Incidentally about Croatia

(… I'm sorry, the topic isn't exciting, but in the 15 minutes I have, I can only deal with this… )

As an integration, and perhaps partial correction, of the considerations made in the previous post, I have the honor to report this tweet here as well:

whose meaning can easily be guessed by someone like me who knows nothing of Croatian but a bit of economics (St. Gogolo assists us: “ I have called a meeting with the competent ministers and representatives of the Tax Administration, the Customs and the State Inspectorate for further activities to protect consumers from unjustified price increases. The introduction of the euro is not a reason to raise the prices of goods and services." ).

One question remains: how does a government arrive so unprepared in the face of such a predictable event, also because even the best (?) had stumbled upon it!?

The usual considerations remain valid: these are short-term effects…

(… I have to get off: see you later! …)
