The Memorandum implies Norway’s assistance in the form of the 30 million kunas' worth of non-repayable funds with the aim of offering support, through financial and technical assistance, for the sectors in need of upgrading in order to reach the European standards, as well as supporting Croatia’s efforts to speed up its EU accession process.
