"Recently, Croatia has made considerable progress towards EU accession and will probably soon become the twenty-eighth Member State of the EU. In 2010, negotiators for the EU and Croatia closed 11 chapters, achieving a total of 28 (from the required 35). Last year’s achievement emphatically shows Croatia’s determination to continue with its reforms and will soon allow its citizens to benefit from EU membership. During the last meeting of EU and Croatian ministers which took place on 22 December 2010 in Brussels, the negotiators closed three important chapters, namely those concerning justice, freedom and security, foreign, security and defence policy, and the environment. The closure of these chapters indicates that Croatia’s legal system has been strengthened and that progress has been made in several areas simultaneously, such as wider cooperation between Croatia and the international community concerning military missions and civil affairs (“foreign, security and defence policy), and the guarantee of better air and water quality for the population of Croatia (environment).
Negotiations on the accession of Croatia to the European Union began in October 2005. In spite of some logistical problems, Croatia’s accession is strongly supported by EU Member States and many of them expect a rapid progress towards the closure of the seven remaining chapters by the end of 2011."@en1
