Croatia celebrates on joining EU

Back to News

Croatia has become the 28th member of the European Union, with crowds joining celebrations in the capital Zagreb

Fireworks lit the sky as membership became effective at midnight (22:00 GMT), with President Ivo Josipovic describing the event as historic.

It comes almost two decades after Croatia's brutal war of independence.

But correspondents say enthusiasm for the EU in the country has been dampened by the eurozone crisis, and Croatia's own economic problems.
