Financial crisis and EU enlargement- Should Iceland and Croatia become EU member states at the same time?

The aim of this study is to review EU’s motives for accepting Iceland so openly and for encouraging it to become e member state as soon as possible. Special accent is on the economic motives of Iceland and Croatia to become members of EU. The study offers the comparison of Iceland and Croatia in the EU accession process. The analysis and comparison will determine whether Iceland should become a full fledged EU member state and when this should happen, that is, the pros and cons of Iceland’s accession to the EU.
