Croatia is on track to become part of the European Union’s (EU) borderless area of Schengen, with their Prime Minister, Andrej Plenkovic, announcing that Croatia has overcome its last formal obstacle.
Croatia joined the EU’s standard currency zone, adopting the Euro in 2013 and becoming an EU member. It was, however, not part of the Schengen area.
Plenkovic also expressed his support for two other EU member countries, Bulgaria and Romania, in joining the Schengen zone.
A committee of the European Parliament is expected to give its approval in the coming weeks, with the final decision to come from the EU Justice and Home Affairs Council.
