HAKOM, who was among TAIEX beneficiaries before Croatia’s accession to the European Union, responded to Georgia’s needs and sent two experts on a three day visit to Tbilisi to present Croatia’s experience with the preparation of legislation for the opening of the postal services market in compliance with the EU postal directives. HAKOM’s experts, Ana Šubat Perković and Marijan Bolarić, who participate in the TAIEX programme as experts from the European Union Member States, will carry out the TAIEX mission in early June. This mission will be the second time that HAKOM participated in the provision of technical assistance to countries outside the European Union which indicates the level of respect enjoyed by HAKOM abroad, particularly since it has been less than a year since Croatia’s accession to the EU.
