County prefect Introduction
Dear readers,
In order to promote cooperatives as relevant factors of economic growth and development, the Osijek-Baranya County has, together with the ’’Poduzetnička mreža’’ Cooperative, initiated the project of publishing a publication entitled ’’Zadruga za 21. stoljeće (Cooperative for the 21st Century)’’. Publishing of the above publication is aimed at making the broader public familiar with cooperatives as a form of international linking and association of entrepreneurs and at introducing existing and future entrepreneurs with the benefits from doing business in cooperatives and thus generate prerequisites for development of cooperative entrepreneurship.
ZPM (Entrepreneurial Network Cooperative) Manager’s foreword
Dear readers,
I am proud to present another edition of a brochure named ’’Zadruga za 21. stoljeće (Cooperative for the 21st Century)’’. Our original idea to prepare such a brochure, which we came up with in 2006, has been successfully implemented in cooperation with the Osijek-Baranya County. By the time, the brochure has been updated several times and translated into English. In 2012, it was recognized at the national level as well. All the copies have always been rendered to the target group and broad readership.
