“As we embark on the first year of the British Croatian Business Club, I envisage a network of business people with a common goal to centralise,fortify and mobilise the Croatian Diaspora not only within Britain, but globally. As a hub of international business support, we will provide a forumfor discussion and negotiation to facilitate business growth for Croatians all over the world. With the ascension of Croatia into the EU, a wealth ofopportunities will emerge, unprecedented in their potential. The BCBC will be here to support business that will flourish from this opportunity. We willbe here to strengthen relations and build understanding between the business networks of Britain and Croatia across a broad scope of importantfactors including protocol and regulations.” Frank Cetinich
