obrazloženje

English translation: explanation

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Croatian term or phrase:obrazloženje
English translation:explanation
Entered by: Eric Bullington

Croatian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / product insert/market placement
Croatian term or phrase: obrazloženje
This is a document from the Croatian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, issuing approval for market placement of a veterinary drug for domestic livestock. Most of the document is essentially a product insert, but at the end of the document there is a section explaning the background of the importing company, and of the Ministry's approval process. The heading of the section is:

obrazloženje

I realize this can be translated as "exposition" or "explanation". But I'm not satisfied with this translation. Any other ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Explanation:
I don't have better idea; I would not choose 'exposition' = a full explanation of a theory, plan etc. or (rare) an event at which people, businesses show, sell thir goods etc.;
whereas 'explanation' = a statemetn or piece of writing that tells you how something works or makes sth easier to understand; or a reason given for something ..

Thanks ihodak4, for the 'explanation' of the word obrazloženje in this context.

I think you correct that this translation is the best one that literally conveys the meaning of the original word.

However, I must admit I used Sherefedin's "commentary" because it sounded so much better and still managed to convey something close to the literal meaning.
