Implications of Croatia's Membership for the Western Balkans Region and the EU

The presentation focused on the consequences of membership in the EU that Croatia might expect at national level particularly from the economic point of view, considering the fact that the country entered the Union in the period of Eurozone crisis and during own prolonged recession. Secondly, the positive and eventual negative impacts for the Western Balkans region were taken into consideration (political significance, stabilization of the region, new chances in CEFTA, transfer of knowledge but also continued “transition fatigue”). Finally, the impacts of Croatia's accession on further enlargement were discussed, with the particular accent on the need for introducing new mechanisms for facilitating and speeding up the accession of WB countries.
