures do not provide any possibilities for New Year's Eve, so I am surprised that some are advertising New Year's Eve, which will certainly not be able to happen,"  said Sime Klaric, president of the National Association of Family and Small Hotels.

"The conclusion of the first meetings goes in the direction of cooperation, openness, and a stronger focus on the domestic guest as well as on the importance of uniform security protocols, which are being prepared," concluded Minister Brnjac.

Associations in tourism and related activities that participated in the meetings were: Croatian Association for Tourism and Rural Development "Village Members Club", Croatian Rural Tourism Association, Family Tourism Association HGK, Adventure Tourism Association HGK, Cultural Tourism Association HGK, Croatian Holiday and Hostel association, Association of Hostels of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Family and Small Hotels, Association of Hoteliers of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, Group of unique luxury hotels HGK, Croatian Tourism and Services Union, Health Tourism Association HGK, Croatian Employers' Association, Business Tourism Association HGK, Croatian Tourism Association, KUH, Croatian Hotel Employers Association, Association of Catering Activities of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce, National Association of Caterers, Croatian Chamber of Trades and Crafts - Guild of Caterers and Tourist Workers, Association of Voices of Entrepreneurs, Association of Croatian Travel Agencies, Association of Travel Agencies HGK, Association of Croatian Tourist Guides, Association of marinas HGK, Association of boat accommodation providers - charter HGK, Association of tourist shipping companies HGK, River tourism association HGK and Diving tourism association HGK.
