GRTU to assist Croatian chamber

The Malta Chamber for Small and Medium Enterprises - GRTU and the Croatian Chamber of Trades and Crafts are to formalise an agreement to cooperate to assist Croatian enterprises during Croatia's negotiations to join the EU, the GRTU said.

The agreement will also provide support for Croatian businessmen seeking opportunities in Malta and for Maltese businessmen seeking opportunities in Croatia. The GRTU will also provide training for the Croatian chamber to effectively handle the EU accession negotiations.
