"To get to this point, Croatia has gone through seven years of tortuous and often unpopular EU-guided reform. "

"Croatia, a nation lost in translation
Despite the fact that our country joins
the European Union on Monday,
we don't seem in the mood to celebrate"

When they change tomorrow Prices are expected to go up

Travelling to Croatia is getting more expensive, trust. It's getting more and more tourist interest, demand = prices go up. The best time to go on holiday to Croatia is NOW, haha.

Anyway, I'm so excited! It means someone special I know in Croatia can come visit me without a visa soon :) yeyeyeye

We could already go there, they're lax.

I met a Croatian boy once. I always pissed him off by calling him Russian. He hated it.

Great for them! I wish Serbia would follow Croatia's steps, but this country is such a mess :(
