A view shows Croatias UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik
A view shows Croatias UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik April 29, 2013. The barren Srdj plateau overlooking the mediaeval city of Dubrovnik is a real estate developers dream, offering breath-taking views of Croatias top tourist destination. Thats precisely why an Israeli-Croatian consortium began planning a billion-euro golf resort there in 2006. Seven years on, construction has yet to start. This project typifies the problems facing foreign investors in Croatia, which joins the European Union on July 1, more than 20 years after it broke away in war from socialist Yugoslavia.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik in Croatia, showcasing its timeless beauty and historical significance. Taken on April 29,2013, the image reveals the stunning view from the barren Srdj plateau overlooking this enchanting city. Known as a real estate developer's dream, this location offers breathtaking vistas of one of Croatia's top tourist destinations. Intriguingly, an Israeli-Croatian consortium had planned to build a billion-euro golf resort on this very site since 2006. However, despite seven years passing since the initial plans were made, construction has yet to commence. This project serves as a prime example of the challenges faced by foreign investors in Croatia. Croatia itself is set to join the European Union on July 1st after breaking away from socialist Yugoslavia more than two decades ago through war. The picture not only showcases Dubrovnik's allure but also sheds light on the complexities and obstacles that foreign investors encounter when trying to navigate Croatia's business landscape. Photographer Antonio Bronic expertly captures both the picturesque charm of Dubrovnik and hints at larger economic issues facing this emerging European nation. This image stands as a testament to both natural beauty and human ambition while offering viewers a glimpse into an ongoing struggle between development aspirations and preserving cultural heritage.
