Croatians vote in favor of EU accession
Over two-thirds of voters in Croatia said yes to their country joining the European Union in a referendum held over the weekend.
Croatia is due to accede to the bloc in July 2013 provided all current member states ratify the country’s accession agreement. Croatia will become the 28th member of the EU.
Following the majority yes vote in the referendum, Croatia’s Prime Minister Zoran Milanoviæ said: "It is a historic decision... possibly a turning point in our history.”
All the major political parties in Croatia are in favor of the country joining the bloc, despite the financial crisis plaguing the European Union.
