Editing Foreign relations of Croatia (section)

==Foreign support==
Croatia receives support from donor programs of:
* [[European Bank for Reconstruction and Development]] (EBRD)
* [[European Union]]
* [[International Bank for Reconstruction and Development]]
* [[International Monetary Fund]]
* [[USAID]]

Between 1991 and 2003, the EBRD had directly invested a total of 1,212,039,000 [[Euro|EUR]] into projects in Croatia.

In 1998, U.S. support to Croatia came through the Southeastern European Economic Development Program (SEED), whose funding in Croatia totaled $23.25&nbsp;million. More than half of that money was used to fund programs encouraging sustainable returns of refugees and displaced persons. About one-third of the assistance was used for democratization efforts, and another 5% funded financial sector restructuring.

In 2003 USAID considered Croatia to be on a "glide path for graduation" along with [[Bulgaria]]. Its 2002/2003/2004 funding includes around $10&nbsp;million for economic development, up to $5&nbsp;million for the development of democratic institutions, about $5&nbsp;million for the return of population affected by war and between 2 and 3&nbsp;million dollars for the "mitigation of adverse social conditions and trends". A rising amount of funding is given to cross-cutting programs in anti-[[political corruption|corruption]], slightly under one million dollars.

The European Commission has proposed to assist Croatia's efforts to join the European Union with 245&nbsp;million euros from [[PHARE]], [[Instrument for Structural Policies for Pre-Accession|ISPA]] and [[SAPARD]] aid programs over the course of 2005 and 2006.
