Abstract: The Croatian Government has implemented measures to encourage entrepreneurship through the ministry in charge of the enterprise. In the mandate of the Government from 2008 by 2011 the ministry in charge of the issue was the Ministry of Economy, Labour and Entrepreneurship. The government that was formed in December 2011 founded a new ministry - the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Crafts.Ministry of Economy,Labour and Entrepreneurship implemented measures to encourage entrepreneurship through annual Operational plans, and the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Crafts through annual programs named Entrepreneurial impulse. The method in the paper is the method of analysis of paid support from the state level by county, as well as analysis of paid support of active businesses in every county. Normally the prevailing opinion is that, when it comes to incentives from the state level, eastern Croatia and Osijek-BaranjaCounty isdeprived. The analysis showed that was not the case with the implementation of measures to encourage entrepreneurship from the state level. Osijek-Baranja County is in the fourth place by the amount of paid support, and third by value of land that was owned by the Croatian Government, and which government has donated to local governments-cities and municipalities for the development of enterprise zones.This indicates that the Osijek-Baranja County as well as cities and municipalities on its territory were active in the implementation of measures to encourage entrepreneurship from the state level, and certainly in these processes played an important role supporting institutions for the development of entrepreneurship in the Osijek-Baranja County -business centers and incubators, and the Regional Development Agency of Slavonia and Baranja. The aim of this paper is to present the implementation of measures to encourage entrepreneurship from the state level in the Osijek-Baranja County since 2008 by 2012 year, and show that Slavonia in these processes has not nipped. The reason for this is the allocation of state aid in a transparent manner and with clear criteria that are applied consistently, and proactive regional and local governments.
