‘Croatia on its path towards the EU membership: some experiences and lessons learned in the accession process"

Croatia entered the final stage in negotiation process on the EU membership and expects to conclude the remaining chapters in 2011. During more than five years of negotiations the country has made strong progress but some difficult issues in judiciary reform, market competition and other areas require additional efforts. The lecture gave answer on questions such as: What are the experiences in negotiations with the EU based on the new methodology? How to address open issues in most difficult chapters? What can be expected after accession? What role will Croatian accession have for the region of South-eastern Europe? How strong is the public support for the EU accession?
