The World Bank has been focusing its assistance on helping Croatia prepare for successful EU integration and implement structural reforms which would boost competitiveness and mitigate the impact of the crisis. The Bank is also helping with investments in major trading routes such as the Port of Rijeka; promoting research and development, aligning the Croatian agriculture sector to that of the EU and supporting the judicial and revenue administration reforms. It has also assisted with the revitalization of war-affected areas through job creation and mine clearing, improvements in the quality of lives of vulnerable groups, and the protection of the environment and promotion of energy efficient solutions. All of these efforts have the aim of helping Croatia enter the EU with the foundations of a strong and stable economy.
