A view shows Croatias UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovni
A view shows Croatias UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik April 28, 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 showcases the UNESCO protected medieval town of Dubrovnik in Croatia, taken on April 28,2013. The image captures the breathtaking view from the barren Srdj plateau overlooking this historic city, which has long been a top tourist destination in Croatia. The picture highlights the untouched beauty of Dubrovnik's architectural history and its picturesque walls that have withstood the test of time. However, behind this stunning scenery lies a story of unrealized potential and foreign investment challenges. In 2006, an Israeli-Croatian consortium envisioned a billion-euro golf resort on this very site due to its unparalleled views. Yet, seven years later, construction is yet to commence. This project serves as an emblematic example of the difficulties faced by foreign investors in Croatia. As Croatia prepared to join the European Union on July 1st that year after breaking away from socialist Yugoslavia over two decades ago through war, it grappled with attracting international investments while preserving its cultural heritage and natural environment. Antonio Bronic masterfully captured this momentous scene where urban city meets coastal charm under a clear blue sky reflected in calm waters. With no people present within sight but fortified walls standing tall against time's passage, nature takes center stage alongside architectural beauty. This photograph evokes both awe for Dubrovnik's timeless allure and contemplation about how economic development can harmonize with environmental preservation in such historically significant locations.
