  • Croatia has expressed dissatisfaction with the state of its European Union membership negotiations, claiming it is not getting enough credit from the EU's side for the pace at which it is carrying out internal reforms.
  • For his part, Austrian Socialist MEP Hannes Swoboda - in charge of the Croatia dossier in the European Parliament, reiterated earlier calls for Croatia to speed up reforms in order to finalise accession negotiations by the end of this year.



    Talks should be finalised by the end of 2008 so as to leave enough time for MEPs to give their assent to the terms of Croatia's membership of the bloc – known as the accession treaty - before the 2009 European election.
