The study conducted by Research and Markets has found that just under 45 per cent of the population in Croatia had access to the internet by the end of last year and broadband was available to 9.7 per cent of Croatians at the end of the first quarter of this year.
According to the research, which looked at the fixed and mobile internet markets during the second quarter of this year, the number of people using mobile broadband increased, although there were still fewer people using this technology compared to fixed line internet.
The report stated: "Along with the further liberalisation of the fixed market and adoption of new Electronic Communications Act, Croatia is on its way to reduce [the] gap [between Europe].
