Brussels Presence
We have been present in Brussels since the beginning of Croatia's EU negotiation talks in 2005. We are also pleased to announce our alliance with Fipra International since January 2011 – a network of public affairs offices in 50 countries. The two firms work closely together to benefit their clients in EU affairs . . .
Working with Washington
We believe Washington is the place to be if you are a government relations and lobbying professional. Vlahovic Group is the only Croatia-based consulting firm with direct reach to Washington corridors of power. In early 2012, Natko Vlahović has spent a six-week long professional development training with Patton Boggs . . .
