It became part of the European Union in 2013 – when it became the 28th member state – and although it does plan to enter the eurozone, it still currently uses the kuna as its national currency.

Croatia still presents a great upcoming opportunity for UK businesses though – UK goods exports to Croatia were about £189.85 million in 2014 – so if you’re looking to export to Croatia, here’s all you need to know…

Video conferencing has been thrust into the mainstream with apps like Skype and G+ Hangouts – no need for expensive VC equipment, just a smartphone and an internet connection does the trick these days.

The trouble is, it’s never quite that simple – internet connections vary, buffering or lagging can interrupt things, and video calling is a sure fire way to hammer your smartphone’s battery.

That’s why a simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective conference call is the best bet.

The first contact between England and Morocco is thought to have been King John’s failed attempt to get Moroccan support against the French in the thirteenth century.

Things have gotten a bit better since then though and the two countries have enjoyed a trading relationship since the fifteenth century – in fact, the UK is one of Morocco’s oldest partners and was the nation’s main trading partner during the nineteenth century.

And this working relationship is something that is being worked on by the current UK government, not least to take advantage of the country’s unique and strategic location at the threshold of Europe and the gateway to Africa.

Although Rabat is the political capital of Africa, Casablanca is the country’s business capital – and because no one wants a three-hour flight as part of their commute, it makes sense to keep in touch with colleagues or clients via conferecne call.

So here’s how to quickly set up a teleconference between UK and Morocco, using nothing more than a mobile or landline telephone.
