On Thursday, May 20, 2004, the Croatian House of Washington,
D.C. will host a panel discussion at Georgetown University
Conference Center titled "Investment in Croatia: Prospects for
Growth." The purpose of this event is to inform the audience
about developments, challenges and investment opportunities
for foreign investors in Croatia, including the overview of the
country's political and economic conditions, fiscal policies and
anticipated legal reforms. There are two main goals for the
discussion: One of them is to highlight specific industry sectors
and opportunities for investments by foreign companies, and
American companies in particular, in Croatia. And the second
goal is to provide a forum for potential U.S. investors and
Croatian private and public sector representatives to discuss
opportunities for concrete business cooperation.
Included in the panel discussion will be presentations by
officials from both Croatian and U.S. government, investment
overviews from experienced entrepreneurs and a discussion
session, which will give audience the opportunity to ask
questions. The panelists will include: Dr. Ante Babic, State
Secretary of the Central State Administrative Office for the
Development Strategy of the Republic of Croatia; Mr. Nadan
Vidosevic, President of the Croatian Chamber of Commerce; Mr.
Wade Channell, President of the American Chamber of
Commerce in Croatia; Dr. Borislav Skegro, CEO of Quaestus

Prime Minister of the Republic of Croatia; Mr. Victor Dodig, CEO
of the global asset management group of UBS in Toronto,
Canada and Mr. Milan Racic, CEO of the Load Factor Consulting
Group in Washington, D.C.
This panel discussion will be of particular interest to
