EU opens membership talks with Croatia
The European Union opened membership talks with Croatia after the United Nations war crimes tribunal’s chief prosecutor said the government in Zagreb was now co-operating fully with efforts to bring a suspect to trial.
The EU froze talks with Croatia that were to start in March over its failure to co-operate with the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, which indicted former Croat general Ante Gotovina for wartime atrocities against Serbs.
