Višnja Samardžija action in ten strategic areas. These are: people; knowledge and education; infrastructure; information inter-connectedness; social cohesion; macroeco­nomic stability; an efficient financial market; sustainable development; and uniform regional development, accompanied by the new role of the state transformed into an efficient and effective service acting for its citizens and entrepreneurs. Each strategic area identified specific goals as well as measures and actions to be undertaken. This document is part and parcel of our pre­accession commitments. Human resources development is in one of the key issues of the Strategy. Therefore, although the primary goal of the Strategic Development Framework is not focused on the Lisbon Strategy as such, it will be based on its approach and it is to a great extent encompassing its goals and methods. The above-mentioned document is one of the first documents of its kind that was prepared in consultation with almost all relevant stakeholders in Croatia (government bodies, public institutes, National Competitiveness Council, eco­nomic and social partners, civil society) and was followed by public debates 10 . However, bearing in mind the fact that the document does not have an implementation character, there is an urgent need to develop an action plan or other implementation instruments with clear obligations, defined responsi­bilities, deadlines and reporting system, in order to be able to implement it successfully and in time. Therefore, it will be necessary to prepare an action plan aimed at implementing specific Lisbon reforms. The Croatian Parliament announced that it will maintain a high level of public awareness of this matter and will hold the government accountable for engaging all relevant stakeholders in preparing the future National Reform Programme( Mimica). It was announced by the government that mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of the goals envisaged by the Strategic Development Frame­work will be defined in a separate document soon. The control mechanisms will include benchmarks for measuring the level of implementation of the strategy. Apart from the above-mentioned new strategy, Croatia has prepared a number of other economic policy and strategy documents, such as the National Programme of EU Integration, the Pre-accession Economic Programme, Nati­onal Development Programme, Economic and Fiscal Policy Guidelines, etc. They are all emerging from or driven by the EU accession process. 10. The Strategic Development Framework 2006-2013 was extensively presented on the Lisbon Strategy Conference on 3 May by Martina Dali ć, State Secretary in the Central Office for Development Strategy and Coordination of EU Funds(CODEF). 22
