Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the endogenous development characteristics of chosen Croatian counties. The analysis suggests that the position on the Western border of the country positively influences the development capacity of Croatian counties. Development 25 performances of the Vukovar-Srijem County are analyzed with regard to previous insight. Considerable asymmetries between successful Croatian counties and the Vukovar-Srijem County are found. Therefore, optimizing mechanisms are proposed as an operational plan for the leverage of development asymmetries. These policies are proposed in order to avoid the deepening of existing asymmetries in the context of the Croatian integration to the European Union.
